Hello!
I’m going to turn this into a protecting the planet discussion page! <3
Here are some facts about what people are doing to our earth:
1. An estimated 17.6 billion pounds of plastic leaks into the marine environment from land-based sources every year—this is roughly equivalent to dumping a garbage truck full of plastic into the oceans every minute.
2. Over 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals are killed every year due to pollution.
3. Over 7,000 species are endangered.
4. This isn't really a fact- but I just wanted to say it's very annoying when people call forests "woods". It's like calling humans flesh instead of people.
5. 90% of all rubbish in the world’s oceans is plastic which can end up killing or disfiguring animals and plants.
6. An average of 100 acres’ worth of rainforests are being cut down every single minute.
7. American businesses alone generate enough paper every day to encircle the globe 20 times.
8. Between 50 and 100 species of plants and animals go extinct every single day because their habitats are destroyed by humans, often for farming.

Humans always take but never give back. Global warming won't stop if we don't do nothing. We have to stand up and fight, even if it means loosing some comfort. Our earth is dying because of us, and most people don't even care! But you can care. You can help save our home 🙂
