The Man Who Planted Trees

Hi everyone! Today I watched a theater production at NJPAC called The Man Who Planted Trees. Sadly its not playing anymore, but it was a really funny and heartwarming story about a guy in France- a shepherd - who devotes his life to planting trees with his dog.(The dog is the funny part.) After 30 years the trees became full grown and turn into a big forest. Its actually also a picture book which you can buy. My point is that even though this shepherd DEVOTES his life to planting trees, even doing a small part, like planting a tree or telling others about how fragile the environment is can really help. Its so important to do everything you can to help the Earth.

Hi everyone! Here are a few links I want to share about global warming:

Did anyone hear about the sharks disappearing along the Gulf because of fishermen and huge mile-long nets? It's terrible! Sharks, along with some other sea creatures, help the environment by eating some of the garbage in the oceans/seas. I couldn't find an article about them, but I will share it with you guys as soon as I find one.

P.S. I'm trying to make a simple, fun game about global warming to teach others. It should be something sort of like Angry Birds-- easy to play, but fun and addictive at the same time. If anyone has any ideas, please write it into the comment area. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I've found this important article in The Economist about the Arctic. Here's the link; read it and learn!
http://www.economist.com/node/21530079
One of the most important things that I read in this article is:
 "if the level of carbon dioxide, methane and so on in the atmosphere continues to rise, then the Arctic Ocean will be free of floating summer ice by the end of the century. At current rates of shrinkage, by contrast, this looks likely to happen some time between 2020 and 2050."
 2020 is only 9 years away!!!! Can we stop this in time? how will this affect the rest of the world?? i hope that we can play a part in stopping, then reversing this disaster. And just think of all the poor polar bears!! :(

P.S. remember to take the survey!!!
