OUR BIG FEET ARE LEAVING A HUGE CARBON FOOTPRINT!!!

So everyone has heard of the three R’s over and over again. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. I partake at work and here and there but I never actually took it seriously. My plan this weekend is to get as many people involved in my family as I can and to start a serious recycling plan at home. The irreversible damage that is being done is unreal. Last year, 2010 was the most crippling year we have ever encountered before with the largest amount of coral reef dying ever. It has to do with global warming created by our own selfishness. I don’t expect anyone to be able to stop this but we can do our part to make a difference and slow down the effects. Coral Reef plays such an important role in our ecosystem. The coral reefs were first developed 5-7,000 years ago. These reefs are homes for millions of habitats and provide food for numerous plants and animals. The reefs form a natural storm breaker and play a major role in our economy especially here in Florida. The reefs are a 4 billion dollar industry and need to be protected from boats, human activity, and pollution. Over 75% of the reefs in Florida were declared in poor state this year. I joined the reef alliance and am working towards many any changes that I am capable of this year….updates to follow.
