Going Green!

By: Jenilee Rivera

Be a responsible human being and Go Green, even the smallest of changes can bring about a lasting impact.
Could this be considered the new... Butterfly Effect.
The idea was that if a butterfly chances to flap his wings in Beijing in March, then, by August, hurricane patterns in the Atlantic will be completely different. 
How much would the world change if each one of us did
"one green thing!"

DID YOU KNOW?

You could be the butterfly!

Just a few reasons why going green is the way to our future.

   Drive less...breath better! 
Each gallon of gas used by a car contributes about 19 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere. For a single car driving 1,000 miles a month, that adds up to 120 tons of CO2 a year.

   Americans throw away 25 billion Styrofoam coffee cups every year, and 2.5 million plastic beverage bottles every hour.

   If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we would save about 25 million trees a year.

   If all the cars on U.S. roads had properly inflated tires, it would save nearly 2 billion gallons of gasoline a year.

   By turning the heat down, Americans could save more than 500,000 barrels of oil each day--that's over 21,000,000 gallons.

You can be the Butterfly!
