Endangered Species

Around 40% of all the species on our planet are endangered. This is mainly due to the effects of humans, such as global warming, deforestation and hunting. About 2 years I developed an extraordinary passion for whales and this passion has been growing ever since.
Whilst studying about whales I also discovered that they are one of the 40% of species which are endangered. Some whales, dolphins and porpoises are now so endangered that they could be extinct in only 10 short years. Human beings have been causing the greatest mass extinction of species since the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Years and years ago, over 30,000 blue whales swam the oceans of our planet but know less than 3% of that number remains!!!!
That's why I like Greenpeace. Greenpeace specialises in helping animals whose habitats are oceans and ancient forests. If you want to make a difference and help save some of the endangered species on our planet, then you can, today. You could become a member of Greenpeace and help raise money for endangered animals. You could also the join the WDCS and adopt a whale or dolphin.
I have adopted a polar bear from Greenpeace and a Whale from the WDCS. Adopting does not mean that the animal comes and lives in your house!! It means you donate a bit of money towards it every month and you get updates on how your animal is doing. I hope reading this has made you realise how important it is to play your part in helping to save the endangered species of the world. If not, here is a video which might.

4. Trees are also a big problem. We are rapidly running out of them because unfortunately not only do we use them to live but we also use them for natural resources like paper, which is in a lot of things.

I know a lot of you people at home may not cut down trees yourself but you can make small differences by using less paper for example and use both sides. Remember our motto

MANY SMALL THINGS CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

So if we all reuse paper who know what we are capable of changing.

3. Electricity. We use up a lot of electricity every day but really we don't need it. As well as veggie week you could also try one day a week where you use no electricity. Why not just give it a try or if that's too much you could try cutting down on electricity. Think of it as a diet, like cutting down on chocolate. Life is one big diet!

What's This Blog About?

This Blog is for EVERYONE!
I think that one of the most important issues today is they way we are living.
Our lifestyle is very important to us but slowly and gradually, and without realising, we are destroying the planet we are living on. Most people as soon as they read this will mutter to themselves, "what nonsense", and log off immediately. But it is scientifically known as true.
But the big question is:
WHAT CAN WE DO?
