Green Challenge

Paper or Plastic? Take the Canvas Challenge! 100 billion disposable shopping bags are consumed every year in the US. This is 200,000 bags per minute, or about 60 plastic bags in only four trips to the grocery store for the average family. And of all those plastic bags, only 1% is recycled, while the remaining 99% pollute the environment, and harm wildlife when animals mistake them for food.

Did You Know?

 

The best way to reduce climate pollution and global warming is to stop deforestation. 

According to the New York Times, deforestation causes nearly 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of the world's entire transport sector. Indonesia and Brazil are, respectively, the world's third- and fourth-largest emitting nations. In Brazil, deforestation is responsible for 70 percent of emissions.

No Trash Left Behind Challenge E-mail

Take the No Trash Left Behind Challenge!

Next time you walk down the street, on the beach, in the woods, or through a park, and you see some trash lying around: pick it up, and dispose of it properly. This truly is a challenge because it is not our trash, so we view it as dirtier and since we didn’t put that trash there, we view ourselves as not responsible for it. The ones who left their plastic bags behind, or their soda cans or their food packaging should be the ones picking it up. Well yes, but no. We need to be responsible for the ones who aren’t, until they can. It is our planet, our environment, and by picking up the trash that pollutes nature, not only will we ensure that birds and other wild animals don’t eat our trash, but we will also emulate other people to do the same.

Click here to see how much trash was found in the stomach of an albatross. Disturbing.
