Tips to Save the Earth

1.Save the Earth!

Imagine asking the dustman to cart off 480 double-decker buses

jam packed with stinking, rotten rubbish.  Sadly, that is the
problem our environment faces every day.  Twenty four thousand
tonnes of waste is dumped daily and that includes a staggering
15 million plastic bags, enough to fill 25 buses.  Some of the
waste like sewage, finds its way into the harbour, polluting the
waters and killing marine life.  But the damage doesn't end
there.  Rotting waste releases harmful gases into the air which
threaten everyone's health.  Something has to be done. 
Everyone has a part to play, including you.  The following "green
tips" shows how you can save the environment and save money
at the same time.  Try your best to follow the advice listed below

everyone plays their part, we can all join together to save the
environment and look forward to a happier, healthier and cleaner
future.

Important Quote

-"Many people believe that we are facing an ecological disaster.

Every day we hear horrific statistics: the process seems
unstoppable. And the destruction recognizes no national
frontiers. I know all this, yet I cannot really comprehend it. I have
the simple thought that my day starts differently if, in the
morning, the sun is shining and I can gaze upon a tree bursting
with strength. It smiles at me and all at once I feel like smiling
back."-

Arpad Göncz - the President of Hungary


 "Why should I be eco-conscious?" you ask. There is a
very simple reason: We live on one earth, and this is the
only place we can live on right now. (We can't live in
space yet, we don't have the food growing capacity out
there yet for lots of people to survive). If we treat it like
the city dump it becomes dirty and unlivable. If we treat
 it well by being eco-conscious, the earth stays a clean place, perfect for living, for ourselves and
our children.
 What is "eco-conscious" anyway?

 Being "eco-conscious" means being aware of what you are doing, buying, using, and
what it does to the environment. For example, you might think, "Using a hairspray bottle
is so convenient for fixing my hair." If you were eco-conscious, though, you'd realize
"Does this hairspray bottle have CFCs in it? Could I be participating in helping to destroy
the Earth by using hairspray?"
 How can I be eco-conscious?

 You can find many ways to help save our environment by going to the "Ways to Help"
page on our site. Also, jump to our links page, which has links to many environmental
groups. These groups also list many ways to help keep our world safe.

 5.Our Earth is in trouble, and it needs your help! Our air is being poisoned everyday by
car fumes, our oceans polluted with toxic wastes, and our beautiful rainforests are being
destroyed. That's why the Earth needs all the friends it can get. Please visit the other areas
of our project to learn more about our environment, and ways that you can help make the
Earth a better place to live for our children.

6.The Earth 

o Deserts are advancing and taking over the land. In Mali the desert has taken over about
220 miles in as few as 20 years. Deserts can be repelled, by developing tree-planting
projects, having better agriculture and by managing the land better. However,
governments still are reluctant to fund anti-desertification, despite horrific droughts
that have occurred in recent years.

o The Earth has been around for 4.6 billion years. Scaling this time down to 46 years we
have been around for 4 hours and our Industrial Revolution began just 1 minute ago.
During this short time period we have ransacked the planet for ways to get fuels and
raw materials, have been the cause of extinction of an unthinkable amount of plants
and animals, and have multiplied our population to that of a plague.

o Despite all of the damage we have caused the environment most of it is reversible. We
can restore habitats and return species to them; clean rivers; renovate buildings;
replenish the topsoil, replant forests. However, these activities do not relieve the worst
symptoms of the damage. We still have to fix the source of these problems, us and our
vision that we must progress.
