Recycling

Every one of us produces garbage. We throw things away and do not even think about what will happen to them. Obviously, it is not good for our planet and life on it. When we litter we do not usually think how long does it take to decompose for example a plastic bottle or a newspaper.  A bottle decomposes about 450 years, for a glass one is one million years, a tin can needs 50 years, and newspaper-6 weeks. Organic things, like fruit peels, decompose 2 to 5 weeks. The non-organic things that I mentioned can lay on beaches, in woods, or anywhere else for years and years. To stop that we should immediately start to recycle. Recycling means that we can use materials from products that are already used and make something new from it. Even But recycling does not only mean to trow glass to the green bin, plastic to the yellow one and paper to the blue one. We should also buy rechargeable batteries, print paper on both sides, and buy things that are already recycled or can be recycle...

Water waste

Water is a really important part of our lives. We are mostly made of it and without it, we could die very quickly. Unfortunately, not all of us know that Earth in 71% is covered by water. and 96.5% of this water is salty. Fresh water that we can drink is only 3.5% and 68% of it is trapped in glaciers. Adding the fact that we waste a lot of this fluid there is not much left for us (about 1%).  We aren't the only specie that needs water to live. Ther are also loads of plants animals which need it. We are a part of an ecosystem, so when we take water from other species it disrupts it (and causes food security). Another important problem is that when we need to supplement water from the underground and water from there doesn't regenerate as fast as we extract it.  It also needs a lot of money, energy, and time to make water drinkable. Some steps of this process produce by-products that go to the atmosphere and cause Earth's rising temperature. We can help to stop water wa...

Animal trade

    To know how to stop animal trade we have to be aware of what it is and how it is done. In short words, i t is a sale of a wild animal (alive or dead) or its part.       Many people own a pet. Usually, it is a cat or a dog. But some people buy more unusual animals like parrots, snakes, or lizards. Unfortunately, when people buy an exotic animal they don't think about the way of transporting them .      Not all of us know how foreign animals are captured and transported. It is terrifying and cruel. First of all, animals are captured and taken away from their homes (natural environment). It is a huge amount of stress for them already. Then they are killed to produce medicine or souvenir, wounded to get a valuable part of them, or smuggled on planes . If they go to the plane they will have to go through a lot. Dealers rope parrots legs and beaks and then hide them in plastic tubes. Turtles are taped in a way that won't let them get out of the...
