This is a good example of why deforestation is bad for the environment.

LED (CFL) lightbulbs

Hey evryone! I thought I would do another eco fact.So any ways have you heard of Led (a.k.a cfls)
lights they last a lot longer than normal lightbulbs,have no mercurey in them, and ae better for the enviornment.yes, they do cost a bit more but you will have to buy less since they last longer than the ordianry bulb.I use them and I think they work great!

I hope you switch to CFLs,
Poodle.

Wolves in Grave Danger

I was reading a blog called 'Howling for Justice" and it was about wolves and the horrible way humans are treating them.One post was a memorial for the 540 wolves who have been killed.One of the comments said there should be more memorials for the helpless wolves that were murdered be humans.So here it is.On the blog, there was a picture of a year old wolf that had been killed.

I hope you look at this site and help the wolves somehow.I am going to donate to an orginization that is focusing on wolves in honor of all those murdered wolves.

Quotes about the enviorment

I was looking at one of my enviornmental books and looked at some quotes


"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"   -Mahatama Gandhi


"How to be green?...it's really very simple and requires no expert knowledge or complex skills.
Here's the answer.Consume less.Share more.Enjoy life."    -Dr.Derek Wall

Here is my favorite (it is funny to think about how long ago he thought of this and we only figured it out now)

"I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy.What a source of power!I hope we don't have to wait 'til oil and coal run out to tackle that!"      -  THOMAS EDISON


One more,



if you want one year of prosperity, plant corn.
if you want ten years of prosperity, plant trees.
if you want a hundred years of prosperity,   
educate people.                                                   Chinese proverb.  



I also really like that one.


well, that's all for today folks,

Wolves (about time)

 It is about time I wrote about wolves 


I love wolves (well,duh). They are really awesome animals with an undeserved bad reputation. Did you know that the Eskimos respected wolves? But most others thought that the wolves howl was creepy and eerie. Seeing  their big teeth and sharp claws also scared people .Many stories were made with wolves as the bad guy. The things is ,wolves avoid humans at all costs! Plus, dogs evolve from wolves so why are we so scared of them???When people came from Europe to North America they killed tons of buffalo, deer, and elk which are prey of the wolves so wolves ate farmers cattle and sheep .So then there became bounties for wolves !You could get money for killing them! Now there are only 5000 Gray wolves in the USA. There are 100 red wolves in the USA. Now people are hunting wolves again.400 wolves, almost half of Idaho’s population were killed. Some Organizations like Defenders of Wildlife, are working to save the wolf by putting trackers on wolves so farmers know when they are near, putting things that deter wolves near cattle, buying guard dogs and range riders to protect the cattle, and providing farmers with food to feed their cattle so they stay farther away from wolves. Recently there has been an anti-wolf proposal created by wolf haters in Wyoming that says people can kill wolves on site including pregnant females and cubs! I can’t believe U.S. fish and wildlife directors have given in to this outrageous act.

Solar panels (earth fact)

Hey everyone!I was reading a book called recycle this book and, it had a page or to on solar panels.The book was a bunch of children's authors telling you how to be enviormentally friendly.i don't remember which author wrote about solar panels but anyways they bought one even though it cost alot.They were very happy once she got it and got to watch there electricity meter go backwards!The electric company had to PAY her and her husband!!!!They were very happy with theirs and i hope this encourages you to get one to. I know that they cost alot but the more people who buy them the less $$$$ they will cost!Plus don't you think solar panels have many advantages?

Earth fact: earth hour

Hey everyone sorry I didn't post anything for the last two days I was very busy .So anyways,I was surfing the web and found a story on msnbc about earth hour.You know how on earth hour we are all suppose to turn off our lights?? Well now some people want to do "human achievement hour" instead.HAH is were you turn ON the lights and watch a movie and celebrate human achievement.i will make a poll to see which you would rather do.
