so what is the best way to help the environment? You can recycle, buy recycled goods, carpool, or even buy eco-friendly appliances/cars.
But what do you do if your not in a position where you can grab a ride to work or your community doesn't recycle or better yet your broke?
EAT MORE CARROTS! and eat less meat.
The water needed to package and cook meat along with the methane produced from raising animals for food is a major problem for our environment. And you'll find that you have more options than you think! (it's also a cheaper)
now this is a video is from one of those gentleman talk shows about politics, and he's calling Al Gore a hypocrite for not becoming a vegetarian but if you can get passed all that the PETA gentleman has some great information about vegetarianism and the benefits that come with the lifestyle.
Now i'm not expecting anyone to just stop eating meat and become a full vegetarian right now, but maybe having a meal without meat isn't so hard.
Or if your dead set on helping the environment in this way the best thing you can do is become a Vegan, one who doesn't eat any animal products - i.e. meat, milk, cheese, cream, eggs, etc.
Whatever you do just think about it beforehand and get as much information on your diet as possible!

Even A Kid Could Do It!
And they are! The Kiwi Conservation Club (KCC) of New Zealand is a project started by the largest conservation organization
in New Zealand, The Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society - http://www.forestandbird.org.nz/ They sell the KCC magazine, which focuses on children learning about their environment and how to keep it safe. Something really unique i liked about this magazine is that it incorporates readers/members drawings in their magazine!
Even if you don't live in New Zealand the website is worth checking out. It has a neat questionnaire to see if you are doing all you can to help save the world! Also really great activities like coloring pages and a Nature quiz.

The Kiwi Conservation Club Code:
I will LOVE and CARE for my Natural World
- the native plants and animals,
and places where they live.
I CAN make a Difference!

give it a thought . . .
there's always the question posed with is Global Warming really happening?
or are we just going though a normal cycle of weather?
i mean if you pay a scientist enough he/she can prove anything is good for you or our world.
WELL, no matter what your stance is theres always the posed threat what if i'm wrong what if WE'RE wrong . . .
well let's think about it from a mathematical stance . . . .
interesting huh? THINK.
