Keeping America beautiful doesn't have to be a daunting task for us. While our government debates with other governments of the causes of global warming and climate change, i figure there are things i can do at home to help the cause. The term "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" often comes to my head as an environmentally aware consumer. It may seem small, but if we all practice the three "R's" we can all have a major impact of the garbage produced. Most end up in man made landfills or get burned, releasing toxic gasses into our atmosphere, further increasing the greenhouses and causing further warming of our planet. I found some great tips on how to keep America beautiful. Some small but very significant ways to contribute are:
1) Plant a tree or coordinate a clean-up event in your community! This is a great way to get our community active and educated on the issues of global warming.
2) Re-use material such as paper grocery bags and avoid plastics! For some reason they end up in our oceans killing marine life or in our beaches as unsightful waste.
