=__ Waste & Effects __=

MSW (Municipal Solid Waste):

 * ===Each person generates about 4.4 lbs of waste per day ===
 * ===251 million tons of solid waste in a year (2012) ===
 * ===34.8% of all waste in U.S. is recycled or composted ===
 * ===>14% is burned at combustion facilities ===
 * ===Other 54% disposed in landfills ===

When landfills run out, garbage is dumped in:

 * ===**Woods **===
 * ===**Waterways/ oceans **===
 * ===**International landfills (developing countries) **===

General facts about our water:

 * ===75% of Earth is water ===
 * ===2.5% is drinkable ===
 * ===1.2% is freshwater from lakes, ground ice, swamps, rivers, etc. ===
 * ===More than 1 billion people do not have access to fresh water ===
 * ===By 2030, water issues (demand for fresh water) will increase ===

=Animal Extintion= Corazon Leal

Cause:
== Extinction is the process by which a species, genus, or family, becomes extinct — no longer existing and living in the world. It is the abolition and annihilation of something that previously existed in the world. In the case of biology, it refers specifically to the end of an evolutionary line, or a branch on the tree of life. ==

Effects:
==The International Union for the Conservation of Nature has developed a system to classify the estimated health of a species. The system factors in: the rate at which populations are declining, total population-size, habitat-loss, total species range and ecosystem health, and the degree of habitat and population-fragmentation. The classification spectrum includes: Extinct, Extinct in the Wild, Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Near Threatened, Least Concern, Data Deficient, and Not Evaluated.==

===<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Climate Change is **<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">caused **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> by a number of things. The effect that climate has on **<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">extinction **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> is very big. The biodiverse Earth can't keep up with the rapid changes in temperature and climate. The species are not used to severe weather conditions and long seasons, or a changing chemical make-up of their surroundings. ===

Prevent:
>> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #545454; font-family: Helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Many products make use of palm tree oil. It's used in foods, cosmetics, and soaps. Many tropical forests are being stripped to make room for palm tree farms. If you see palm tree oil on the label of a product you're buying, make sure that company harvests the oil in a sustainable manner. You can find a list of companies that support ethical palm oil harvesting on the Union of Concerned Scientists website.
 * 1) **<span style="color: #545454; font-family: Helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Pay attention to the products you use. **
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #545454; font-family: Helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Look for products made from recycled materials. They are often marked by a series of green arrows forming a circle. You may also find information on a product's label indicating how much of it is made from recycled materials.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #545454; font-family: Helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">If you wear make-up, be conscious of which products you purchase. Many cosmetics companies are notorious for animal testing and other environmentally harmful practices. A lot of big companies, like Olay and Garnier, routinely practice animal testing. Read the labels on cosmetics, shampoos, and conditioners to make sure there is no animal testing involved.
 * 1) ==Do not buy products made from endangered species.==
 * 2) **<span style="color: #545454; font-family: Helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Buy local food. **
 * 3) **<span style="color: #545454; font-family: Helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Vote for political candidates who support the environment. **
 * 4) **<span style="color: #545454; font-family: Helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Use social media to your advantage. **
 * 5) **<span style="color: #545454; font-family: Helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Volunteer for organizations that help raise public awareness **
