What Is Really More Important?

In my last post I talked about cheaper ways to help with the environment. I mentioned composting and recycling. In this post I am going to address the harm that will come if you do not recycle and the benefits from recycling. According to http://environment-green.com/, "By recycling1 plastic bottle not only saves anywhere from 100 to 1000 years in the landfill but also saves the environment from the emissions in producing new bottles as well as the oil used to produce that bottle." This an astonishing fact and should encourage someone to recycle themselves and make a difference. Landfills are starting to consume more land every day. The United States will not be able to keep putting so much trash in a landfill. They will have to keep building more to have somewhere to put all of our trash. Think of your own lifestyle and look at the things you can change. Everyone can make a difference if they just try. So we should ask ourselves, "what is really more important?"

Saving the planet is not based on buying the more expensive products that claim to be eco-friendly. The little things we do on a daily basis all add up to a bigger problem. A fact from the Environmental Protection Agency found that around eightty percent of American's "garbage" is recyclable. This is simply not acceptable. I recycle at my home. I understand what it takes to keep up recycling. It does not take much time or aggravation to do so. There are places to recycle in just about every city. Even if you do not want to take your own recycling, in some cities they provide a curbside recycling which is similar to that of picking up garbage. You simply leave a binon your curb along side your garbage and it is picked up straight from your home. For more information on how to make this possible and check your cities' availability, click on this link http://www.therecyclingcenter.info/recyclefromhome.html. Another wayto get rid of unecessary waste in your trash is to sort it for what can naturally decompose. A easy way to take care of your decomposable trash is a compost. Making a compost is very simple and easy to maintain, steps to making a compost are easy to follow. Everyone is capable of making their own compost.By taking these few little steps our world could be better off and face it. you know you would feel better knowing you are doing a good thing for the environment.

This planet is an amazing thing. We have everything we need to make life an enjoyable experience. The way people treat the earth is not representing a respect for the earth. We should appreciate the earth and everything it provides for us. Instead of taking care of our planet and taking time out of our own schedules to help slow down the dangerous toll we are taking on the earth, people just go on and completely ignore the signs. As everyday goes by we slowly take away from the earth. We are not considerate of the earth and how we constantly deplete our natural resources. The earth is screaming out for our help and attention but we constantly ignore it. The warning signs are clear when we take a look around and see how much we could do to prevent the possibly fatal outcome. According to the Environmental Defense organization, vehicles from the United States produce 314 tons of CO2 every year. Little things that we do everyday such as driving to work, throwing away a plastic bottle, and lawn care can make a big difference in the long run. In America, we spend around $25 billion dollars on our lawns in a year. We use chemicals and pesticides that are dangerous to our air to take care of our yards. It seems rather silly to do this when there are more important things to care about. People in third world countries barely have money to eat while we can spend $25 billion on our yards. It’s really sad that by some people lacking consideration for the earth that everyone has to suffer for it. We have built ourselves a spiral of bad behavior and the only thing that can stop the cycle is the world as a whole.
