Statistics, cool facts...

Hello viewers, I just wanted to show you some interesting facts:

- The USA and china are the biggest contributors to global warming.
- An average USA citizen emits about 20 tons of garbage, which is about 5 times more than the Earth's average of 4 tons per person.
- Americans use 50 million tons of paper, cutting down about 850 million trees
- By turning down your thermostat in your house by 1 degree, fuel consumption is cut by as much as 10%
- Every ton of recycled paper saves about 380 gallons of fuel.
- 40,000 children are killed because of diseases that were created by air and garbage pollution.
- Every day, 40-80 plants and animals (many are micro-organisms) become extinct because of human influences such as pollution.

That's all I have for you today, thanks for reading!

Home Sweet Home!

Take a moment to just think about your home. You know, the shelter in which you live in, the shelter which is warm and dry. Now imagine losing your home. You would feel angry and sad. Maybe that's how animal's feel when we cut down their homes! Humans don't even think twice before they cut down forests, and other types of lands such as tundra's, polar ice caps, grasslands and wetlands! But we can do something about it. Earth rangers are trying to protect the wild spaces that animals need to survive. Environmentalists are constantly working on ways to preserve the environment. So what can you do? You guys are certain to find something!

Acid Rain :(

Hello guys, I just wanted to show-and-tell you guys something really important. I am not sure you have heard of it but it is called acid rain. (Ugh, imagine taking a shower in it!) Acid rain is created when moisture from pollution such as moisture from smoke and carbon dioxide mixes with the air. So when it all evaporates, it finally falls down as acid rain. So again, humans are to blame (what a coincidence :p) But it get's worse! Acid rain is harmful to plants and wildlife, and it sometimes flows to water bodies like lakes, seas and oceans and then it mixes with the cycle of the water body. So if acid rain falls on one country, or even one city, the acid can spread on my water, and the gases can also be carried away my wind! So guys, if you stop polluting, we can have fresh rain and we don't have to worry about acid in the water that we drink! Thank you for your kind attention!
