Yes, This Is Real.

Please take some of your time to watch this amazing video.

We need to take responsibility and do something, anything! Even just a little thing can help!

Please help our Earth, the wonderful planet God gave us to take care of.

Here are some ways we can do so:
Using less water. (Taking showers rather than baths. Not letting water run when you're not using it.)
Using biodegradable soaps and detergents.
Recycling as much as possible. (Making recycled paper takes less energy and making aluminum from used cans takes only 5% of the energy to make new cans).
Avoiding plastic and styrofoam disposable plates, cups and utensils.
Using rechargable batteries.
Using scrap paper.
Making cards yourself by using what is available in your house (and by using your creativity!) instead of buying them at the store.
Buying used good at junk yards, thrift stores, garage/yard sales.
Insulating windows in the winter time and wearing a sweater rather than turning up the thermostat.
Driving less and walking/cycling/carpooling/using public transportation more.
Using energy-efficient appliances (and taking care of them so they'll last longer!).
Not littering.
Turning off lights and appliances when not in use.
Hanging your clothes in the sun to dry.
Avoiding highly processed foods.
Supporting food co-ops and farmer's markets.
Buying foods grown or produced locally.
Being creative with leftover food.
Trying to eat less meat or buying grass-fed beef and other organic meat and buying dairy products that come from pasture-fed dairy cattle.
Buying and consuming less things that we don't really need.

Let's better educate ourselves and teach others.

We can do this.

Yes, it's in our hands. We have to change our mentality and stop focusin only in our comfort. But I agree with you, every little thing counts and even if others don't care, I'll.
