Starbucks coffee is helping the planet.

Seriously! Who knew drinking the richest coffee could help the enviroment? For every coffee you buy they donate some of the money to Conservation International, which is an organization that helps conserve acers of rainforests at a a time, which in turn, keeps 100 tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere. You know what else starbucks is doing? If you bring in your own personal mug, they deduct 10 cents off your bill, and you save a paper cup. They also used recycled paper for thier cups. And the lids are made of recycled plastic. So go get some coffee!

how about...

ANTIMATTER

(I put it in green to show i care about the environment)

well now my font is ****ed up

just great

anyway

back to antimatter

nuclear power plants opperate at 1.5 percent efficiency. on the other hand, antimatter works at near 100 percent effeciency. the downside: highly reactable and will explode if it contacts anything, even air. so far scientistshave made it one atom at a time, but could it get dangerous?

well i can't put up a poll, but i want some oppinions on this

ok...

umm hi... i would first like to know who the head cheese here is. get it? headcheese? heehee ANYWOO umm i have NO idea why i was asked to contribute to this blog but i am guessing i have to write something about saving the world *rolls eyes* first of all EGGS ARE NOT BABY CHICKENS they are eggs that have not been fertilized so that means you are not killing anything same with milk. i have to say i think it is really mean and gross to eat fish egg and Lamb meat or any other baby. i believe in a lot of things about saving the world but there is a point of "thou art obsesive" if you know what i mean and Meat is very good for you it helps build muscle and is good for other things so i dont want to hear any crap about meat not being good for you because i looked it up so that is all i have to say so bye bye

Peace,
Kansas

P.S. go here

Phew

Okay
Cows...or animals can't be blamed for OUR mistakes.
Meat is not that bad for you. Of course veggies are better, but I can't live without meat.

Conserving water!

Keep a milk carton in your shower and save some of the water that you use to flush the toilet. How? Keep the carton in the shower as it fills with water, then when you NEED to flush, dump some of the carton of water into the toilet and the toilet will flush on it's own without wasting as much water as it would normally.

Take shorter showers. OR if you want to be real anal about it turn on the water enough to get wet, do what you need to do to get clean (shampoo, etc) then rinse and get out.

Don't leave the water running when brishing your teeth or washing the dishes.

....If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down (keep the lid closed in between though...if you can stand to do that)

um....Make sure the dishwasher is completely full (don't break it though) before running it. Same with wahers.

If washing a car, turn OFF the hose after you have wet/rinsed the car.

Don't use water fountains as much.



OKAY MY POINT NOW

JUNK MAIL! I don't know oif I have said this before but it is really really pathetic how much PAPER junk mail we get in our mailboxes. It got to the point where I put a sign in my mail box saying "Please hold all mass-marketing mail" And guess what. I ONLY GET WHAT I NEED. And it is so nice to open the mail box and not get attacked by MARKETING. Don't we get enough of it watching TV and being on the Computer? And let's face it, mail is nearly a thing of the past. Letters and Cards are occasional but most people just said an e-mail or print out their coupons.

Just a thought. Kind of along the lines of SAve THe WOrld and SAve THe TRees too. (SAVE THE RAINFORESTS) Stuff like that, but important.

That and useless worksheets that teachers give us. I recycles my french stuff from last year and I had an entire BLACK GARBAGE bag FULL of JUNK. (In total I have three black garbage bags, and that's not including EVERYTHING that I recieved. Wasteful we are.

I was also kind of thinking about this...morbid as it may be.

Has anyone ever really thought about coffins now? These fancy things for people to be placed into the ground? Expensive and no offense, but a waste of material. Some are still made of wood, but waht about the chemicals that are being put into the earth? The paint? The metal pieces? I think that it is both cheaper and more earth friendy to be cremated. (Morbid, I know, but it's somewhat true.) I don't know, the people that we're burying aren't thinking much about how the earth will be turning out, now will they?

I think that that covers it...

random....

is it just me or is this blog getting a little off topic?? well i have just been told (by a very, very, VERY strange person) that we need to stop using cars so much. the gas is part of the reason that we have a hole in the ozone layer which is causing the innocent penguins and polar bears to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW DO WE DO THIS???:
-carpool, bike, or ride the bus to school or sporting events
-try to cut down on mowing the lawn
-in the winter shovel more (i know that u could just use the snowblower, but that is opening up the hole and it will keep you in shape and help burn callories - by shoveling)
-if it's close enough - bike to the store or mall
-if it's not close enough - get a group of people that you know that need to go and go together in one car
-walk or bike to work
-carpool with co-workers to get to work
-try to ride the school bus as much as you can (if not carpooling)
by doing these things we together can help save this earth from utter disaster (which i'm almost positive people don't want)
LET'S HELP KEEP THE EARTH LIVING INSTEAD OF JUST SITTING BACK AS THE END COMES NEARER........
LET'S SAVE THIS EARTH, IT'S UP TO THIS GENERATION OF KIDS AND ADULTS TO PERSERVE THIS EARTH.........
GO EARTH SAVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (if the earth does end, at least we can say that we tried to make a difference and tried to save this earth)
IT'S UP TO US....
THINK ABOUT IT............................................

I have decided to post YAY

STOP THE DEFORESTATION!!!! STOP DESTROYING THEIR HABITATS!!! STOP THE POACHING!!! SAVE THE CUTE ANIMALS! NOW!!

Animals that need to be saved because of habit destruction and poaching include:

The Clouded Leopard


The Red Wolf


The Asiatic Cheetah:


Short-tailed Chinchilla


The Marine Otter


The Iberian Lynx (one of the rarest animals in the world)


These are just a few of the many animals that suffer because of humans. They are hunted for their fur. Their habitats are destroyed in different ways. It must stop or we will lose these wonderful creatures that share our planet. The Earth doesn't just belong to humans, it also belongs to the animals, fish, insects and even plants.
