On Saving Planet Earth introductory eco-guide on saving planet earth by sunflair vintage Becoming Aware of Mother Earth Hey friend! First of all, I am so excited for you to dig into this guide. I think you will find so many useful tips that fit right into your lifestyle. Before I let you flip through the details, I want you to take a minute to think about where your interest in this guide came from. No matter if you’re “eco-curious” or a certified environmentalist, I want to remind you that together we are here for one thing: to give our love to Mother Earth. This goes beyond ditching straws and Styrofoam. We are guests on this planet, and we must be grateful to get to share this space with so many other beautiful living beings. To really love Earth, you have to love these beings too. It’s about devel- oping a respect for the powers of nature. It’s about becoming aware of your surroundings. It’s easy to get caught up in our own minds. Our problems. Our lives. When you start to become less aware of the “I” and become more aware of the “we”, caring for the Earth becomes a lot easier. Signed, An Earth Sign just don’t give up just don’t give Okay great, now that we’ve moved past the statement from the tree-hugger, I want to remind you of something even more important. Yeah, it’s difficult to change. Yeah it’s gonna be hard. Yeah you’re going to want to take the easy way out. Yeah you’re probably still going to drink out of a straw now and again. Okay? Okay. So despite that, you’re still going to do your very best every day. Not every day will be your very best. And that’s okay! Trying to aim for eco-perfect probably isn’t going to happen if you’re just starting out. Do the best you can every single day with the resources you are given. The effort is progress. You will do better tomorrow and it will get easier. Signed, A Flawed Human WHERE TO START: BOOKS TO READ: How to Start Recycling 101 WAYS TO GO ZERO WASTE Going Zero-Waste WEAR NO EVIL Get Your Energy Rating THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING Find a Community Garden SUSTAINABLE HOME groups and resources WHO TO FOLLOW: CLUBHOUSE ROOMS: @earthjustice The Sustainability Club @makeclimatecool Climate Club @sunrisemvmt Future of Food @stevieyaaaay Green Solutions tip one: go meatless I already know the carnivores are rolling their eyes! But hey, if this isn’t the first time you’ve heard this tip, maybe it’s time you try it. As a former carnivore myself, I can tell you that in this day and age, meat can sometimes be the more boring plate on the dinner table. If taste is holding you back, then you’re missing out! If you’re resistant, you need to ask yourself why, and give your own self reasons ‘why not’. When starting your meatless journey, don’t pressure yourself to go all in. Start with swapping one meal a day and see where that leads you. I promise it’s easier than you think! A meatless diet requires 2.5x less the amount of land to grow the same amount food. 8-10% of all global emissions comes from food waste & loss 58% of food-related emissions comes from animal product tip two: single-use substitutes Paper Cups Toothpaste Makeup Remover Replacement: Replacement: Replacement: Reusable Mugs Toothpaste Tabs Reusable Pads How you save: your local How you save: since your How you save: You can wash coffee shop might have a toothpaste is pre-portioned, and re-use these makeup re-usable cup program, you’re less likely to over removers, saving you a offering a small discount on use, thus saving over time! minimum of $5-10 every month. your coffee.

I would consider ‘Fast Fashion’ to be a buzzword in the sustainability world. And why? Well, truthfully it’s a really big issue, and we need to keep talking about it until it’s no longer the mainstream way to shop. 1:3 young women 8% of all global consider garments worn emissions comes from once or twice to be old the fashion industry More than $500 billion in clothing materials are lost every year due to underutilization and lack of recycling I can say with complete confidence that you don’t need to shop Fashion Nova or Anthropologie to be a fashion icon. You don’t need to waste your hard earned cash on a sweater that will fall apart in the dryer! Sure, it was $4 so what do you care. But you know what else is $4? A cashmere sweater in perfect condition you just happened to find at the Goodwill. And which has a lower environmental impact? I keep this in mind especially when shopping for leather goods. I couldn’t pull myself to purchase a brand new leather jacket, but if it’s from the 80s and it fits? Well I just scored myself a new staple! Above the environmental impact of slowing your fashion, you will start to develop a more personalized style. After all, who is going to come close to having the same outfit when you personally put it together? Local businesses affect your local economies by 70% more per square foot than larger retail chains This is your sign to get to know your neighborhood better! Shopping local (versus the dreaded Am***n), can have such a positive impact on your community. Do your research. Do you have a Farmers Market that comes through every week? Shopping from local farmers helps reduce resources burned transporting it to your grocery store. tip four: think local Shipping produces 1 59.3% of independent billion metric tons of business owners say co2 a year they occasionally of often using recycled materials tip ve: the big offenders tip ve: Ready to take some actionable steps to reduce your impact on climate change? Here are the big “No-No’s” that you need to stop doing, starting now! These habits and actions have an enormous impact on the environment and are very important to reduce in your personal life.

