[GO GREEN]

After being simply inspired by promoting a recycling program in lincoln county schools I've been doing some reading up on GOING GREEN. Now I know this may seem like a nerdy kind of partake but honestly there are more people, famous at that, that are all for GOING GREEN. The more I read into it the more interested I become. There are actually quite simple things we can do to help slow down global warming. Some of the simpliest things we can do is to plant a tree or two. "Every two seconds a football-field size forest is wiped out for development", quoted in Seventeen Magazine. Can you imagine how bit that becomes in the end? For those of you who don't already know, trees are what help up breathe healthy, so when we destroy them we are loosing our oxygen. To help in this effort we can simply plant a few trees here and there. I'm pretty sure you can plan a tree just about anywhere. Another SIMPLE thing we can do is recycle paper. With today's technology we can actually reuse paper that's already been written on, how convenient! All you have to do is simply place the paper in its proper recycling bin and let the state take of it from there.

[if you haven't noticed I've been using the word SIMPLE or SIMPLY alot mainly because these efforts to stop global warming...are simple!]

You can also save electricity by using natural light in your house or going outside when its pretty to do your homework. For one staying locked up in your house isn't good for the mind and body and secondly using light during the day time is completely pointless if you think about it. Open your blinds and if its warm enough your windows too and you can see just fine.

Lastly we are endangering animals. Those of you who are animal lovers or just care about animals can do something to prevent there elimination by looking into World Wildlife Funds Web Site. (info from Seventeen magazine). As for the fashion industry there are now more clothes being made out of organic items and the great thing is those clothes are actually fashionable. Some of the T-shirts also are promoting recycling or even GOING GREEN in general.

You can find all ways to actually save your planet earth by searching the internet. Like I said even the simplest things, like turning off your lights, using the same towel for a few days, and taking walks instead of driving around can help global warming come to some sort of halt. These ideas are not only good for the enviroment but also yourself, to get yourself back in shape.

Oh JUST thought of this one: You can also save paper/trees by posting your blogs on here instead of on paper!!! That's what's so great about this =]
