Tuesday, February 23, 2010 I have been thinking a lot about how I can help the world. I really want to make a difference. I have been educating myself about the endangered Orangutans and how the palm oil plantations in Indonesia are leading to the demise of their habitat and in turn the entire species. Loggers are cutting down the trees to harvest wood and then people are coming in and transforming the land into palm oil, soy bean oil, and coffee plantations. It’s sad because one statistic says that we have only 10 years before they become extinct. We need to do something about this. Palm oil is in many food products (even girl scout cookies). Important facts: Things you can do to help: We must save these humble creatures of our earth. Let’s make a difference.
Friday, February 12, 2010 After Snowzilla and SnowKong swept through the Washington DC area I have started to question global warming. But who cares about global warming? Polluting is bad anyways. Why do we need a reason like global warming to convince ourselves not to pollute? Smoke in the air causes air pollution which makes it harder to breathe for us and all the creatures on this planet. It's common sense that we should try to limit all types of pollution whether the world is warming or not. Inaction because our leaders have to bicker about whether the world is warming or cooling is not the way to go. Farewell,
