Not only is our song easy to relate to and upbeat, it was created to motivate everyone to make a difference. The Future is today. Instead of focusing on what we can do later on, we should focus on what we can do here and now. We live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, if we do not try and protect what we have, who will?
Changes we should make that are mentioned in the song:
-Plant trees not only to save our wildlife but to increase the amount of Oxygen available for us to breath
-Smoke and Carbon Dioxide generated through forest fires and factories pollute our air quality, prevent burning and promote renewable energy sources
-Acid rain is a product of the pollutants, to prevent this, prevent wasting reusable materials: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
-The Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico damaged the wildlife in the region permanently, but with the high amount of boat traffic we in BC also have heavily polluted water. Prevent the pollution by not littering. Dispose your waste in proper bins.
-Turn off the lights when you leave a room
-Unplug electronics and your car when you are not using them. Ride a bike!
-We in BC can and will be the pioneers in renewable resources and sustainable energy!http://www.youtube.com/v/_qNSsaEl9go&rel=01,1291,603#1 Video 16-19

Age Group: 16-19 audio23/_img/avatars/7495ab80d4ace11d71d467b374d1ceff.jpgNovember 26, 2010 3:53 pmI think that in terms of environmental intention, retrieving the enormous island of garbage in the south pacific ocean and converting the classes 2, 3 and 4 plastics into oil and recycling and reusing the other garbage matter is one of the most colossal environmental and energy saving tactics I have ever heard of.
Biologically, by preventing further deconstruction of the particles of plastic , we can hope to prevent future degenerative disease caused by micro-particles of plastics working their way up the food chain and into our cell tissue.
IN terms of energy conservation, we could generate a generous amount of electricity by burning a small percentage of the oil attained in contained combustion generators. This energy could be used to fund the demand of energy for the transportation of these materials from the ocean to the processing plants.
Think about it, its ingenious, there is no chance of an oil spill like there is with maneuvering giant tankers through sequences of canals and island passages full of highly toxic oil product, for even if the boat flipped and all the plastic fell into the sea, it would just be a matter of time before it came back to where we\\\'re getting it from. http://www.youtube.com/v/oetOSZYHSXs&rel=019952#13 Video 16-19

By using power created when a bus stops, we could generate wireless electricity, charging all the cell phones within that bus.

But what is a xeriscape?? they are gardens that consist of plants which require no supplemental watering. Xeriscape plants work with your particular climate rather than against it. North Americans are the biggest water users in the world, over 300 liters per day, per person! that is unacceptable if you ask me! Think of the water we could save if no one watered their yards!! it is time to take measures to reduce out water usage.
Go get educated on plants that are suitable to your climate, and start converting your yard to a xeriscape today! it only makes sense!http://www.youtube.com/v/1bAjmkk9D9Y&rel=02,5061,918#1 Video 20-24

Fact: Recycling a single plastic bottle can conserve enough energy to light a 60-watt light bulb for up to six hours 2) Walk, bike or carpool. Its good for you AND the environment. Did you know transportation is the #1 pollutant in cities? 3) Turn off your lights! Get into the habit of turning off any unused lights or as you leave a room.

Why are we told to turn off the lights every time we leave a room in our own homes, but we don\\\'t at school, the place we spend the most of our time? This simple and effective conservation method costs nothing to implement, yet saves power and energy, while helping to remind our youth, the future generation, each day about the importance we all play in conserving energy, and hopefully these simple actions will trickle into their lives outside of school too!281336#10 Video 16-19

Just think, if we do our best to live sustainably, perhaps one day everyone, no matter where they live will be able to share the resources we have been taking for granted. It doesn\\\'t just happen. It\\\'s a choice that we will have to make over and over again for the rest of our lives.
