Recycling is Awsome!

In this world, there are things we need and things we want. For example, something we need is food and water, and something you want would be a game or candy.

Can you guess where all this STUFF comes from? It comes from NATURE! In fact, pretty much everything comes from nature. Since everything comes from nature, then it must harm the environment when we buy something like a cell phone or paper ... DUH!

So why don't you start recycling your supplies and remember the next time you decide to buy a new cellphone What are you going to do with your old phone? I know — you can recycle it just like this fellow is doing with all this plastic. (Read Julien G.'s post about recycling plastic and other things in San Francisco's blue bins.)

Obama's Decision to Meet at Copenhagen

On December 7th and on December 18th 2009, 65 of the world's leaders, including President Obama, will meet at the United Nations Climate Change Conferences at the Bella Center of Copenhagen, Denmark. These conferences are also referenced as COP15 (15th Conference of the Parties), the United Nations Framework Convention, or as COP/MOP5 (5th Meeting of the Parties of the Kyoto Protocol).

When our president meets at this climate change summit, he will set a goal for greenhouse gas reduction for the United States. By 2030, we will cut emissions by 42%, by 2050, 83%. Many politicians, American and international leaders alike, are very pleased with Obama's decision to join other world leaders at Copenhagen.
