It's is great to see everyone becoming more aware of the importance of our Earth. In fact, not only is the awareness increasing, people are actually starting to make changes in their day to day lives to improve the long term health of the Earth. All of us are taking on the responsibility of making a difference. April 22 is designated as 'Earth Day', a day to re-commit ourselves to the well-being of our Earth.
Making a difference begins at home. One of the major areas to make a difference is in our consumption of energy. As we become more and more technologically advanced, we are inventing more and more electronic gadgets. We are also realizing and becoming more advanced in saving energy. I would like you to go to the following website http://www.ecokids.ca/pub/eco_info/topics/energy/energy_efficient/index.cfm Here you will find a quiz on being energy efficient. By taking this quiz you will learn how you can help reduce your use of energy and greenhouse gases. After you have played the game, post a comment telling one thing that you can do to make a difference in saving energy.
