STOP RHINO POACHING NOW!

The rhino poaching epidemic in Southern Africa has got to the point where we are losing animals on an almost daily basis.A total of 333 rhinos were illegally killed in South Africa in 2010, including ten critically endangered black rhinos, according to national park officials. The yearly total is the highest ever experienced in South Africa and nearly triple 2009 when 122 Kruger National Park was hit the harhinos were killed in the country.rdest losing 146 rhinos to poaching in 2010; the park is home to the largest populations of both white and black rhinos in the country.
 Rhino poaching across Africa has risen sharply in the past few years, threatening to reverse hard-won population increases achieved by conservation authorities during the 20th century.
Due to the above mentioned problem of rhino poaching the public relations practitioners took a futher step on creating emphasis more to peoples mind to stop poaching because that destroys the lifes of our living animals.We as the public realations practitioners we are assisting our environment and animals to live a happily life style ,and be well treated in a good manner. They then started on a project called Earth Organization,The Earth Organization is an independent, non-profit group which seeks to reverse the dwindling spiral of the plant and animal kingdoms and our environment through education and action.The Earth Organization’s mission is to bring education to people all over the world and to effectively change man’s relationship with the plant and animal kingdoms.The Earth Organization is rolling out a program to assist in the fight to save our rhinos in South Africa.the public relations practitioners  said that there is no “silver bullet” to handle the rhino crisis. We have therefore taken a multi-pronged approach to fighting this dreadful scourge.

The project will roll out as follows:

  • The Earth Organization is setting up a whistle blowers fund to reward individuals for the report and conviction of poachers. Thus making it more valuable to expose poachers than to assist them
  •  Education will continue around the game reserves to bring understanding of the value of rhino and the importance of biodiversity to human survival.
  • The Earth Organization will work with like-minded organizations to increase the force against poaching syndicates and continue to put pressure on government to address the issue as a matter of national importance.

Loving your environment by recyling

 Recycling refers to the process of collecting used materials which are usually considered as 'waste' and reprocessing them. In this process these used materials are sorted and processed to be used as 'raw materials' for the production of new products. Recycling varies from 'reuse' in the sense that while reuse just means using old products repeatedly, recycling means using the core elements of an old product as raw material to manufacture new goods.
 Some of the most common items that are recycled are plastic, glass, paper, batteries, aluminum, etc.The recycling process involves three stages. In the first stage the old products are collected and processed, where they are sorted, cleaned and made ready for recycling or manufacturing new products. The second stage involves the manufacturing of new products from the raw material obtained by the processing of the old products. Finally, the process ends with the purchasing of recycled goods by the consumers. The more people step forward to buy recycled products, the better the success of the recycling process can be ensured. Buying recycled products will only increase when every individual will develop an awareness of the difference that can be made by utilizing their old household objects as raw materials to produce new goods and help the environment by recycling

Interesting Recycling Facts

  •    It is said that every person creates around 4.7 pounds of waste every day.

      
  •    In the United States about 33.4% solid waste is recycled, 12.6% is burned in combustion facilities and about 54% is disposed of at a landfill site.

     
  •  Recycling an aluminum can preserves enough energy required to run a 100-watt bulb for 20 hours, a computer for 3 hours or a TV for 2 hours. Isn't it an interesting fact about recycling.
  •  About 125 recycled aluminum cans save up enough energy required to supply power to one home for 1 day.
  • Recycled aluminum cans, are ready for reuse in just six weeks!
  •  An amazing recycling fact about glass is that it never wears out and can be recycled forever. A glass bottle takes approximately 1 million years to decompose in a landfill site.
  •  A recycled glass bottle can save enough energy to run a computer for 25 minutes.
  •  Recycled glass containers can save about 9 gallons of fuel.

    Benefits of recycling:
    • Recycling protects and expands manufacturing jobs and increases U.S. competitiveness.
    • Recycling reduces the need for landfilling and incineration.
    • Recycling prevents pollution caused by the manufacturing of products from virgin materials.
    • Recycling saves energy.
    • Recycling decreases emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change.
    • Recycling helps sustain the environment for future generations
    It is important for us to take care of our environment and making sure that it is clean ,from this blog you begin to learn on more tips of recyling and how can it be beneficial to you as reader. 
     If we do not recycle, the repercussions will fall on future generations. Our children and grandchildren will inherit the legacy of virgin production and throw-away consumption.Love your nature as you love yourself!
