Phoebe is a phoenix that helps us reduce, reuse, recycle, and compost. She helps us by teaching to reduce, reuse, recycle, and compost. By carefully dumping our trash to the recycling bin, trash can, and the compost box. We recycle our paper, plastic bottle, and plastic container. We can dump our food scrape, dirty napkins, and dirty cardboard tray. We can dump our trash into the trash can.
SF Dump made a reindeer out of trash. I like this because they use reuse trash to make this.
Above is Phoebe the phoenix. She is the mascot to SF Recycle.
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.
