CFL Light Bulbs!

If half a million people recycled five plastic containers, enough energy would be saved to power a CFL light bulb for 6,849 years. That is a long time.
As Energy star says CFLs meet there "strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency". ENERGY STAR deliver exceptional features, while using less energy. Saving energy helps you save money and protect the environment as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the fight against climate change.

How CFLs are good

They can help save more than $4o in one bulbs life time.

Uses about 75% less energy

Last up to 10 times longer

Makes about 75% less heat, which is safer to operate

CapriSun!!!!!

Fore About a year now i have been saving all the empty Capri Suns pouch that i can! I plane to make bags to be used as gift bags for Christmas and Birthdays. The one i have in the picture i use as a purse. Its kinda cute and people are all ways saying how much they like it and how they want one. I got the idea at a craft show. The best part is the pouches are kept out of the landfills.

Capri Sun also has a option on how to recycle Capri Sun pouches, The solo gin is "Turn Used Drink Pouches into Money for your School.
Step 1) Establish a Drink Pouch Brigade at your school. Sign up at www.caprisun.com/treeacycle
Step 2) Earn $.02 per donated pouch. That equals $.20 inside each box for a school.

Chane Afect!

Not recycling is a chain affect on the earth. We throw out garbage and among the bags is many things that can be recycle, but we still send or bring them to the dump. Most of the time trash is brought to the landfills. Land fills are bad in many ways. When it rains the water goes down throw the soil and into the water table of the earth. the problem is this soil the water is going throw is landfills. The water that is in the water table is suppose to be clean, but after going throw land fills is polluted. Other times our trash gets burned. The problem with burning our trash is toxins are released into the air.

The problem with humans is we don't fix our problems till its to late!

Not Just one thing will save the world!

After researching for a will i relies very quickly that recycling will not save the planet let alone save us. Recycling can be bad for the environment in the fact that sometimes it takes more resources to recycle somethings than it does to make new. Also there is way many other ways humans are killing the planet. Recycling alone will not save or stop the Greenhouse Effect, the ozone layer diminishing, Hazardous waste, populations of water, the energy as well as many many more things.

What will help and save the world is REUSING, REDUCING along with RECYCLING
