Week 3: Alternatives for Styrofoam

30% of our fast-filling landfills are taken up by styrofoam. When styrofoam is wet or hot, it releases chemicals that contaminate your body and the earth. It was once a leading producer of toxic waste. There are enough styrofoam cups produced each day to circle the globe. Styrofoam never really goes away, so why not use alternatives like Bagasse (BAG-asse)?

Week 2

Hello, you may think that you need to be superhuman to save a whole planet, but it can be easier than you think. For instance, by just switching a light bulb or two in your home to those cool energy saving ones, you reduce the amount of electricity you use in that bulb by 75%! Or just take the half a second every once and a while to shut off lights in the rooms you're not in. So you don't have to be an energy-saving addict to help the earth! :)
