Save The Planet

Please help save the planet even the small things make a difference

[help-earth]

Does anyone realize that all of those scary movies about the world ending could actually happen, at any moment really... It’s more likely everytime we forget to recycle or turn on our cars... to many people it’s just science fiction but the truth is that it’s the reality now

[help-earth]

Omg this is literally so scary we have 11.25 years which means a lot of people won’t make it to 30 and those are the only people who are trying to save our planet. Most people over 50 probably don’t care because they’ve already lived they’ve done everything they’ve had to do but many kids and teenagers won’t get to so if you’re one of the people who aren’t trying don’t just focus on you think about your younger nieces and nephews and kids and everyone who won’t get to live because the shitty ass generations before us didn’t care about our planet as much as they cared about they’re money. People this is important. Save the planet please‼️

As I’m always a skeptic and had never heard of this, I had to look up more information. Very true, and here are excellent sources if you want to learn more - 1 and 2

Most flowers, houseplants and succulents at home depot have been treated with neonicotinoids, and this is true of most major big box stores like it. To avoid these pollinator unfriendly pesticides, consider supporting small greenhouses that don’t use them. Many smaller specialty plant shops eschew their use and thanks to the internet many of them also sell online.

And this, kids, is why I don’t shop at Home Depot’s garden center.

Awareness about the environment and climate change is growing super fast right now among people and countries, which will only help us

Most pollution is caused by like 100 companies, but a few of those (like pepsi) are trying to cut down on that.

if this stuff keeps happening things will get even better, and the only thing stopping us really are those big companies who don’t want to pay the money to switch to more eco-friendly energy sources. i know the media tends to cause fear and stress about this stuff for a lot of people, but there really is hope.

easy things we can do: 

Recycle 

Plant gardens in your yard for bees if you can

Participate in community volunteer things that plant trees and gardens

Theres this search engine called ecosia that plants a tree for every 45 searches you make, it has almost 2 mil users. 

Pick up trash if you see it when you’re at the beach or in nature

If you have a fair amount of money, consider donating some to trustworthy environmental organizations

Start using a reusable water bottle (like those ones at target) rather than relying on single use plastic ones.

Cut the plastic rings on plastic milk bottles. You know, the little spiky plastic ring near the cap. Birds get those things stuck around their neck and die, so cut them so that they can’t get stuck on a neck.

If you can afford it, get some of those reusable grocery bags and sue those. most grocery stores have them, and it saves a lot of waste.

If a rat could save the universe from a big mean purple dildo man then i think that a bunch of humans can save the planet from climate change. Get your shit together people.
