Reasons for being eco-friendly
(1)The best reason for being eco-friendly is that it is good for all involved, humans and the natural world. If we do not take care of the land and water, it will hurt us as much as it hurts all other creatures. Think about it, (2)everything we use, make and take advantage of comes from the Earth. So if we pollute the land, air and water, where will we get the things we need and want. Though many do not believe in climate change, it is a fact that, (3)the CO2 emissions are creating a more acidic sea and rising temperature are rising. Maybe we are not feeling the effect here in the US as much as many places, but it is happening. (4)The Artic is at all time lows for ice thickness and coverage, along with Greenland and Antarctica. The cold areas are getting warmer and the ocean conveyor is slowing down, THAT IS WHY WE ARE GETTING THE COLDER WINTER. (5)The use of crop and yard chemicals are causing dead zones and dead ponds all over the country. There are dead zones off the south gulf coast (before the BP spill) where there are no living creatures because of all the crop chemicals that are draining from the Mississippi River. Lake Erie has a dead zone and smaller lakes thru out the states have huge fish kills from chemicals draining into lake.
The alternatives: Solar, wind, geothermal, better mpg cars like hybrids would make huge impacts for our children and grand children. (6)If we can just stay on track to a cleaner future we can help the kids you say you care so much about.
(7)200 acres of forest are cut down world wide in one minute, an area the size of South Carolina per year. (8)There are less than 3000 Tiger in the wild, but over 5000 in US zoos. Less than 40 Umur leopards are alive on the whole planet. The great and mighty Lions of Africa have less than 20,000 and dropping fast to poachers and tribal rituals. (9)Orangutans, Rhino's, Cheetahs, Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Jaguars, Mexican wolves, Florida Panthers, Tazmanian Devils, and thousands of others have less than that 20,000 on this planets. Most are said to be gone by 2050. (10)100 Million sharks are killed every year, 100 million, how long do think it will take to erase them from the planets.
POINT BEING: EVERY LIVING THING ON THIS PLANET IS A REASON FOR BEING ECO-FRIENDLY!
