If you haven’t yet, go watch Avatar. It is a good inspirational movie for going green. Depicting a failing Earth and a planet that is flourishing, Avatar art may reflect our near reality. In the end, and with a great fight, the planet is preserved and heals, but only after banishing the injuring party back to their failing world.
5 Reasons The Green-Minded Should Watch Avatar:
New cinematic achievements. There were numerous advancements made during the production of this film.
Deeply embedded green message. Watch Avatar if you want a sneak preview into our potential future.
Avatar art reflects reality. Avatar is timely in its portrayal of failing political battles regarding fuel production, sales, and reliance.
It is in 3D. I don’t care how mature you are, 3D Avatar kicks @$$.
Can be a teachable moment for parents and teachers.
Avatar 2? I would watch Avatar 2. I think it does a great job reaching a group of people with a green message that would normally be difficult to reach. Post a comment below and let me know what you think.
Magazines | Sports Online Subscriptions Make Good Green Sense
Magazines online just makes green sense. Online subscriptions are gaining popularity, and for good reason. Consider the benefits of online subscriptions. Here are 6:
Magazines | 6 Reasons that online subscriptions make good green sense
Magazines take paper and a large amount of energy to produce. Online subscriptions remove this step and bring you your favorite topics in a digital format.
You can access your magazines, via your online subscriptions, at your convenience. No more piles of unread magazines!
You can read your favorite magazines anywhere. Your online subscriptions are available to you wherever you can access the Internet.
Online subscriptions do not need to be delivered via your local postal service. This reduces emissions and conserves natural resources.
Online subscriptions make great green gifts. If you know someone that loves their magazines (sports fans), you can help them go green with a digital subscription.
Magazines | Why sports online subscriptions?
I, like many other Greens, advocate motor-less sports. What a better way to encourage someone (ourselves maybe?) to live greener, than an online subscription to a magazine that emphasizes motor-less sports.
You have finally made it! Congratulations from Welcome2Green! As you prepare to celebrate your graduation, why not consider making sure the graduation-related events are green. Kick of this new chapter in your life by celebrating with friends and family, without sacrificing your eco-friendly commitment; or take this opportunity to make a new commitment to green.
Green Themed Graduation Party: Here is your chance to celebrate green. Consider making green the theme of your graduation activities. Start by sending out an eco-friendly eVite. eVites cost nothing and use nothing - perfectly green. eVites may not be an option for everyone on your guest list; try invitations made from recycled or organic materials.
Going solar is another eco-friendly idea for your green themed graduation party. Have your party during the time when the sun is out. Using the sun to light your green graduation party will save lots of energy. If you want to party into the night, try using solar powered lights to light the way. This eco-friendly alternative to standard lighting is a perfect way to green your graduation activities. For a more personal touch, and additional lighting, you can also try naturally made candles.
Third, eat organic. Food for your guests offers a great opportunity to green your graduation party. Organic food is good for you, good tasting, and good for the environment. Because of its growth in popularity, organic food can be found in most grocery stores. You can green your graduation party from the appetiser, through the main course, and on to desert, by offering organic food items. Do you have to have meat to eat? Understood. Try fish as an greener alternative to beef.
So, you have your multi-course, organic, meal planned. What do you eat on? Number four, no disposable dinnerware. If your green graduation party is going to be a large venue, there are places you can rent enough dinnerware to supply all your guests. Not only is real dinnerware a great green alternative to disposable, but it will add a bit of class to your eco-party.
Recycle, recycle, recycle! Why have waste containers when you can have recycling containers at your green graduation party? If you implement the strategies above for greening your graduation party, you will have little to no waste; no paper plates, no plastic cups, no plastic utensils, even the food (organic) should be mostely compostable - very green. So, replace those trash cans with eco-friendly recycling cans, and make the most of your green graduation celebration. Now that is green!
Green graduation gifts: Let’s get to the important stuff, huh - gifts! Green graduation gifts are great to give and to recieve. Eco-friendly gifts show that you care. Set a good green example by considering giving some of these eco-friendly, all-natural gifts:
First off I’ll name the MAN-MADE things that make greenhouse gases, such as vehicles, factories, boats, and airplanes. Deforestation is another cause for greenhouse gases. According to You can save the planet by: Jacquie Wines, greenhouse gases come in many forms, like water vapors, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and ozone gases. These gases trap more of the suns rays in earth’s atmosphere and warms us up.
How you can help?
The best way to decrease the amount of greenhouse gases there are is, is to ride your bike or walk instead of driving places. Some people think they have an excuse because they live farther away from town, but if that’s the case public transportation is better than driving your own car. Another really good way is to get an electric or push lawn mower because according to the book You can save the planet 40 cars driving on the road for a year equals 1 lawn mower that runs on gasoline running for 1 year; it’s the same amount of pollution.
What I plan to do
I plan to ride my bike more places and turn off lights that aren’t needed. Please post a comment telling what you do, or plan to do, to help reduce greenhouse gases.
