Happy Earth Day to all! I am not a huge Earth Day activist or anything... what I do think is we should keep our Earth clean like we do our rooms (or try to at least)! I found this neat... Gaylord Nelson was the founder of Earth Day. It was initiated from US. The main reason behind earth day was to protect earth by providing protection to its environment. Budget of $124,000 was allocated to this day and it had taken seven months for planning it. Now, I really think we can do "our" part by simple things everyday! Here is how I contribute!
Reasons to Recycle:
• Each of us uses approximately one 100-foot-tall Douglas fir tree in paper and wood products per year.
• Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 mature trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil, and 4,100 kilowatt-hours of electricity — enough energy to power the average American home for five months.
Rules to Recycling:
• Paper: newspapers, magazines, catalogs, phone books, junk mail, office paper, paper board, etc.
• Plastic/Metal/ Glass: plastic bottles, green, brown, and clear food and beverage containers (no windows, mirrors, bakeware, or ceramics), aluminum, and steel cans.
• Corrugated Cardboard: please flatten and remove foam or other packaging materials.
Protecting earth is responsibility of all of us. We should work together to make our earth clean!
