The environment

The environment is an important part of our lives and  impacts the way we live and work. One tree can provide air for a day for up to four people. There are many ways you can appreciate nature, such as going for hikes and other activities, but not many people actually help out the environment. Nature and trees do so much for us, it's time to do something for them!

For instance, you can use both sides of the paper instead of just one side. More than 21 million tons of paper are thrown out each year. 

Another good idea is too take shorter shower. Taking just a two minute shorter shower can save up to 10 gallons of water.

Using a reusable bag instead of a plastic one is also a great way to help our planet.

Get a clothes line. It'll save power, and is good for your clothes as well.

While brushing your tweet, turn the water off! It can conserve up to 5gallons a day.

Plant a tree! It provides a habitat to animals, releases oxygen, and can increase the worth of your house by 27%

Turn off  the lights after you leave the room! You've probably heard this one before, but it is important!

Before you throw something out, think about it. Could you recycle it? Maybe you could give the item to a charitable site. 

Turn your computers off for the night. It saves 40 watts a day and $14 a year.

Now that you know all that you can do, share this information with others. The most Important thing you can do is to be respectful of nature and it's inhabitants.

Book quotes!

Top ten book quotes. Everybody loves books, and I love books so much that I thinkI will share my love with you with BOOK QUOTES!

This is my last post about fun facts, so  I decided to do it on elephants.Because this is the last fun fact day, I will also be doing 5 fun facts on  thanksgiving, because  thanksgiving is coming up!

1. Elephants can use their feet to listen to vibrations in the ground

2 one elephant molar can weigh up to 4 pounds

3. The only mammal that can't jump is the elephant

3. Elephants can live for over 70 years

4.the average height of an elephant heart is between 27 and 46 pounds

5. An elephant pregnancy is about 22 months

6. Their skin can be 1 inch thick

7. At birth, an elephant weighs about 239 lbs

8. Elephants can hear each other calls up to 8 km away

9. Elephants can get sunburned so they protect themselves with sand

10. An elephant can smell water from up to 12 miles away




Facts about thanksgiving 

1 about 280 million turkeys are consumed annually

2 turkey wasn't even surved in the first thanksgiving

3 each year, the president of the United States pardoned a turkey

4 thanksgiving was originally a fast

5 when it's exited,a turkey's neck turns blue

Thanks giving

  Thanks giving is one of my favourite holidays. Spending time with family, stuffing yourself with delicious food, and of course the beautiful scenery. This weekend I did quite a lot of everything on that list, but there is one thing that  I didn't  include which I think is the most important of all.

Thanksgiving is about thanks, so why do we spend the whole time stuffing our faces?  Most of the time we don't take the time to be thankful on thanksgiving, and it's perfectly fine... Until you become self entitled person who doesn't remember where they came from.
     
     This post I would like to talk about all we have to be thankful for... And of course, a post wouldn't be a post without fun facts! In the Syrian and Iraq war, millions of people have fled for their lives. They don't have water, shelter and place to live. But the most important thing of all that they have lost is their freedom. In canada, we have everything we need (well, almost) and we need to remember how lucky we are. You don't need to do it everyday, but giving thanks once in a while will make you a better person. Doing this might might also make your lives happier too. Sometimes a little problem can be blown completely out of proportion. You might find a good old dose of realism can change a lot of things.

Fun facts

         Hello!
today my blog is going to feature some fun facts. Yes I know, you probably are all saying, "but this is a blog about happiness!" To which i will respond that happiness can be found in many shapes and sizes, and it is not all deep and life changing. Sometimes its just fun and good.
         So, without further a due, facts about...     animals!!
    
      
       
         

1. house flies always hum in the key of "F"

2. oysters can change gender 

3.Ostriches can run faster than horses

4.There's about 50,000 spiders per acre in green spaces

5. Fleas can jump up to 200 times their hight

6. there about 1 million ants for every human

7. A snail can grow back it's eye

8. the seahorse moves at about 0.01 mph

9. some penguins can swim up to 22 miles an hour

10.the killer whale is a type of dolphin

its in your thinking

                               lately I've been posting a lot of posts with quotes on them or things that make me happy, but another thing thats important is your mindset. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, but its how you do thats important. Of course, doing things that makes you happy is awesome, but you can't always do what makes you happy. A good way to feel happy about yourself is to stay positive and never stop believing that you are great. I know it sounds really cheesy, but thats because it is cheesy, and all cheesy things are cheesy for a reason.

 Another great thing to do is that when you fail (because sometimes you will) don't just let it stop you. People who are truly successful are successful because they want to be successful. And yes, i do know that everybody wants to be successful, but sometimes success isn't measured in how good you start out to be, because theres always bound to be great people, but is measured in how hard you want something, or how many times you've fallen only to get back up again. Thats what makes someone truly successful.
   

            (And a hint, sometimes its your friends and family that measure how great you are, not your first place ribbons.)

Sorry for the quotes below,  I really like the one that says to live is very rare, because most people just think their living, but they don't actually take the time to live to their potential.

Quote to live by

This days quote:

 I like this quote because to me it means that right now you may not appreciate everyday things, like how the water looks as you dive in you how it feels to go to school, but when you grow up it might not matter weather you got this important thing, it will matter how you experienced it.
