THE CLIMATE CRISIS IS REAL!
|
|
“The changes are dramatic. It's a call to action.”
- Dr. Ron Kwok, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
|
|
I've been an environmentalist as long as I can remember. In fact, I started recycling in 7th grade, and in my first year of college, I interned at the East Michigan Environmental Action Council where I worked with an environmental attorney fighting to save wetlands. Today, we are faced with a climate crisis, and you may ask yourself, "Is it already too late?"
Well that depends...

DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: A LIFE ON OUR PLANET |
By Katana Abbott, SWE Founder
There are some voices that are so familiar, so comforting. For over 60 years, Sir David Attenborough has brought the wonders of the natural world to our screens, completely transforming our view of the wild world and inspiring us to action to protect our planet's most precious species and fragile habitats.

COWSPIRACY:
THE SUSTAINABILITY SECRET
|
By Katana Abbott, SWE Founder
We all have heard that fossil fuels are the biggest cause of greenhouse gas and climate change, but what if it's not true, and what if another "Powerful Industry" is keeping the Truth a secret? One of my favorite movies available on Netflix is called COWSPIRACY: The Sustainability Secret.

TOILET PAPER CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE ENVIRONMENT
You may not realize it, but the toilet paper in your bathroom likely comes from some of the most important—and threatened—forests in the world. In fact, Procter & Gamble is driving the devastation of one of the last great forests on earth to produce Charmin —made out of 100 percent virgin forest fiber.
Learn how the toilet paper you choose can make a difference from The National Resources Defense Council!
