What have you done to help the earth? Ninth thread!
In this thread, you can share stories from the past or present of how you did you're part to help out the earth. It can be anything, from recycling to planting a garden.
What have I done? Well, the best thing i''ve done for the earth is help clean up two miles of beach that was littered with garbage. I've also helped plant a few trees, and a garden in the community area of my subdivision |
Recycle, a lot! Seriously anything recyclable i generally...recycle XD And trust me it helps a ton to do that too! if only everyone would do it @_@
I also try to conserve energy, when i lived at my aunts house i would go around turning off TVs and lights that people just left on and didnt bother to shut off ALL THE TIME @_@ i finally trained them to start doing it themselves which is good because i dont live there anymore XD Also had a garden, and quite a big one at that! That my family used to do every summer :D always fun <3 |
Well that's cool. Conserving energy is always a good thing. My dad yells all the time about how we waste too much electricity. Finally, once my sisters moved out, we cut our bill down to 1/2 of what it was.

What you did is awesome. And i didn't know when earth day was until i saw the banners announcing this event. |
I helped create an Earth Day event. XD <3
And later today I'm gonna hug a tree! |
I used to live along the Ohio river and I'd help every year when they did a river sweep. You'd find some crazy stuff along those shores I tell you! We had to get a truck to haul out a safe once. It was an old one too. We were all going crazy wondering if it was from an old robbery. Found a rock encrusted gun and more old fashioned bottles then you can shake a stick at. Other then that I just plant. I love planting things! I have tons of flowers and have put out a garden or two in my lifetime.

Planting trees is fucking hard work. I did it a couple of years ago with this program and I was aching all over for a week.
As far as being green goes, I don't do anything now that I haven't done before. I only brush my teeth with the water that I need, air freshener can things actually make my nose burn (sensitive nose), recycling, gardening, etc. It's not a trend, it's just.. what my family does. |

@Nissa - That must've been interesting. Did you find really old bottles like from previous centuries? That'd be so cool. @Paprilka - What my sisters did is stay up ALL night with the light on, so light / electricity was running pretty much 24 - 7 in my house. She had a job that went from around 3 -11, so she was a major night owl. My other sister wasn't as bad. She only stayed up 'til around 2. |
I planted a garden ^^, it's really useful and yummy :). I'm in my school's enviromnental club and we raised $750 for buying acres of rainforests in Brazil, not bad for selling ozark lollipops ;)

I never really go out of my way to help the earth. I'm more for doing small things. I never litter, always put things in the recycle bin... I have trees around my house. They don't need any care and look pretty, so I just leave them there. I suppose that's helping the earth... somehow? I, um, once... cleaned up more litter than anyone else in primary school? I suppose? I feel really bad now. I suppose, what I do, is not intentionally cause the enviroment harm. *nods* |
