I know that this hasnt got any belonging here, but i want (and MUST) share it with someone...So here you go...:
As a lot of you may already know, planet earth is in a very serious trouble...Nuclear factories, climate changing, planet is gonna crazy...
Here are some very bad facts about our planet...:
**More than 1,000,000,000 (one billion) trees are used to make disposable diapers every year.
**About 80% of our trash goes to landfills, 10% is incinerated, and 10% is recycled.
**If you throw away 2 aluminum cans, you waste more energy than 1,000,000,000 (one billion) of the world's poorest people use a day.
and many more...
Wanna change it? The do this 26 things you can do to help:
# Turn off lights.
# Turn off other electric things, like TVs, stereos, and radios when not in use.
# Use rechargable batteries.
# Do things manually instead of electrically, like open cans by hand.
# Use fans instead of air conditioners.
# In winter, wear a sweater instead of turning up your thermostat.
# Insulate your home so you won't be cold in winter.
# Use less hot water.
# Whenever possible, use a bus or subway, or ride your bike or walk.
# Try to buy organic fruits and vegetables if you're concerned about pesticides. (Organic food is grown without man-made fertilizers and/or pesticides).
# Don't waste products made from forest materials.
# Use recycled paper and/or recycle it. Reuse old papers.
# Don't buy products that may have been made at the expense of the rainforest.
# Support products that are harvested from the rainforest but have not cut down trees to get it.
# Plant trees, espessially if you have cut one down.
# Get other people to help you in your cause. Make and/or join an organization.
# Avoid products that are used once, then thrown away.
# Buy products with little or no packaging.
# Encourage your grocery store sell environmentally friendly cloth bags for people to use when they shop, or bring your own.
# REDUCE, REUSE, & RECYCLE.
# Compost.
# Buy recycled products.
# Don't buy pets taken from the wild.
# If you have a good zoo nearby, (if the animals are healthy and the zoo takes care of them), support it! Espessially if they help breed endangered animals.
