Earth+Day

Man's technological advances such as automobiles, disposable diapers, and styrofoam containers has helped save money and make daily life more convenient.

This could lead to many problems like global warming, species extinctions, contaminated water and air supply just to name a few. We use the month of April as a time to focus on how our daily lives effect our environment, and how we can make small changes in our habits that can mean big help for the environment.
