Going Solar!

If humans could only stop a think about the environment for once a realize that if we used solar energy more our planet would be so much healthier. We wouldn't waste so much energy, we really need to use the energy that is God given instead of using electricity. So it would be smart for people to install solar panels, and most likely if you do it people will follow. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/208573026463072276/

The Importance Of Digital Media

This infographic shows how bad for the environment that traditional print publishing is for the environment. This shows many mind-boggling statistics, one of which being that in a single year Americans use about 169 millions trees worth of paper in newspapers, catalogs, and magazines alone! That sure is a lot of paper. I think it's also crazy how many pieces of unwanted mails are sent to consumers each year. Like stop spamming us with stuff we don't want and save a tree or two! Sheesh! Greater utilization of digital media would do wonders for the reduction of these numbers.

Double Infographic Time

Infographic 1: I am not completely sure if this counts as an infographic, but it made me chuckle, so I thought it would be interesting to post. Let's be honest, a shower is just a giant, continuous toilet, so if you gotta go in the shower or you are about to take one, go ahead and go, because you are saving water, time, and helping the environment. One more tip though: DO NOT go number two.

Infographic 2: There is always the argument that being "green" and environmentally friendly is hard to do because of the costs of everything, but this infographic shows that by living a bit differently, you could save some green -- that's ambigious. I mean that you can save both the earth and money. You know. Because they are both green.

Whaling is a Big Issue

Whales play an important role in our environment. They greatly affect the food chain in the oceans, especially by consuming krill. A blue whale can consume 40 million krill a day, which has such a huge impact on our environment. Whales also emit large amounts of carbon, even rising up to 400,000 tons of carbon per year. If whales are being killed, the food chain will be threatened and changes in the food supply of other animals will come into effect. In 1986, a ban was set on whaling, which is the hunt of whales for meat and oil. Although this ban was set, almost 40,000 whales have been killed. They have been killed for “commercial sale.” The lives of whales are already being menaced by things such as pollution and ships disturbing their habitat, but the addition of whaling adds even more stress to these whales. The amount killed per year, 1,000, is sickening. Humans are, without a doubt, a whale’s biggest predator.
