9 benefits of recycling | Friends of the Earth - 4 views

  •  
    This article states the benefits of recycling. Although this isn't quite directed into laying directly into an issue, it's laying out the foundation on how to prevent future issues. The Earth is currently unsustainable for how much waste the human population creates right now, and one large way to help reduce one's footprint on Earth is to use bio products, and recycle.

    Recycling is a huge thing right now that everyone needs to start doing if we want to save the world. I wish more people would hop on board and realize how much danger the earth is in.
  •  
    I think this website is great because it's well organized and it explains the benefits in a good way
  •  
    Everyone should recycle! Not only as a "save our planet" kind of rant but to save ourselves as well. Don't you want to live in a clean environment. These 9 benefits should open your eyes.
  •  
    I agree that recycling is very important because when trash covers the ground, it takes away from the beauty of the earth. We need to take better care of this planet because when we do we also take better care of ourselves.

    This is a neat article as I did not know many of these things. It's awesome that more and more people are getting behind this save the earth movement.

    I agree that many people downplay the severity of environmental matters like this one. Something has to be done about climate change immediately.
  •  
    I agree with this article and how it shows humanity has been messing up the ice sheets for awhile now. Also very interesting to learn that the ice sheet could recover itself in a short time but we continue to "warm" the water.
  •  
    Not just Greenland, though Greenland is certainly the most apparent in proximity to Earth. While yes, humanity is rushing the process, the Earth naturally goes through the heating and cooling patterns that cause the ocean to rise and fall and glaciers to retreat and refreeze.

Is climate change real, and is the world actually getting warmer? - 2 views

  •  
    This article talks about the facts and myths in relation to global warming. It is proven that the earth is steadily getting hotter. It also talks about how some think we as humans are causing Our own demise and heading for the end and how some think there may eventually be a small group of survivors
  •  
    Arrhenius's theory being proven today is a very scary thing. It's inevitable that we will reach 1.5c tons, but how do we change our ways so drastically to stop is from reaching 2c tons? I propose we become aware of how much we consume and how what we consume is slowly taking its toll on our atmosphere.
  •  
    Great site and lots of good information on a huge topic in the political arena these days.

    How is sea levels rising a social injustice?
  •  
    Sea levels itself is not a social injustice, but climate change is. Sea levels are a result of climate change. This is a informative article on how are earth is changing as a result of climate change.
  •  
    Not sea level, but how it connects to the climate change is a social justice issue.

    Scientists predict the future effects of climate change according reports. Temperatures will continue to increase, and seasons will lengthen. There will be more frequent extreme weather and a rise in sea level.
  •  
    Climate change is too often ignored, I'm glad that NASA has ongoing updates about the situation. More people should be accessing this site in order to educate themselves.
  •  
    This is a great article it is also important to know that if we don't get on track it could be too late to reverse the damage. Also how deserts would become even worse wastelands and the weather would be too extreme on earth to be inhabitable.
  •  
    Using NASA as a source for climate change is great. This is a great web source for being able to quickly see what scientists are saying in active research.
  •  
    I found this article to be very informative on the effects of climate change. I was not aware that hurricanes would become worse and growing seasons increase.

    Climate change is bigger than us, and very few realize that. We need to take action in order to save the earth! Climate change is affecting countries all over.
  •  
    I agree that climate change is a severe issue in today's world. Methods on reduction of contamination such as carbon dioxide and methane being released into our environment need to be enforced since pollutants like these play a huge factor in climate change.
  •  
    Human activity, especially greenhouse gas emissions, is considered the dominant cause of temperature increases.
