In the wild where they belong

There ARE ways to see these beautiful animals up close and in person and that is in the WILD where they BELONG! Not in a tiny aquarium where they are enslaved and exploited for human “entertainment” and greed.
Next time you think about supporting Sea World or any type of aquarium/amusement park that holds large mammals like these in captive, think about what you are really contributing to….

FACT: Whales live 25-35 years in a captive environment but they live 85-100 years in the wild, in their NATURAL habitat. ♥

At times recycling can be difficult because you might not know what you can and cannot recycle. What has really helped us to recycle more often is looking for the logo on something, just like when you identify the Nike logo or the Apple logo.  Most of the time you can find the recycle logo on the bottom of an item, and if you still aren’t sure check out the website below.  Every little thing you do to help recycle DEFINITELY helps the environment in a huge way, so start making that change today and become eco friendly to save this earth!

Save our Rainforests!

Our rainforests are being cut down every minute of every day and we need to put a stop to it!  A large amount of species living in the rainforest are being driven in to extinction.  If we continue to tear down the rainforest  many animals, that people travel to see from all over the world, will be nothing but a memory.  Not only is the rainforest home to 50-70 percent of all life forms on our planet but it also provides many resources from oxygen, medicinal products, fresh drinking water  and much more.  Rainforests are the most productive and most complex ecosystems on Earth.  This planet needs rainforests to exist and it is up to this generation and the generations to come to save them!

Here are some ways that you can contribute to saving our rainforests: http://www.savetherainforest.org/savetherainforest_002.htm

Get with the program

It’s the new trend to bring your reusable bag with you to the grocery store or even a department store. Everyone needs to really get with the program and stop using paper and plastic, its harmful to our earth!

Did you know that plastic bags are the second most common trash item found on beaches, and contribute to the giant floating garbage patch in the Pacific?  A  reusable bag has the potential to replace over 600 single-use plastic bags over its lifetime, so what is stopping you from bringing yours along? There is actually a few places that even give discounts or prizes for using one at check out, like Trader Joes, Target, CVS pharmacy, Whole Foods and Kroger!

Paper bags are not the better choice, it takes 14 million trees each year in the United States to produce a year’s supply of paper bags for retail use.  “One acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen.” —U.S. Department of Agriculture  

Reusable bags reduce litter and conserve natural resources so next time say NO to paper or plastic ❤
