Environmental.JOKES :)


everybody is talking about the importance of protecting the ENVIRONMENT. here are some jokes about the environment that i had found on the internet.
happy laughing, enjoy reading :)

#1
At a press conference, President George W. Bush announced that he is surprised at how quickly global warming is happening. Then one of his aides pulled him aside and explained that it was just springtime :)






#2
A woman called her husband during the day and asked him to pick up some organic vegetables for that night’s dinner on his way home.
The husband arrived at the store and began to search all over for organic vegetables before finally asking the produce guy where they were. The produce guy didn’t know what he was talking about, so the husband said: “These vegetables are for my wife. Have they been sprayed with poisonous chemicals?”
To which the produce guy replied, “No, sir, you will have to do that yourself.





#3

Students at school were asked to write about the harmful environmental effects of oil on fish.
One 11-year old wrote, "When my mom opened a tin of sardines last night it was full of oil and all the sardines were dead."

Did.You.KNOW?



  • Guns embed electrical plugs, although, when the electronic device is turned off = 40-50% saving of electricity costs you must pay each month. And that also, reduce the heat arising from an electronic device that spread to global warming. So release all electrical plugs when you go or not used. 
  • Plastic bags take 1000 years to decompose in the landfill (landfills). Around 300 million plastic bags were thrown away each year in Indonesia. Not to mention that dumped in the river behind the house and where they should not. 10kg paper prepared in the newspaper selling flea market, which requires 1 tree, takes 10 years to be big. Imagine what happens to illegal logging. How many trees have been cut down for you? Imagine how they make the world hotter? So bring own bags from home when you shop, try calculating how much you save when you plastic shopping once?


  • When you buy 1 liter of mineral water bought in supermarkets = 5 liters of water. Ask why?, Because at the factory, to cool the hot plastic bottles new printed, requires 5 liters of water. Listing bottle what is safe to use as a bottle of water? See the sign below the bottle, look for 2.3 or 4 numbers. Number 2 than that, they're not safe, because you eat plastic!!




  • TISSUE who has used it on guns can recycle, as well as former hit carton oil, food, cakes, drinks; they’re only a waste (garbage). Estimates of people wearing TISSUE day = 6 seed 2200 seeds a year. It means that we reduce the waste of paper as much as 7 Billion seed a year. GREAT IS NOT IT? Or use a handkerchief, towel cloth can be used over and over guns' such as tissue.




  • Be Green on ATM? Transfer via Internet mobile banking or 8 BILLION times in ATM transactions are issued a paper receipt of each epidemic is one of the largest sources of waste in the world. If during the year the transaction guns' uses paper receipt, it will save a large roll of paper which could create around equator line until 15 times. 




 

  •  Have a minimum of 2 kinds of trash in the house, helping to reduce water pollution, air and soil.

Eco.Friendly.Companies


As many beauty brands get on the eco-friendly bandwagon, a few are--and have been--making a big difference. These companies were in a recent report at theDaily Mail Online:



Chantecaille
Chantecaille shells out 5% from the proceeds of its gorgeous Protect Paradise compacts for Protect Paradis compacts for eyes and face, and donates it to the Pew Fellowship in Marine Conservation to fund vital research of fish sustainability and marine preservation.



M.A.C.
Since 1994, M.A.C. has been supporting the battle against AIDS and HIV by puttingevery cent raised from its Viva Glam Lipstick into the MAC Aids Fund. MAC has made a staggering $150 million since then.





Nude Skincare
Dedicated to reducing pollution (and backed by Bono), Nude Skincare combines eco-chic with eco-credibility by using shipping instead of airmiles to move its beauty cargo. The brand, with products like Nude Skincare Moisturizing Body Polish, has also made its packaging entirely recyclable, and aims for its products to be entirely biodegradable in the long run. 





                                                                                      Aveda
Aveda uses windpower in its manufacturingAveda does its share to help the environment not only by using natural ingredients, but also by extending help to the native women living in Brazil's east Amazon region. This action supposedly discourages conglomerate importers and middleman companies from usurping the interests of the Native women, and makes sure that Babassu nut (a vital ingredient in many Aveda products, such as Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother) is carefully harvested in order to avoid depletion of resources and environmental damage. To top it off, Aveda claims to manufacture all its products using 100% wind power.
Kudos to these brands for making a difference.



Have you tried the products of these eco-friendly brands?

