New Year

(in case it's too small, you can't read it, the cat-Mooch- is saying to the dog-Earl- 'It's just you and me,pal" and then you see all of the animals underneath.)

Ok! For New Year's, everyone's New Year's Resolution should be to be more GREEN!

I am....I will finally remember to turn OFF the computer when I'm done, not sleep,etc. 

here are some ideas:

• I will turn off the water when i brush my teeth
• I will turn the light off when I sleep
• I will not fall asleep in front of the TV
• I will recycle all of my junk mail...etc.
• I will buy more organic stuff or organic food.
• I will buy a hybrid car.
• I will excersize once a week by biking to the grocery store.
• I will jog to my friend's house, which is just around the corner, instead of driving

....etc.

Please, help the world.....

And also...I want to add how much joy an adopted dog is...or cats....or rabbits...you know.

I got my dog from the poodle animal shelter, and he's only part poodle. He's a poodle terrier. 

Ollie is terrorfied of the cleaning lady, needs braces pronto, barks like crazy at the mailman, and is the best dog in the world. I added the photo to the top, on accident.

Saving Dogs.... Because they are CUTE!!!

Hello!

Sooo.......

You might be thinking Lola why in the name of pete should I adopt a dog when my neighbor down the street all ready has some for sale?

It's great if you know someone with puppies for sale but, think about it. Millions of dog lovers all across the globe would prefer to get a puppy over any other age of a dog so all of the dogs you see at shelters  are left without homes.

I adopted my dog after she gave birth to 3 puppies but sadly none of them survived. My dog is really really REALLY cute and we found her at a shelter for pregnant dogs.

Even though she wasn't a puppy I still got to train her since she had been a stray before and didn't know how to sit, and stay. When you adopt a dog you can get all of the benefits of adopting a puppy plus the knowledge of knowing you saved an animal in need.

 = ) 

Which is good.

Change

Ok 

Hey peeps!

 This blog is going to CHANGE---not only about the environment, now, but also FOR THE ANIMALS!!!!

Animals all over need homes, and I adopted two animals-one cat, one dog. They both are happy here, and I wish everyone could know how great it is to have someone witing for you all the time and ALWAYS happy when you get home. It's just a great feeling. So go----adopt a pet! They're worth it!

Dear teachers of the world

Dear Teachers of the World,

If  you are a teacher, and you are reading this than  please contiunue reading and see if any of these tips will help you class room go green.

Tips On Classes Going Green:

1. Almost all teacher assign homework, essays, projects, or reports that need to be written, or typed on paper. This can not be helped, but it can be more eco friendly if the paper is other peoples paper. I am not kidding, there is a brand of paper that is made from recycled paper materials! How great is that.

2. All class rooms have some sort of textbooks where one book is in the class and one book students take home with them... Well this uses up a lot of paper. Lots of families have computers so if the families that do have computers could have an online textbook, that too would save paper.

Thank you, and please try these tips!

Spread the Word

Okay now I am really annoyed. 

People don't get it that we are killing animals, and destroying the environment. 

The animals we are killing includes polar bears!!!! 

There are so many ways that we can stop this! 

One tiny tiny ways that we can is spreading the word about this blog to people everywhere! 

The small things we do add up.

So please help us help the earth by spreading the word about Girls Go Green.

Thank you.

Song of the week!

This is not very GREEN related, but there is going to be a new article published every week that has the song of the week on it. I will be reading through the comments to see if anyone can guess who the song is by. This is just for fun. And also so I know who the writer of the song is = )

Muahahaha! I don't think many people know this. And if they do =(.

Tainted Love

If you know leave a comment The ans. will be posted next Sunday along with the new song.

what not to wear

ok... who saw the latest what not to wear??? well if you did then you know that the person ran a reclying company, and she went to eco freindly stores. so im trying to find some eco stores so you do that to! and if you can't find any try to by cotton, and natuaral products. NO poloyester!!! poloyester is really bad for the envirment. so rock on everyone and save the earth!!!

coastal clean up day

coastal clean up day is next saturday. you can go to any beach and you clean the beach for three hours. Go with one of your friends and it will be tons of fun, plus your helping the envirment!!!

HELP US!!!

HELP US!!! AHH! WE ARE DROWNING! AHHHHghhh!

Well... we might as well be no one would notice because no one reads this! I am becoming frustrated, and it is hurting my brain. Thank you to the one person that reads this. U rock and roll dude. Sorry about the negative attitude peoples. Or person in this case. Anyways I am going to take this time of my negativeness and point out all of the bad things about not saving the planet and not reading this blog.

1. When you don't read this blog I will be sad.

2. Animals die everyday, and no not the kind of animals that die for eating purposes the type of dieing like when you see something dead washed up on the beach. And the thing about this that really gets to me is that we think that. we don't count towards this. I'm just one person. It won't matter. But people yes it does matter! You matter because if everyone decided to be that just one person at the same time. Think of the damage it could do. I'm not pointing fingers here because I know that I do it too,

3. Global Warming is another downer about not saving the planet. And you know what? If we all keep it up we wont have to worry about it anymore. You can take that statement in two ways. The first way is that we are doing good and keep it up, or the second which is we are doing not so great, and if we keep it up we will all die.

Okay. Now some things about if you do read this blog and if we do save the planet.

1. I will be happy if you read this blog, and so will Ollie.

2. Animals would not be dieing as much from human causes and we wouldn't have to watch stupid reality shows that tell us about how we stink because we are killing animals (well thats what I'm looking forward too)

3. If we save the planet then we could be the generation that saved the earth. And it would give us all a warm fuzzy feel good feeling. (or at least thats what it would do for me).

