Do something wonderful for the planet today. Pick up trash. Turn off the electricity for an hour. Or try one of the main ways our author, Bonnie J. Doerr has compiled to help save the environment. She made a list of 25 suggestions. We'll post them a list next week when you find out more about Bonnie. In the meantime, here are two quick suggestions you can try:
1. Downloading music saves production of the greenhouse gas produced during the making, packaging, and distribution of the discs UNLESS you burn a CD.
2. Americans eat at least four servings of beef a week. If you consume only one less beef meal a week you can reduce your environmental footprint by 25%. Why care? Raising cows requires acres of land, tons of water, grain, and pesticides. And cows produce a staggering amount of methane (yes, through belching and “tooting”), thus contributing to global warming.
Stay tuned for more environmentally friendly ideas or visit Ms. Doerr at
Bonnie Blogs Green for more ways to save the planet. Better yet, pick up a copy of her book
Island Sting to see how other green teens not only save the environment, but also nab the poacher of the endangered Key deer.
DANGER--INTRIGUE--ADVENTURE...