Let’s break this down because I believe this study is one of the most important factors to consider in your journey to living green. Let’s start with this statement: “The report found that more than half of global industrial emissions since 1988 -- can be traced to just 25 corporate and state-owned entities.” Unsurprisingly the list consists of mostly Coal and Oil entities. The article continues with this warning: “If fossil fuels continue to be extracted at the same rate over the next 28 years as they were between 1988 and 2017, says the report, global average temperatures would be on course to rise by 4C by the end of the century.” So what’s the takeaway? Reject personal responsibility and leave it up to Shell and Exxon to save the world? Exactly the opposite! I wanted to present this article as a reminder that our actions to save this beautiful planet go beyond sorting your recyclables and attending community forums. Because here’s the tea: if you drive a car or use electricity, your consumption contributes to the 71% of global emissions.

    Geological Timeline In this pack you will find information and activities to help your class grasp the concept of geological time, just how old our planet is, and just how young we, as a species, are. Planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. We all know this is very old indeed, but big numbers like this are always difficult to get your head around. The activities in this pack will help your class to make visual representations of the age of the Earth to help them get to grips with the timescales involved. Important EvEnts In thE Earth’s hIstory 4600 mya (million years ago) – Planet Earth formed. Dust left over from the birth of the sun clumped together to form planet Earth. The other planets in our solar system were also formed in this way at about the same time. 4500 mya – Earth’s core and crust formed. Dense metals sank to the centre of the Earth and formed the core, while the outside layer cooled and solidified to form the Earth’s crust. 4400 mya – The Earth’s first oceans formed. Water vapour was released into the Earth’s atmosphere by volcanism. It then cooled, fell back down as rain, and formed the Earth’s first oceans. Some water may also have been brought to Earth by comets and asteroids. 3850 mya – The first life appeared on Earth. It was very simple single-celled organisms. Exactly how life first arose is a mystery. 1500 mya – Oxygen began to accumulate in the Earth’s atmosphere. Oxygen is made by cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) as a product of photosynthesis.

  • Carbon Trading, Climate Change, Environmental Sustainability and Saving Planet Earth
    Paper no. PA21A-1292 Carbon Trading, Climate Change, Environmental Sustainability and Saving Planet Earth Wyss W.-S. Yim Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Centre, City University of Hong Kong and Department of Earth Sciences, The University of Hong Kong E-mail: [email protected] 1. Introduction The effectiveness of carbon trading (reducing CO2 emission) to combat climate change in order to achieve greater environmental sustainability and/or saving planet Earth for prolonging the survival of future generations of the human race is examined. 2. Is CO2 emission the most important driver of climate change? The answer is not a resounding yes. The inconvenient truth is that CO2 was singled out conveniently as the number one enemy of climate change by many particularly those who are not Earth scientists. Even though the present CO2 level has reached ca. 389 ppm exceeding the highest level in 800,000 years in Antarctica ice cores (Fig. 1), great uncertainties exist on the effectiveness of carbon trading as a solution to the problem of climate change. Other measures with probably smaller uncertainties presented here will also be necessary. Fig. 1 CO2, δD and CH4 records in Vostok and EPICA ice cores. 3. Environmental sustainability as an ideal Sustainable development was defined by Brundtland in 1987 as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is however impossible to achieve because it requires Earth’s natural systems to be in an overall long-term balance. Therefore we can only work towards greater sustainability.

  • Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (Eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang
    Morgan Richards (forthcoming 2013) ‘Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang. GREENING WILDLIFE DOCUMENTARY Morgan Richards The loss of wilderness is a truth so sad, so overwhelming that, to reflect reality, it would need to be the subject of every wildlife film. That, of course, would be neither entertaining nor ultimately dramatic. So it seems that as filmmakers we are doomed either to fail our audience or fail our cause. — Stephen Mills (1997) Five years before the BBC’s Frozen Planet was first broadcast in 2011, Sir David Attenborough publically announced his belief in human-induced global warming. “My message is that the world is warming, and that it’s our fault,” he declared on the BBC’s Ten O’Clock News in May 2006. This was the first statement, both in the media and in his numerous wildlife series, in which he didn’t hedge his opinion, choosing to focus on slowly accruing scientific data rather than ruling definitively on the causes and likely environmental impacts of climate change. Frozen Planet, a seven-part landmark documentary series, produced by the BBC Natural History Unit and largely co-financed by the Discovery Channel, was heralded by many as Attenborough’s definitive take on climate change. It followed a string of big budget, multipart wildlife documentaries, known in the industry as landmarks1, which broke with convention to incorporate narratives on complex environmental issues such as habitat destruction, species extinction and atmospheric pollution. David Attenborough’s The State of the Planet (2000), a smaller three-part series, was the first wildlife documentary to deal comprehensively with environmental issues on a global scale.

  • Transitioning to “Geocratia” the Jus Semper Global Alliance
    The Jus Semper Global Alliance Living Wages North and South Sustainable Human Development May 2020 BRIEFS ON TRUE DEMOCRACY AND CAPITALISM Transitioning to “Geocratia” the People and Planet and Not the Market Paradigm — First Steps Álvaro J. de Regil ollowing up on my commentary to the March 2020 Great Transition Initiative (GTI) forum: F “Planetise the Movement”,1 I assess the diverse ideas discussed in the forum and concurrently elaborate with far more detail in this essay how I envision the first steps to materialise the change of paradigm from the current unsustainable market- centred ethos to a global movement that rescues our planet and provides sustainable life systems for our future generations and all living things. The implicit premiss in the forum is that there is already a movement yearning to transition from the current paradigm to a new truly sustainable one; in fact it is presumed that we are already in a trajectory that will shape a new planetary society, albeit because of cultural, social, and political fissures,2 the outcome is still uncertain. In 2002, the GTI published a seminal paper: “Great Transition — The Promise and Lure of the Times Ahead”. It assesses the underlying causes of the complete unsustainability of world development and advances a long-term alternative scenario that examines the requirements to build a new sustainable paradigm by identifying strategies, agents for change and values for a new global agenda.3 In December 2017, the GTI revisited the issue, focusing specifically on “How Do We Get There?”4 What becomes evident is that there is indeed a growing number of people that have arrived at the conclusion that we cannot remain in the current unsustainable market-driven paradigm if we want to bequeath a planet where future generations of all species can enjoy a dignified quality of life.

  • 1 a Critical Analysis of How the BBC Marketed to Attract Viewers for Planet Earth II and How Social Media Contributed to The
    A critical analysis of how the BBC marketed to attract viewers for Planet Earth II and how social media contributed to the campaign’s success. Ten years after the BBC’s Emmy award-winning nature documentary Planet Earth (2006, BBC) stunned audiences with high-definition views of animal habitats across the globe, a sequel promising ‘the most immersive wildlife documentary experience to date’ was announced (BBC Media Centre, 2016). Revealed on February 22, 2016, Planet Earth II (2016, BBC) is the latest instalment of the highly successful Planet Earth franchise that includes documentary series The Blue Planet (2001, BBC) and feature film Earth (2007, BBC Worldwide). The new series, set to premiere later in the year, consists of six episodes that each feature a specific habitat including grasslands, forests, mountains and cities. Shot over four years, it utilises the latest camera and drone technology and is the first nature documentary to be filmed in ultra high-definition (4K). With never-before-seen footage and the return of well-respected presenter David Attenborough, Planet Earth II features all the elements necessary for high ratings; however, in a digital generation where primetime television is becoming less relevant, a strong marketing campaign was imperative to ensure success. Leo Birch, BBC strategist responsible for marketing the series, admitted in a telephone interview that primetime television is becoming increasingly harder to market, however the key to success is to plan a campaign suitable for the future (Birch 2017). By spreading content via various social media channels including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, the BBC took advantage of new technologies to bring traditional television into the digital generation.
