Philippines: Take A Tour!

Project

We could plant more trees to create more oxygen to keep the bad air away from the atmosphere, or we could just stop cutting down the rainforest. We are living and we need the space but we aren't the only species on this earth. Saving the rainforest is not only good for us and the atmosphere but also good for the many different species that it homes.

It would begin with some simple things that make a huge difference but won’t cause you distress or damage your pocketbook. In fact, these suggestions will save you money. If you aren’t doing so already, save our planet by:

• Minding Your Water Usage: You learned when you were a kid to turn off your water when you’re brushing your teeth, but are you really doing so? Did you know that if you aren’t, you’re wasting five gallons of water per day, and if your toilet is leaking, you’re wasting 20 gallons of water per day? Turn off the faucet when you brush, and fix your leaky toilets. Buying the toilet innards at your local hardware store costs much less than hiring a plumber.

• Avoiding Plastic: The bottled water you consume every day is an environmental nightmare. Not only does manufacturing the water bottles take 1.5 billion barrels of oil annually, but it also unleashes greenhouse gasses, as do the empty bottles as they pile up in landfills.

• Recycling: Did you know that recycling one soda can saves enough energy to run your television for three hours? Using recycled paper.

•  

We could try to get as many people as possible to switch to hybrids and other energy saving things to use less fossil fuel for energy and relying more on solar and wind energy. Fossil fuels are destroying our earth and we need to limit the use of it.Recycling is a great and easy way to help our precious planet. Everyone can help, all they have to do is follow three simple rules; Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!The world is precious and we need to keep it that way.