Sorry if anyone found any of this offending. I was just letting out steam. Ahhh. All better.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back Ollie! Thanks for finally coming.

Has any one watched the Democratic, and Republican conventions? 

And if so this is a shout out you can send along to all of the politicians out there that have not realized this yet...

GLOBAL WARMING SUCKS, AND YES IT CAN KILL US!!!

Now I'm up

I've been gone too long...thanks Lola! I'm fully refreshed and want to show the world that we can change Global Warming.

Have you read the news about the Hurricane Gustav? Why are we getting so many hurricanes? Well, to put it short; Global Warming. If you live in an hurricane-struck area, you should be double green, not just green. I don't live where you can hurricanes or tornadoes, and yet I want to be green. So please, be a little greener.

And go to dosomething.org today. This website has inspiring projects in almost everything: Enviroment, Animals, Violence, etc. So Do Something! I would be happy even if you just did stuff for something else and know that you did something because you heard it from me.
:)

This is sad

Does no one read this blog? I feel like a writer with no one to write to. Oh well. Please if there is someone who is reading this blog tell your friends or post a comment to tell us what we can do to make it better. Thank you!

Quiz Me!

Find out how green you really are by taking this quiz:

Every night (hopefully) and every morning when you are brushing your teeth you:
1. Turn on the water and leave it on the whole time you are brushing.
2. Your pretty good about turning the water of sometimes... and tonight is just not one of those good nights.
3. Use just the amount of water that you need then turn it of every time.

When you get in the shower...
1. You let the water run over you for awhile before you start washing. Hey you had a long day yo deserve it!
2. You get in and start washing imediately! But you just bought new shampoo and you cant seem to get all of the bubbles out of your hair...
3. Get in wash and get out. You keep it short.

You had a long day at school and you decide it's time for a snack, but you have no clue what you want to eat. You,
1. Open the refrigerator door and look inside until you see something you like.
2. Open the door but decide quickly what you want.
3. Open the door and grab exactly what you want. It should take long since you decided beforehand.

You have a busy day in front of you and you need to get out of the house but before you do you
1. Turn off all of the lights and your computer. You might turn off some other appliances if you get the chance...
2. Unplug any thing that can be unpluged, and turn off anything that can be turned off.
3. 1. & 2.

1. Help by putting dinner in the oven now you can go play on the computer...
2. Ask for leftovers and heat them up in the oven.
3. Ask for leftover but heat them up in the microwave.


Mostly 1's
It's time to learn how to save energy instead of using it. It's hard to break some of your bad energy habits but you can. Start slow with taking shorter showers or turn off the lights. Work your way up and you'll be saving energy in no time!

Mostly 2's
You're doing good! You understand a lot about conserving energy, but you still can take it up a notch. Change out other light bulbs to be better ones that save more energy! Keep up the good work!

Mostly 3's
Your amazing! You are doing great on saving energy but don't stop there! Plant a garden or a tree! Or ask about other things you can do to help! Good job and keep it up!

Cars

We Americans love big fancy Hummers, or stretch limos, and I'm not saying that I don't. But instead of these you can buy a Hybrid, or be one of the first people to own a battery powered car.
The average family has two cars and if one out of the two of those cars was energy efficient we would be living in a healthy world. (If your carpool with friends but you do so in an inefficient car you really are not helping the go green cause. So don't think you are.)
If you want to be really good ride a bike or take a walk to your destination. If everyone did this the average American would be much healthier.

More news

If every house in America traded just one light bulb for 1 fluorescent compact one, we'd take 1 million cars off the road. That's easy, right? You even would save money while doing that. If only 50% of the polar ice would melt, countless streams would overflow and then dry up, because of the heat we've caused. Millions would die of starvation, if not also because of many more used-to-be natural disasters-now caused by our cars, our laziness. Why did Katrina and other hurricanes come so forcefully? Global Warming. Why are more and more tornadoes,tsunamis, earthquakes, and wildfires happening? Global Warming. We've been so lazy that now we can't reverse what we've done. we can only ease the pain-if anyone cares, that is. Plants and animals are becoming extinct RIGHT NOW because we're chopping down trees- while simultaneously belching out more bad stuff. Would it help if I made a newspaper about all this and passed it around my neighborhood? Maybe. But it would only help more if it were made on recycled paper. And you can't even find that in Office Depot, last time I checked.

Let's change. Our lives-and future lives are in danger because of us.

Earth Day

Ok, I know it hasn't been Earth Day for a while, but i need to write about something.

Ok, on the Sunday before Earth Day, I was in San Diego. Over there, ther's a big Fair, earth Day Fair. It wasn't much on Earth and recycling. It was more about all of those groups, like Prevent Animal Abuse and such. Many times I saw all of these hippies (one old man wearing black flare pants, and a tunic-like shirt that was cut down a litte and also a gropu of girls wearing long, colorful skirts, tunics, and with long hair and a band around their head. Crazy!). All around were these signs like "Peace on Earth" and "Do you know how many children were killed before birth?" and only one sign that said "Do you want your children to breathe healthy air?". That was the only one mentioning anything about how we treat our Earth.
My friend also went on a Earth Day Fair. Not the same one though. She said that it had so much more litter and so much more dirty by the time the Fair was over. The people who worked nearby were working way overtime cleaning it up.
Crazy!
Let's take care of our earth1 It's the only one we have!

I'm sorry for not writing

Truth is, I haven't thought of much to write but I know I have to so:

• Every 3 seconds a child dies in poverty. In one minute that's 20 deaths. Now think about your 8 minute cartoon of Tom and jerry tales.

Sorry that this isn't about Global Warming/Warning but here it is, ponder about it, it's Food for thought!
