You don't have to fly to Singapore to learn about how we can help, but you do need to take it seriously to make it work. Helping the environment is not an "Every other month" thing, it is an "Always" thing. You may not think that out of 7 billion+ people you are the one that makes the difference, but that is true. Make the difference and you won't need to mourn about the past.

Things you never knew about Recycling
Did you know:
Recycling 1 ton of mixed paper saves the energy equivalent of 185 gallons of gasoline?
Recycling aluminum creates 97% less water pollution than making new metal from ore?
A recycled aluminum can can be back on the shelf in 60 days?
63.4 percent of paper was recycled in 2009, an all-time high, according to the American Forest & Paper Association. 2009 was the first year the rate was over 60 percent?
It has been estimated that recycling, re-use, and composting create six to ten times as many jobs as waste incineration and landfills?
Making a ton of paper from recycled paper saves up to 17 trees and uses 50 percent less water than does creating paper from virgin pulp?

Great Vegetarian/Vegan websites
Being vegetarian/vegan is really good for the environment because killing animals for food is hurtful to the environment. Many species of fish have gone extinct because of commericial fishing for fish meat- espiecially in sushi. Every one can make a difference by standing up for this cause, even if it is just for a month, or a couple of days. I encourage you to visit these sites.
