Introduction

I guess when you saw this blog you've thought: Oh man, one more of those enviromentalists....
Well, I used to thought like this since the time I saw how our planet was devasted, and how is easy to us to change this situation. No, you don't need to join an ONG, you can help in you house.
I guess I don't need to explain what is hapening with the Earth, conscience all we have, we need action. But I'll show you a part of a reportment.



Going to a ambiental collapse


A study realized for a wish of the general-secretary of [...]ONU, Kofi Annan, alert that the planet run the risk to suffer a amgiental collapse in this century if energetic measurementes don't be taken to change the actual destruction of the naturals resource. The study shows [...] that about 60% of all of the ecossitems of the world are degraded or being used by a not resistant mode (in portuguese: modo sustentavel), that means to provoke a ambiental collapse in a period of 50 years.[...]The perspectives to the future are parlous, warned the traccers, emphasizing that the destruction of 15 of the 24 ecossistems of the world will cause the surgiment of new illness, scarcity of whater, fishing and the apparition of dead zones in the litoral.

I could show you the details of this destruction can do, maybe later. Now I'll show you what you can do to help the world, believe, it's easy, the base is change the habists.
No you don't need to be a vegetarian, to take a shower twice a week, stop using your lights, it's nothing like this. Do you know that if you turn off the shower by 5 minutes, until you are lathering your body, save 80L of water? That if everyone in Brasil plant one tree each year, will be 190 million tree each year, if all the world do, will be 6,5 billion of tree each year? That to make 1kg of meat, need 200L of water, and to make 1kg of chicken, only needs 10L of water?
Those are some of our habits, save the water, 15 minutes of a turning on shower soup 243L of water. Don't eat many meat, twice a week, this can help you to see new kinds of food. Reserve a part of your house to plant vegetation, this help the rain's water to not make a flood. Recycle the trash, just to separete the recyclable trash of the unrecuclable it's good. Don't trown the trash in the lakes, the city, this is obvious. Stop the not necessary consumism, if you keep buying, the traders will keep the production more and more and the destruction of the natural recourses will be worth and worth; of course I'm not saying to stop buying things like, computers and video games; if you really need it, to just enjoy, buy it; I'm sayink like, if you have just buyed a PS2, than appears the PS3, you don't need to buy it, do you?
Don't think: Won't help anything just I help the world. It's because of this thought that the world don't chance like it need. If you do, be certain that someone else will do to, will come a time that everyone will do it, maybe we can save ours selfs, because if we keep like this, the humans will die.
"The humans are the most inteligents of the world, they are so inteligent, that they are the ones who destruct your own house."
Where is the highier inteligent?

Dear Gabriel,
You are right when you say we can start saving and protecting our planeta form inside our homes. There are somany littles things we could start doing which would help our planet become a better place. It is a good idea to get in touch with Fernando. He is also writing about your topic and I believe you both could exchange ideas. His blog is under Ana Maria's group on our pageflakes www.pageflakes.com/anamriacult

hi Gabriel,

I agree with almost evrything that you said, abaut the vegetarianism saving from global warming, need more studies.

Abaut the litte things to save the word, you are right, we can`t make USA sining Kyoto, but we can not buy from the USA companys, which don`t have a enviromental project.

Altough it isn't nice to bring all the resposabilitty to US.

Ass: felipe.
