If everyone live like me, we would need 3.7 planets..Whoa, 3.7 planets, we barely have one planet to live in.I realize that we take more for granted than i thought, and learning that we only have ten years to reduce green house gas emissions, Polar bears drowning because Ice is melting in their habitats, and taking water for granted, recently learned that a state in the US had an awful draught, i really think we should be doing so much more. I have seen commercials about these like FLICK OFF, but i never took them seriously, and always thought that there would always be much more of energy, but now I'm hearing more on the news and i am coming to realize that we won't have so much more, our planet cannot keep up with our useless needs and wants.
77% of Canadians are convinced that global warming is real, and that half of us believe that we will begin to see the effects in our life time, 30% of us want our government to pay as much attention to climate change as they do with health. Still so much of us are still not doing anything about it and waiting for the catastrophe to strike!
Did you know that faucets spout 7 - 11 litres of water in a minute? think about it, that's almost like 6 jugs of those 2 litre pop bottle, a lot eh?
We need to make choices and very hard decisions, the smallest movement will even make a very big impact on how we live, we can start with our daily routines, think about it real hard, everyday what do we do? is there something what we do very useless, like for instance taking hour long bathes, leaving the lights on when you leave a room, letting the water run while your brushing your teeth, do you actually separate your trash for recyclables.
This interactive website was very helpful, it made me realize a lot just by telling me how much planets we'd be needing if no one really did anything about it, but we really cant just have another planet. God gave us earth to live in and now we are taking it for advantage and its dying throughout the time since its been here our generation is not caring enough for the world always thing about Our wants, and never minding about our limits.

Hi Paulene! Wow 3.7 planets, thats way less than me, good job for you :) But I agree with you, we do take more for granted than we think we are.

That is so true! Just 3.7 planets? Now i feel bad about my result.
Im going to go now and improve my daily activities.
I agree with you. we are taking things for granted and the more we do the more heat will stay in our planet. I also do think that we should take care of our planet even more, because everyday, the pollution and the garbage in the world are decreasing.
Your average is not as much as mine, but I like the way you added statistics to your entry. I do agree with you that we take everything in our planet for granteda and I didn't know that so much water was being wasted so quickly.
