I love the Earth just as much as the next guy does, unless the next guy happens to be like a Earth hating punk, and I want to improve the Earth. Only problem is, I don't have much time to go out and tie myself to trees. Even if I did, my bedtime would get in the way (my mommy wants me to be home by sunset). Well I figured out 10 simple ways to help the Earth without having it interfere with important things in life like bedtimes or mommies.
A good way to improve the Earth is to buy food products in bulk amounts. For example, instead of buying 5 bags of 1 serving chips, you could buy a large bag that equals to 5 servings. Not only does the bigger bag use less foil or plastic, it also saves you money!
Gas prices are rising dramatically (ignore the last couple of months where gas dropped by about $2), fuel efficiency helps keep the Earth clean and keep your wallet/purse full. A good way to save gas is to not use the air conditioner when it's hot. Just roll down your window, after a while, you'll get used to the nice warmth. This helps the Earth and it also saves you money!
Cars also play a great role in gas efficiency. Choose fuel-efficient cars so you can save on gas for years to come. If you don't have a fuel-efficient car, then you can save gas other ways. Open the trunk of your car and remove any unnecessary items because they weigh the car down and use up more fuel. This helps the Earth and it also saves you money!
Plants are a great way to help the Earth! They take in Carbon Dioxide and release oxygen and water. Water your trees, water your lawn, don't pave your backyard, keep the beautiful lawn! You can also keep plants inside of your room or house.
This may not be you, but I've seen many of my neighbors do it. When you go to get the mail, instead of driving to the mailbox, just walk the 50 feet walk! 50 feet isn't a lot! It's good exercise and it makes you healthier!
Recycle, drop off your plastic or paper or metal into local recycling companies instead of tossing it into the can
If you walk out of a room, TURN OFF THE LIGHT. The boogeyman won't get you, even if he does, you should be proud that you sacrificed yourself for the sake of the Earth.
When you flush a toilet, the water is sent to a purifying factory. When you wash your car, the runoff water is sent to the drain. The drain leads directly into a natural water source; the soap you used to wash your car can kill much wildlife. Avoid letting run off water into the drain.
Reuse stuff; don't throw them away if they can be reused!
I'm running out of ideas other then, go outside and tie myself to a tree. So the best thing I can tell you to do is to pass this knowledge onto others. Send them the link to this page and tell them to pass it on to their friends as well! Together, we can save heal the world.
Wow this is a good article. Although not necessarily formal, VERY SATIRICAL and flat out funny. Its quite engaging. But your tree could use a better more lively and brighter picture, just a friendly suggestion. =)