Simple-Eco-Tips


time limitations will become a barrier for you to take part in preserving our environment.
here are 5 simple tips that you should try if you really want to make a difference to our nature and you can use to live a greener lifestyle :)







1) Consider alternative transportation
Bike or use public transit whenever you get the chance. Carpooling is another great idea that many businesses are doing these days. It cuts down the amount of pollution dramatically, you would be shocked.


car emission/km
2) Take care of your car and cut down on emissions
If you are going to drive, keep your tires inflated well and don’t speed. If you do these two simple things you will save not just the environment due to less emissions but you will save money too. You will use less fuel and goodness knows we could all do to save on gas. The prices are too high for me.

3) The 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
When you can reuse old packaging instead of buying new things. This actually saves more energy than recycling. The amount of packaging that comes with products these days is crazy so if you can reuse definitely do it. Think of the space the landfill would have if all that packaging didn’t make it that far. Get paper bags when you can but if you have to use plastic be sure to reuse them.

4) Compost kitchen scraps etc.
Approximately 30% of the trash that is thrown away is compostable. If you compost the leaves, grass, vegetable scraps and other miscellaneous food stuffs, you are saving energy and landfill space. You can use a regular old bin for composting or you can 
purchase special composters, they are pretty cool.




5) Conserve water

Don’t let faucets run. Never water your lawn at midday. Place a brick in old toilets. Take low flow short showers. Run the dishwasher only when it is full. Let grass grow longer. Plant native or drought-tolerant garden plants.

These 5 simple tips can make a big difference to the world, I know you’re skeptical, but it’s true. Share these earth friendly tips with your friends and get the whole gang going. By just doing one of these things you can set an example for others.

EcoFriendlyClothing :)


Here are some basic suggestions to keep in mind when you are shopping for clothing for you and your family:


  • Choose clothing that doesn't use animal products, from socially responsible companies. This may take a little investigating.

  • Bamboo clothing is a wonderful clothing option from a renewable source. It may not sound soft and comfy…similar to silk and cotton it is a breathable fiber, easily washed and cared for and extremely wrinkle resistant. Many designers are now using it to create their lines of eco-chic clothing because of it’s wonderful flow and softness.
  • Vintage clothing is making a comeback. Take a look in consignment shops for gently used clothing.
  • Investigate clothing, handbags and shoes made from recycled materials. Many companies are now creating clothing and handbags from some interesting recycled materials.
  • Choose jewelry made from recycled glass and other materials for an interesting necklace or conversation piece.
  • When shopping for new clothes, select a classic style that will last for years rather than trendy styles that you will get bored with or will be "out" next season.
  • Only buy clothing that you will really wear - avoid impulse buying!
  • Rent formal wear for weddings and other events. Women's evening wear rentals are now available in most cities.

  • Buy some gender neutral clothes for your kids that can be passed on to someone else and easily shared with siblings.
  • Dress casual more often! Clothing that needs to be dry cleaned leaves a bigger carbon footprint.
  • Tired of your clothes? Host a clothing swap - get a bunch of friends together and swap what you no longer wear.

Environment.Projects :)


lets go green everybody. here are some simple tips on how you can create more GREEN ENVIRONMENT :)







  • Adopt a park -- Help a group of young people adopt a neighborhood park. Enhance an existing park by planting wildflowers or building a butterfly garden. Ask your city parks department for information about local park beautification opportunities.






  • Curb clutter -- Look no further than your own street or nearby highway to enhance your community's beauty. Many cities have adopt-a-street or -highway programs where citizens can help curb clutter by picking up litter at regular intervals.







  • Conserving local wildlife -- Contact your local zoo or state park to learn more about conserving wildlife and protecting animals that are indigenous to the area.









  • Protecting waterways -- Become involved in water conservation efforts for streams, wetlands and waterways in your area. Check with a local division of water resources to see how to get involved.










  • School beautification -- Partner with a gardening club to plant and care for flowerbeds at a local school.











  • Recycling computers -- Encourage local businesses to recycle computers and other used electronic equipment by donating them to a nonprofit organization rather than throwing them away. Ask your city's waste management division about starting or expanding a recycling program for offices.








  • Neighborhood clean-up -- Volunteer with your neighborhood association to organize a neighborhood clean-up effort. Ask your city councilman to arrange for free trash pick up in support of the drive.
