At Tree Limin’ Extreme, we pride ourselves
on being eco-friendly. It is important to us to preserve not only St. Thomas,
but also the whole world’s natural beauty. We believe in doing our part by
educating whomever we can about our earth’s eco system and the way we effect
it.
Now
here are some interesting “Fun Eco-Facts”:
Every day, on average, a family of four
will use 400 gallons of water. Out of those 400 gallons, 45% of the water is
used in the bathroom and a whopping 27% by the toilets alone.
Our earth has about 71% of its surface
covered in water, but only 1% of the earth’s water supply is usable. 97% of all
earth’s water makes up the oceans and 2% is frozen.
14 billion pounds of trash and roughly
5 million tons of oil produced worldwide winds up in the ocean every year. This is harmful for the ocean’s entire ecosystem.

Speaking of recycling, aluminum cans can be recycled using less than 5% of the
energy used to make the original product. They can also
be recycled an unlimited number of times! That’s great news considering it
takes 500 years for aluminum to decompose. Just think, if Benjamin Franklin
threw away his soda can, it will still only be about half way decomposed.
For every ton of paper recycled, 17-20
trees are saved. Also, it unfortunately
takes 75,000 trees to print a Sunday Edition of the New York Times.
The world is a big, beautiful place,
filled with wonder and it’s just waiting to be explored. We hope we can do our part to keep Earth
vibrant and as unsoiled as possible. For part two of this three-part blog post,
we are going to discuss what it is that we do to keep our planet healthy.
