Hello fundraising family I'm Eric. And I'm Julia. And today we're going to talk
to you about how to save the planet. Because it's important. And it's the only
one we got right now. It's true. So why is it important? First things
first, we have a couple facts about what's going on on the planet today. So, as
many of you probably know if you've been following the news, for a couple years
now there's been devastating wildfires in California and right now it's burning
to the ground as we speak. As we speak. Also in California seems like there is
random power outages occurring all over the state. And globally, emissions
continue to rise. Speaking of rising there is heat waves
and flooding that continue to occur all over the place. Yeah it's almost November
and it's like 90 degrees outside here in Florida. It'll be 80 next week but still that's hot.
It's hot. Super hot. We're really hot. November whoo. Hot. So what can you do to fix these
things? Well, we got some ideas for you.
So, to save the planet we're going to need everybody to take part. This is
governments, corporations and nonprofits and you are a non-profit or fundraiser.
So how can you help out? Very easily by raising awareness. The debate on climate
change is basically over. Governments are recognizing it, scientists are finally
recognizing it and we have a guide to help you to be a green liver. So, make sure
you click on that guide down below and I have a picture right now you can see it
you can see me right now something I'm doing this. So, here's also a couple ideas
on what to do to be green. So, one of the things that you guys can do to help save
the planet is to recycle every single day. And, one of the ways you can do that
is by doing a shoe drive fundraiser. The average American throws away 81 pounds
every year of clothing and shoes. And shoes alone can take 30 to 40 years to
biodegrade. And 70 percent of the people in the world use repurposed textiles.
So, how can this help you and how can this help to planet? Well, you can do a
shoe drive fundraiser for your school, church, a non-profit, community
organization. Anyone. For yourself. Anyone can do a shoe drive fundraiser. Yup. You
collect gently worn, used and new shoes and then we will write you a check for the
shoes that you collect and we will send the shoes to our micro-enterprise
partners in developing nations. Yeah so it doesn't just save you and the planet, it
also helps save a family that's in need. And your shoes are kept out of
landfills and they're repurposed by micro-entrepreneurs and they give people
the opportunity to travel in developing countries because the majority of people
don't have cars and they have to walk. Another simple way that you can help
save the planet is to wear a sweater in your home, or wear less layers if it's
too hot. By keeping emissions down and keeping
your AC set at a certain level, usually 72 to 74 degrees, you help out the entire
planet by using less power, which helps with the emissions from the power plants.
Speaking of reducing emissions, another great way that you can help is by
ride-sharing, or walking to work, or using Ubers or Lyfts. Bikes, or skateboards, or
what are they called? Wheelies. Or wheelies if you want to use wheelies. Oh the shoes with the wheels on them. Oh my god I used to have those when I was a kid. That's how I used to grocery shop. Yeah wheelies. Whatever skates, what ever
you want to use. No they're called Heelys. Heelys. Heelys. You do wheelies on Heelys. Shoutout to Heelys.
My childhood. Another great way to reduce the carbon footprint is to reduce
plastics. So, go to work, go to school during the day bring silverware from
home. Don't use plastic silverware, don't use plastic bottles, don't use plastic
cups. Use bottles like this. It's a Swell bottle. My water stays cold from today
until tomorrow it's great. You can also get metal straws, you can bring your own
cup to wherever you're going. There's a billion ways to help reduce plastics.
And another thing you can reduce is junk mail.
Everybody gets junk mail it's super annoying whether it's to you, or to your
neighbor, to somebody else you just happen to get all this junk in your
mailbox, it's annoying. An easy way to get rid of it is there's services like TrustedID
that can help you to reduce the amount of junk mail you get so you're saving
trees, and paper, and plastic because a lot of those are laminated. Either way, it
helps out the environment. And, speaking of planting trees a great way to help is to
plant trees. So, your school can have a garden or your community organization
can plant some trees. Another great way to get involved with planting trees
before the new year starts is by donating to Jimmy Donaldson's YouTube
campaign, which I'm sure a lot of you guys know him as MrBeast. So
how is he gonna do it? All through donations. So, you guys can go online, you
guys can make a donation to the cause get behind it and other celebrities and
a bunch of other YouTubers are getting behind this so go on make a donation and
do your part to help plant more trees. Or just plant a tree. In your backyard.
Where ever just put up a tree. Now, another easy way to save the
environment is to look for Energy Star appliances. Everybody has appliances in
their house via the microwave, a toaster oven or refrigerator, make sure you look
for the Energy Star logo because it does help reduce the amount energy you use.
And, speaking of that, if you've never heard of phantom power drawing it's a
really big thing that a lot of people aren't aware of. Whenever you have an
item plugged into the wall whether or not it's on it still draws power. So, to
reduce this from happening you can look for phantom power strips. Go on to Amazon,
go to Best Buy go wherever. By buying them what it does is it actually shuts
off power to any appliance that's not actually on and using power and it helps
reduce your carbon footprint and saves you a couple bucks every month. Hopefully
these ideas helped you out and hopefully it will help out the environment.
Hopefully it will save our planet so we don't have to be like in WALL-E looks. I don't want to live in one of those little seats.
That looks weird. W'll have a bunch of links down to help you guys get started with
reducing the carbon footprint and doing your part. In saving the planet. In saving
the planet. Because we are Captain Planet. No we're not. Anyways, my name is Eric.
And I'm Julia. We'll see you again next time. Bye.
