The 11th Hour time is running out
I was on a DVD crave yesterday with my classes. I used this movie at Multicultural Village-Cumaca to teach "Too Hot to Handle" and it was a hit with the youth. Most of my college students come form Urban communities and so NO connection between themselves and the environment. After seeing the DVD many were scared shitless. Good. If every time we go to throw away a plastic bottle or leave a light on when we shouldn't and we think we are committing SUICIDE then we may change our CRAZY ways.
One of the great ideas the DVD shares is that we cannot "SAVE THE PLANET" earth will always be here. Whatg we need to do is "SAVE OURSELVES"! We cannot live on a planet that is 250 degrees celsius that rains sulphuric acid so we need to save ourselves and do some simple easy things.
There are 10 things we can do to "SAVE OUR LIVES"
- Change a bulb from regular to compact florescent
- Drive less God knows its good for our fat butts
- Recycles more...don't fill the land fills with more nasty junk that is not biodegradable
- Check our tires to improve gas milage and dump less CO2 into the atmosphere
- Use less Hot Water..Kidane please take shorter hot showers
- Avoid products with lots and lots and lots of packaging...it cuts down on garbage
- plant a tree, it will help to absorb CO2
- turn off electronic devices when not in use. This isn't only for the airplane you know, shut off the TV, Radio and unplug the Cell Phone charger why use energy when we don't need to
- Adjust your thermostat...put on a sweater or if too hot put on a tank top
- Be the solution and change you wish to see
Not hard to do.
In Peace,
DMC
