Earth Update: Meat

Hello everyone, now I know I have not done an earth update in a while but I'm going to try to get back in the habit. Anyway, I read this article recently and it seriously changed my life, or at least the way I look at things. I'd really appreciate it if you guys would click the link below and at least skim the article.

Is your lunch causing global warming?

Here's my brief recap: eating meat is a massive cause of global warming and one that we can seriously control with ease! You can't just give up your car, but you can cut down on meat consumption. Please please spread the word!!! Thank you everybody and have an earthy day.

Earth Update: Laundry

Laundry is something that you have to do all the time so why not make it green?  Normal laundry detergent is made through a very energy-intense process. How intense? Umm let's just say that about one POUND of greenhouse gasses are produced for every little ounce of detergent!! Greenhouse gasses hugely contribute to global warming. Two brands called Method and Mrs. Meyer's make detergent that is much more friendly to the earth.  If you can't find those, just look for petroleum and phthalate free detergents.

Until later have an "earthy" day!!

Earth Update: Ocean Warming

I recently visited the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. It was an amazing experience and I brought back a few facts about the environment. Listen to this:

"Global Warming should be called ocean warming as more than 80% of the added heat resides in the ocean." -California Academy of Sciences

Wow, I have never thought about it that way before. No wonder so much of the world's ice is melting. I will be back soon to update about more ways to help. Until then, feel free to research about it, tell your friends, and contact me! 

One more thing, the movie Earth has come out today! It looks amazing and here's the best part. Disney will plant a tree for every ticket bought on opening week! Good deal, I'll be there and hopefully, you will too!

Oh, I forgot to say Happy Earth Day!!
