| Important Quote |
| -"Many people believe that we are facing an ecological disaster. Every day we hear horrific statistics: the process seems unstoppable. And the destruction recognizes no national frontiers. I know all this, yet I cannot really comprehend it. I have the simple thought that my day starts differently if, in the morning, the sun is shining and I can gaze upon a tree bursting with strength. It smiles at me and all at once I feel like smiling back."- |
| Arpad Göncz - the President of Hungary |
Being "eco-conscious" means being aware of what you are doing, buying,
using, and what it does to the environment. For example, you might think,
"Using a hairspray bottle is so convenient for fixing my hair." If you
were eco-conscious, though, you'd realize "Does this hairspray bottle have
CFCs in it? Could I be participating in helping to destroy the Earth by
using hairspray?"
