Save Our Fairies
A Fairy's habitat, is our habitat:
Contrary to popular belief, we are not helpless in the fight against global warming, that effect which is increasingly changing the world in which we all live, people, animals and fairies alike! Here are the seven low cost steps we can take, that will help reverse the climate crisis…and also save you a few bucks in the long run!
An Inconvenient Truth: Trailer
Al Gore: the former next president of the United States... a sobering view and a must see for all parents. Now required viewing for school children in England and Germany
- Compact fluorescent light bulbs: These energy-efficient bulbs cost less than $4 and are produced by major corporations like GE. If every household in America switched five regular light bulbs for five fluorescent bulbs, it would be the equivalent of taking 1 million cars off the highways for a full year. Take a look in your local hardware stores (Home Depot and Lowes), you can now pick up 6 bulbs for under $10. ... and lets say you've tried them before and they stuck out the top of your lamps, or took what felt like an eternity to come on...not any more! The new designs are exactly the same size as regular bulbs and come on instantaneously. Don't use them with dimmer switches, but start with the lights that you have on most often! The added bonus is you don't have to change them nearly as often as regular bulbs (you may even forget how to change a light bulb, they'll last so long!)
- Outdoor solar lighting: These yard or patio lights cost less than $20, and they don't burn any electricity or produce any CO2. There's also no wiring...
- Programmable thermostats: Though these thermostats cost from $50 to $100, they can actually cut your heating and cooling costs significantly. Set the setting so it's a little bit cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer when you're not in the house. A difference of 2 degrees can reduce a home's CO2 emissions by up to 9 percent over the course of a year.
- Air filters: Changing the air filters in your heating and cooling systems regularly (normally every 3 months) can knock 2 percent off of your CO2 output each year.
- Electric hot water heater blanket: Hot water heaters use a lot of energy and generate a lot of CO2. A blanket costs less than $18 and can cut your home's CO2 emissions by almost 4 1/2 percent.
- Phantom Loads: The things we turn-off at night with remotes, are not really off. Try unplugging, TV's, Video's, DVD players, stereos and computers. This type of hidden power drain amounts to around 4% of consumer power consumption in the US alone. Put into perspective, the power we don't even realize we're using would be enough to power the entire continent of Australia.
- Save a Tree -Plant a Tree Philosophy: The seventh task is pretty simple, don't cut down trees on your property (unless it's to make others around it more healthy) and plant a new tree! Trees are the earths "lungs". They breathe in CO2 (mostly responsible for global warming) and breathe out Oxygen (doubly good for us!).
When you're shopping for major home appliances, look for the Energy Star label. "This is a signal that you're getting an environmentally efficient appliance, that's going to save you money at the same time," he says.
Please remember, It's not just about saving money anymore...we all have to take steps to save what we love about our planet and to keep the tooth fairy magic.
Here's some examples of parts of our world which are populated by humans, animals and fairies alike. Each of these areas are directly threatened by rising ocean levels and the subsequent potential shift in ocean currents, which could drive Northern regions into a rapid ice age.
Florida: Large areas of southern Florida will disappear in the next 50yrs if the predicted 10-20ft rise in sea-level occurs. Orlando's Sea-World would be a lot closer to the sea! A large colony of Fairies' found only in the everglades would completely disappear, along with the Manatee.
Northern Europe: Large area's of Britain and Ireland, along with Denmark, Holland and Belgium would be gone. This is due to sea levels rising, however, it's now widely thought that a shifts in ocean currents would quickly follow. The breakdown of the Gulf Stream, the ocean current which feeds Northern Europe with warm Caribbean water...all caused by the polar caps melting... would create a rapid cooling period, or Ice Age, shortly after the sea level rise. This would blanket Northern Europe in a glacial Ice sheet. Large clan's of Fairies populate Northern Europe, where it's thought fairies and fairy magic originated.
Alaska: Unfortunately, a region already under the grips of Global warming. Polar bear are displaced due to shrinking ice and food supplies, glaciers are melting into the sea at an alarming rate and the melting permafrost is reducing the ancient forests of the region to rotting wood. The fairies of the Alaskan tundra have tough years ahead!
Africa: Whole regions are gripped by multiple years of drought. It's no better (and much worse) than the original Live Aid day's of the 80s. However, Africa's plight barely makes the news these day. One of the few places Fairies aren't found are in deserts.
