After looking at that photo, you probably want to know what you can do to help. Well here's what's:
Car pool. It doesn't get easier than calling your friend to see if she wants to car pool with you to the movies.
Ride a bike. It's good exercise and helps with the atmosphere problem you saw.
Recycle. Don't put used paper in the trash. People have been saying it for years- RECYCLE!!! It's too easy! Don't be lazy! Recycle!
Reuse. You get a one sided paper notice from school. Don't throw it out, don't even recycle it! Reuse it!
If you can think of any more ways, please write them in the comments section of the blog.
