"We're the Planeteers, and you can be one too 'cuz saving our planet is the thing to do!"

For all of us to experience prosperity, abundance, and joy ongoingly into the future we must care for one another and our planet.

This should include reuse and repair of our belongings (good clothes, bicycles, devices, etcetera) to make these last as long as possible.

Any loss to our sustainability is a loss to all of us and may even be not recuperable.

If we purchase a coffee cup and then throw it into a black plastic "trash" bag which may then be hauled to a landfill where it would decay ... if we do this it is wasteful of plastic bags, truck fuel and maintenance costs, and of the cup itself.

We should not fail ourselves like that. We must not waste so if we are to live happily and healthily far into the future.

Rather, we should do such as reuse grocery bags and purchase a durable, toxic-free container for beverages and continue reusing and repairing them if and as needed.

Additionally, we should only support conscientious restaurants (and those starting to make foresighted and wise efforts), people who wash and reuse everything used by their customers and who offer only truly good, "organic" food with no deleterious-to-health ingredients (e.g. "sunflower lecithin", "monosodium glutamate", "high fructose corn syrup", etcetera).

Likewise, we should refrain from using "Styrofoam" "to go boxes" and plastic bags (which  could degrade in sunlight and would then disrupt the health of plants in earth unstopped) at grocery and retail stores.

We can buy the affordable reusable bags now common at stores such as Walmart. 

All of us making a spirited effort in keeping with the (non-violent) ethos of the "Captain Planet" show "taking pollution down to zero" (video above) adds up greatly, tremendously for the ongoing benefit of all Gaian life, the flora and fauna upon this third planet from our star.

Make us prouder, don't crump out either and put your oar in too! *
