Turn it off when you are not using it.

Hello everyone, today I need to tell you guys something about your tv's. Usually you watch a movie or a show, basically you watch tv and some of you guys fall asleep or and leave the tv on or you just leave the tv on when you're not using it and that is wrong! Todays challenge is to turn off the tv (witch means dont turn it on obviously) for at least 2 days and if you can try to continue.

I also wanted to say one challenge might last for a week sometimes. Like example this challenge lasts for two days but I will still give you guys a new challenge tomorrow. I know it seems a bit (okay maybe very challenging) challenging but you guys can handle it. If some of you guys dont have a tv, here I will give you guys a mini challenge:

Mini challenge:
Try to use about half the amout of water that you use  usually.
( sometimes I might forget to wite a challenge or a mini challenge but that doesnt mean Im quiting or something and if I do forget just make up your own challenge of the day and if you really like it send me it in the coments, dont be afraid to ask questions or to leave a coment, I dont bite! Also if you guys dont agree with something I write just tell me (coment), i would be glad to fix something up or if you guys want me to write something specific you guys are free to request anything you like.)

(When I say "guys" I dont mean men, I mean everybody, so Im just talking to you "guys".)

Be green!

(Sorry that I dont put pictures that often, my computer just broke so I have to use my Ipad to blog.(if one of you guys know how to put pictures on the post from the Ipad Id be glad to know,thank you guys for participating!)I also wanted to say that there is a question that I put up, dont be afraid to vote because I dont know if you guys are experts on being green.)

Re use

Hi everyone sorry about this week (not enough time) anyway today we will all learn to reuse our stuff. Let's say you have many books you have read or you don't want I think you should give them to people that are interested in reading them. If nobody likes the books you have ( I wonder if that will ever happen?) just throw them out! Remember not in the garbage, in the recycling!!

Don't waste energy!!

Hi everybody, today's challenge is all about saving energy. A lot of you guys think you are good environmentalists but some of you forget.... Wen you're charging or electronics you usually leave them charge over night but by doing that after you get full battery you Are still sleeping and you are using energy for nothing and also your electronic device can get destroyed this way.

Please throw garbage in the garbage can!

Hi everyone, if I end up writing a post one day please do it on the day and if the next day I do not have time to write a post you can simply do the post that was for the day before. Anyway today I want to tell you guys something, sometimes I go to a city park or in a green area I see garbage cans,   then I see garbage all around them so I figure that the can must be full then I go check and no I was wrong, the can is barely full. Please actually throw garbage where it belongs because I can get really frustrated  with these kind of things.

Quit smoking!

Hi everyone, I know I have not written any posts for a couple of days but it is hard for me to always write a new post. I am really busy this year but do not worry at all I will always try my hardest to make time for you guys. Anyway today we will do a challenge to help air pollution stop. Air pollution is what I really want to work on this year because this is affecting our environment a lot this generation. The challenge is something mostly for the adults. I know this might seem weird but you can atleast try, taday try not to smoke any cigarettes or cigars... Believe it or not this affects our environment and your health. I he you guys try to do this and please tell people about 1actaday because the more people the bigger the difference.

For everyone who does not smoke or is a child here is a mini challenge:
Eat healthy all day. I know you might think "all the leftovers of my food like (apple coars, banaa peels, leftover vegies...) still go to garbage." If you leave them in your garden or in a grassy area eventually they will slowly "melt" into the ground and that will fertilize the ground believe it or not.

Hope you and your friends participate!

Let us save and use less

Hey everyone sorry, I've been very busy this week and i tried to write a post for you guys but I didn't have any time. Anyway today we're going to work on saving and not wasting. So today every time you go to the washroom, when you wash your hands try to use less soap or when you're taking a shower try to  use less shampoo... When you brush your teeth try to use less tooth paste ( I think you know what I mean).

For all the days that I have not written a post this week I'll give you guys a normal challenge to do when you have time today. Try not to use any straws today.(I know I may be repeating a few challenges from last year but please get mad at me, I'm still human I am not a robot, its hard for me always thinking up challenges for you guys)

Let us work on it

Hi everyone ! I have decided that almost everyday I will write a post and I also will in the summer. So I think for today we should work on air pollution. This challenge is really simple and basic, let's say you and your family or friends want to go somewhere and the area you want to go to is pretty far and you need to use your car or motorcycle ... Usually everyone takes their own vehicle to where 
ever you want to go to but my point is why shouldn't we all go in the same vehicle? If you don't have a car... Just take the bus with your family or friends or ask if your friend or family member can give you a lift to where you guys are going. If your not going somewhere far today just do the mini challenge. Hope you earth savers participate!

The mini challenge of the day: Pick up minimum three pieces of garbage that you find outside and obviously throw it in a garbage can.

Hi i was on vacation...

Hi guys, I feel sooooooooooooo bad for not writing posts for days,
I was on vacation, I was and still am, but I had went to Paris and there was no WI-FI and now I just came to Greece and we caught WI-FI so i just started to write(type) this. Today's challenge is to try to keep your freezer full because this helps save energy.It helps because each "item"keeps the other item next to it cold (more like frozen).

If your sleeping or you're in a other room....

Hey guys, today's challenge is something that we all forget to do very often. When your in a room and you turn on the lights usually you stay in that room for a bit but when you leave the room some of us don't turn the lights off. Also when your  alone in the house or your with some people and everyone is sleeping but you, and then you decide to go to bed again some of us leave the tv on or don't close the lights... etc
Today we will do the opposite, we will turn of anything that is on before we go to bed and when we leave a room we will turn off the lights!

Sorry guys I didn't have time....

Hi everyone I'm sorry about yesterday, I  didn't have time to write a post because I was really busy packing my luggage. Anyway I think today since it's summer some people like to play video games and here's an example of the challenge:
Let's say you play video games for 2 or 3 hours subtract one hour of your gaming  so if you do game for 2 hours today you will game for one hour! Even if you don't play any video games you should subtract one hour  of your computer time!

                                                                             of

                                                                         time

                                                                            time

I really really apologise! I'm so sorry !!!!!

Hey! I really apologise for not being able to write any posts since last Thursday, the WI -FI at my house 
didn't want to work at aaaallllllll! I was so disappointed !

 So things happen and I think every challenge should last for 3 days because maybe my WI-FI won't be working again. 

So for these three days I think everyone should recycle something! Not by putting something recyclable in the recycling bin but making something out of it! Here are some ideas:

Bring bags with you when you go...

Hey guys, I thought maybe we can all try  to bring a few bags with us when we go to the supermarket/grocery store so we can reuse the older bags. This will help you save money |(because usually you pay for them) and keep plastic bags out of the landfills.

If you really don't need a bag just simply recycle it!
thank you!

Lights Out !!!

Hi, today's challenge is to keep the lights off in one room for the whole day.  It can be really easy.  All you have to do is put some tape over the light switch.  That will prevent anyone from turning it on accidentally.
