Go Green: A list of how to start...

I'm pretty sure just about everyone is sick of the heat. It's October. We're all getting ready for Halloween. Leaves are supposed to be changing, and it's supposed to be cloudy and crisp out. As we all know, that's just not happening.

What's sad is that so many people are in denial as to why it's like this. For everyone out there saying "global warming is a myth" (god I've heard that so much lately), do you really fucking think so? I mean come on! Polar animals are endangered because their homes are literally melting. People are suffering from heat, which is assisting in the quickness of our evaporating water. Can't you feel yourselves becoming lethargic because you're just too damn hot to do anything?

Please everyone, for the sake of our Earth, just do one thing each. One small change that can fit into your day without altering your lifestyle will helo more than you may think. Simple things like:

-shutting off the water when nothing is beneath the facet
-shortening shower time
-adding a recyclables trash can to your kitchen for all recyclable wastes
-use mugs instead of disposable paper cups
-turning off unnecessary lights
-unplugging appliances (toasters, microwaves, coffee pots, tvs, etc.) when they're not in use
-walking (or biking if you have one) to nearby destinations instead of drive
-hanging laundry out to dry
-using energy saving lightbulbs
-turning down the thermostat
-only filling up tea kettles and coffee pots with the amount of water you need
-planting something
-being organic for one day a week
-taking public transportation whenever convienent
-stop littering...throw your gum in the trash...not under a table or chair or on the ground
-saving water...it can be fun...take a bath with someone you love
-declining plastic bags, even paper ones, use the resusable totes that are sold for 99 cents at the front of the line; you may even have one already that wasn't purchased from a supermarket
-insulating your water heater

The list of how to help the enviornment and fight these climate issues goes on and on and on. Just one change, big or small, from everyone will help everyone. Surely something on this list can be incorporated into your life. Fight off global warming, and save the animals that are still left in the melting ice regions of the world. It's not to late, and THERE IS something you can do.
