Hey people,
I've visited the Field Museum just a few hours ago,
and I thought I wanted to share this fact with you...
The normal rate of extinction is one specie per four years.
Now, about 30,000 species are dying out EVERY YEAR.
Doesn't this mean something to you??
People, the cause to this is US. HUMANS.
It's the first time in Earth's long history that one specie has been the cause of extinction for others.
Some reasons are the wastes, landfills that take up space that could have been a habitat, logging industries, and so many more.
Come on, people.
Make a difference.
Help save the environment, because it's US that's going to be end up dead if we don't start contributing, because of our own mistakes...
a good way to start would be to ride the bus or some other form of mass transportation whenever possible. also, start a compost heap and grow an herb plant. not only does it use up all those rotting carrot peels that would just end up in a landfill, it stops one more little plastic container from being thrown away next time you need basil or something
ReplyDeleteI had already known that many animals go extinct each day, but the blatant fact really brought me home. It was startling how we spent the morning goofing off on a bus, while 10 animal species had been extinguished forever.
ReplyDeleteMaking me feel guilty now.....
