How we can Help the Planet: Part 7

          Five ideas you can use to help the Earth:

• Keeping track of where you go throughout the day and when you go there. This will allow you to figure out which things you can get done in one run, like grocery shopping and then clothes shopping if the two stores are close. Also, you can determine if any activities are unnecessary and do them less frequently, as well as figure out activities you are missing throughout the day, like exercise.
• Don't focus on your personal gain if it affects something in a negative way. The biggest examples of this are oil companies that care more about money and monopoly of the product than about the environment. It is true that we are not at that extreme, but something I am sure we have all been guilty of at one time is littering because you don't want to carry around your trash until you find a trashcan.
• Take the time to learn about a topic that interests you. This can be taken as both a way to help the environment or just yourself through education. Education is huge in most issues because it gets rid of  one of the main causes of any conflict, ignorance. If more people were curious and looked into global warming when the temperature was first starting to rise, maybe we would have made a bigger effort to solving the problem earlier and prevented our current problems.
• Donate. By donating, you kill two birds with one stone. NOTE: Killing birds is not something I want you doing, it is just a saying. Anyway, it helps people who are less fortunate and it keeps people from wasting. If you are not motivated to donate by those two factors, its tax deductible too, so there is really no reason to not donate.
• Go vegetarian a day a week. It takes 4.5 pounds of feed to cause a chicken to grow 1 pound. Beef eaters use 160 times the amount of land as a vegetarian because of all the space it takes to grow livestock as well as grow the food for livestock. that isn't even getting into some of the biggest issues. I know bacon is delicious, but sometimes you have to chose what is better for others than what is better for yourself. I mean, you don't have to go completely meat free, just cut back or have a meatless day or two.
