Now that I have told you about pollution, told you what you can do to help, and who is helping, I want to know what YOU know. I want to know what YOU are doing and I want YOU to share your thoughts.

I'm gonna turn it over to YOU now, comment and I will put that in my posts. Contribute, cause half the time i feel like I am talking to myself.

Some INSPIRATION

Its In Our Hands Now

Either way, whether you are going to help or not, we are the ones who have decide. We are the next to get this world, we are the ones who have to fix it and take care of it. The past generations have destroyed it, now we have to choose, Save Our Earth or watch it be destroyed.

.Its in OUR Hands Now.

?What will you choose to do?

Who's Helping? Who's Not?

There are several groups working to infrom people about global pollution or trying to take action against it, but most of them aren't nearly big enough, or have enough influence.

One is 'GASP'- Group Against Smog and Pollution, which is "a non-profit citizens' group in Southwestern Pennsylvania working for a healthy, sustainable environment". http://gasp-pgh.org/

Another group is 'Communities United Against Pollution (CUCCo)' who "are are committed to fighting pollution in underpriviledged communities", or communities that can not fight it themselves.

One more group is "Jesus People Against Pollution (JPAP) is a group working for environmental justice. They are organization located in Columbia, Mississippi. "The organization was created in response to an explosion at a local chemical plant that resulted in severe exposure of the community to toxic substances". http://sis.nlm.nih.gov/outreach/outreachjpap.html

These are just a very few of the many organizations in the world. But if there are so many why don't we hear about them more often? Well, these organizations are generally in communities, neighborhoods, not very big; so they do not get a lot of attention, and cannot change much in the world.

While on the other hand, the government, well, who hasn't heared from them. They are everywhere, they influence everything. But have they done much at all about pollution? No. While they are talking about who is going to host the next Olympics, the land they are planning to use is being polluted to disgust. In fact all land is being polluted. If the government would just become aware of the pollution, inform the citizens about how it is such a BIG problem, because most people are unaware of that it is. But the government isn't aware, they don't get it and they aren't doing anything about it. Thats why we, the citizens need to get involved, we need to inform our own government.

Get Involved!

Who?

I have told you now, about the two main ways that our earth is being destroyed. By water and air, the two things we need the most, but the two things that are demolishing the fastest. I have giving you a lot of information on these topics, now I think I need to say more about who is involved.

You know what is happening; our earth is dying, you know when it is happening; it is happening now, you know how it is happening; we are polluting our earth, you know where it is effecting; everywhere! But who is involved, who is being mostly effected. Everyone is effected, alot of people of already know what is happening. But who is doing something about it, who is mostly effected by this?

Who, that is what we are here to find out now.

so you are not burning excess fuel, and
releasing chemicals into the air.
