Don’t think that saving a tree will not save the world, we are all interrelated. Just like a looking at the origination of a piece of paper, a paper come from a tree.  A tree needed water, sunshine and air to growth. Trees needed sunshine, human cannot growth without sunshine too.  Therefore the loggers cannot survive without sunshine.  In the eyes of a Bodhisattva, we should not only see a piece of papers as paper. We should see deeper into it, without the loggers, we cannot use this piece of paper.  Without the bread or foods for the logger, the logger cannot survive. So, we should feel gratitude on the bread or the food.   Without the wheat, the bread cannot be make.  So, we should feel gratitude to the wheat.  Without the farmers, the wheat will not be able to be make to bread. So, we should feel gratitude to the farmers.  The cycle going on until even a spoon or a folk, the person who make the spoon or folk, we should feel gratitude to them as everyone use them.  Everyone in this society is interrelated and we should feel gratitude to them.  So, in a piece of paper, we should see the whole living being inside. So, saving a piece of papers through resource recycling could save the world !

haSince the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the concentrations of many of the greenhouse gases have increased. The concentration of CO₂ has increased by about 100 ppm (i.e., from 280 ppm to 380 ppm in 2007). The first 50 ppm increase took place in about 200 years, from the start of the Industrial Revolution to around 1973; the next 50 ppm increase took place in about 33 years, from 1973 to 2006.  This figure show an alarming rate of increase of 50 ppm CO₂ from 200 years to 33 years.   

1)       A GHG (Green House Gases) level of 650 ppm would “likely” warm the global climate by around 3.6° C, 750 ppm would lead to 4.3° C, 1000 ppm would lead to 5.5° C. 

2)      A climate change report predicts that sea levels will increase between 7 and 23 inches by 2100 if the ice sheets continue to melt as temperature rises.  Rising seas would erode more beaches and threaten coastal areas.

We know that carbon dioxide raises Earth’s temperature. We know that the temperature has already risen. We know that tomorrow we will emit more carbon dioxide than we did today. The ice is melting, the seas are rising, the temperature is increasing, and the storms are wreaking more and more havoc are coming. 

But do we know that it’s time for us to wake up and take action to reduce carbon dioxide around us.  Save the trees, you could save the forest.  Save the forest, you could save the mountain. Save the mountain, you could save the sea.  Save the sea, you could Save the World  !
