Rosy & Friends learn about Climate Change, Global Warming, Plastic Pollution & The Three R's

It"s been awhile since I have posted on this site... so after a period of almost two years I am back again, Yay Hippy Yay!!!

XL
Okay so today I start by sharing with you information about my new book that's been recently published. The title - "Rosy & Friends learn about Climate Change, Global Warming, Plastic Pollution & The Three R's.  Yes it is a rather long title but every issue mentioned in this title is worth mentioning.  There is an urgency going on and we need to all awaken and stand up together and help make the change.

About the Book - The Issue
Climate change is real and yes, it is affecting us in many ways that we can see and feel - heat waves, droughts, flooding, storms, decrease in crop yields, rising sea level, to list a few... Why are these things happening, and what can we do about it?
The Purpose 
This book will help the reader learn and understand the serious environmental issues we are facing such as global warming.  The reader will also learn about plastic pollution and how it adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat and humans.
And the Solution...
As a solution to help alleviate these global environmental issues, the reader will learn about and how-to-recycle, reduce and reuse.
The Aim
To help children become more aware of the current environmental issues we are facing globally.
The Design
The book was written in a story format rather than a text book style, to make this difficult topic more simple and easy to understand and follow.

Be the change...
Together we can make a difference!

Plastic bag issue at the shopping counter …

Remember, once you accept that bag, you are now liable for the rest of its future (will you hide it away in the cupboard or will you pass it onto to someone else or reuse it or will it go straight into the bin?  


Whichever route we take…it will end up in a landfill-further sickening Mother Earth or our precious oceans. 

Therefore, by accepting that plastic bag we are inviting more problems and hurting Mother Earth further, so the ‘ball’, okay, should i say... the ‘plastic bag’ lies in our hands…

Please, let's say “No thank you” to the use of plastic bags/packets!

Marine Mammals & Plastic Pollution

One million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals are killed annually from plastic in our oceans.

44 percent of all seabird species,    22 percent of cetaceans, all sea turtle species and a growing list of fish species have been documented with plastic in or around their bodies.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is located in the North Pacific Gyre off the coast of California and is the largest ocean garbage site in the world.
This floating mass of plastic is twice the size of Texas, with plastic pieces out numbering sea life six to one.
Plastic constitutes approximately 90% of all trash floating on the ocean's surface, with 46,000 pieces of plastic per square mile.

Plastic Pollution - Let's say 'NO' to plastic bags/packets

It is really heart breaking to see how much of a mess and damage we have caused and are continuing to do to our planet – Mother Earth.

‘Plastic Pollution’ is taking over and is our biggest crime.  But what can we do? We are so deep into it that it seems impossible to climb out.  We are surrounded by plastic: - keyboards, cell phones, grocery bags, water and cool drink bottles, food containers, shoes, hair accessories etc.   We so deep into it that we have even created plastic green grass/lawn and trees!!!

It seems like we are trying to convert nature – all that is pure to plastic – all that is damaging and unhealthy.  Are we not fooling ourselves…we are becoming plastic – Non- biodegradable!  We don’t realise how much “plastic” has become part of our lives and how much we depend on its use until you stop and take stock… shocking!!!


Sad to say my family and I have also been major contributors as well, we are sooo deep into it ourselves I wondered how to begin to make this change, then I realised…one step at a time…So my New Year’s Resolution for this year was;  ‘Say “No” to plastic bags/packets’, for starters. Must say it has not been so easy getting the family to remember to take the cloth bags with them when they went out shopping or to even use them, but slowly I see they are getting the hang of it.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all just say, “No” to plastic bags/packets, for now…Step One!

Anyway that was me having my say…please have a look at www.mother-nature-blog.com and share with your friends, if you likeJ.


Lots of love and please let’s say “No” to plastic bags/packets…
