  • use native plants instead of hybrid ones as those require a lot of pesticides
  • avoid damping any type of waste in storm drain.




LAND

The point is we as an individual have to be aware of all this and start making changes and remind people around is about this problem. For example, smoking may seem harmless, but, if that happens from a million person in the future years, the air will be polluted seriously. and a second example, littering a small candy wrap may seems innocent, but if a million person who does that , it will polluted the earth. So lets together make changes for a better future.

The Negative Effects of Television


Television has become a “member” of almost every single family on our planet. And not just an ordinary member, but a very important one, because the time spent next to it exceeds the amount of time spent together with any other family member. You do not have to apply any efforts to talk or listen to complaints while “communicating” with it. You do not have to play with your little son after a hard working day. You can simply turn the TV on and everything is done: kids are quiet, your wife is not complaining and you feel absolutely happy. It is so simple that it has become an integral part of the culture of every family. It is the only time, when a person can forget about all the family troubles and the failures of the day. The sofa opposite the TV set has become the place of “reconciliation and spiritual unity” of the family. And instead of playing together and having emotional talks people prefer to watch an episode from a thriller. It is senseless to deny the all-embracing negative effect the existence of television has brought to our lives. But to make our point of view ultimately convincing we will introduce to your attention certain facts that people do not want to accept and often try to justify.  The base of the tomorrow’s society – are children today. And on the way they develop depends how are world is going to look like tomorrow.
