Every month we will be featuring a different charity.  This month we chose Greenpeace as we are all very much concerned about the future of our planet and how this will affect our children and our children’s children.

Greenpeace

“Greenpeace exists because this earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action.”  www.greenpeace.org/international/about

We couldn’t agree more, our earth deserves a voice.  We have so many concerns these days such as climate change, destructive fishing, the depletion of our forests, nuclear weapons, hazardous chemicals and more.

What can we do to save our planet from these urgent and serious problems?  It has to start with ourselves.  We have to be responsible and change the way we do things in our day-to-day lives.

Here are a few ideas we can start with:

- Take a shower instead of a bath:  Showers take up four times less energy.

- Make sure you recycle:  This can save 2 400 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

- Try car-pooling or telecommuting.

- Plant a tree:  One tree absorbs one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

- Buy locally grown and produced foods:  This will help save fuel.

On top of making important changes in our daily routine, let’s make supporting Greenpeace another priority.  They are globally campaigning to help change attitudes and behaviours for energy revolution, to defend our oceans, protect our forests, work for disarmament and peace, create toxic free futures, support sustainable agriculture and more.
