hello
I'm Megan- just a small town Alabama girl but with big ideas. I'm kind of impulsive with a love for adventure and new things. I wanted to get a blog not only to get my writing fix in, but also to share my passionate ideas with everyone that sees this- so about 10 people, if I'm lucky! I am an artist that has not really found her niche yet- but its there. I am a jack of all trades, but a master of none. I try to put my ideas on facebook but facebook is for pictures and saying hello to people you never make time to call. I want to ramble about the things I love and the people around me and also about the things that people need to hear- which brings me to my first topic!!!

Humans produce 70 million TONS of carbon dioxide a day! High carbon dioxide levels trap the sun's heat in our atmosphere causing temperatures to rise and extreme temperature animals to die, and eventually, us. This climate change is a REAL threat to human kind and all of live as we know it. Eventually, if a significant change is not made, our planet will begin to resemble Venus, with temperatures around 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Already, sharks are swimming hundreds of miles north in rivers, fall flowers are blooming in early summer, and of course, penguins, polar bears, and other extreme weather animals are dying.
Also, drink tap water- after all, that's all your bottled water is anyway! Dasani water and Aquafina are both tap waters from the city of their packaging plants.

Fossil fuels are also used in the packaging of water. The most commonly used plastic for making water bottles is polyethylene terephtha (PET), which is derived from crude oil. Making bottles to meet Americans’ demand for bottled water requires more than 17 million barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel more than 1 million U.S. cars for a year. And for goodness sake, put a grocery bag by your garbage and collect the plastic bottles you do use, and take them to a recycling center. If you just google the nearest one you will be surprised to find they are all over!
