School Supplies for your kids

We all know that school is just around the corner, and kids need supplies.  Pencils are in demand, and a lot of pencil packages don't have reforested pencils.  If we continue to buy normal pencils that aren't reforested, it uses up a lot of trees.  Check out the list below if you're into Eco-friendly supplies.

Energy Projects

In Europe, there is a project called Renewable Energy Policy Action Paving the Way towards 2020.  This finalised project is one of many by the EREC(European Renewable Energy Council).  China has renewable energy property equalling to over $40 billion dollars.  Beijing has a renewable energy goal of 15 percent in 17 years and 30 to 45 percent in 37 years.  Since China is the world's number one country manufacturer, adding more and more renewable energy property won't add any more pollution.  India now has solar and wind projects, and has made improvement in accustoming to solar and wind energy, and expanding solar and wind farms.  Gujarat and other states in India have donated to the wind and solar energy project to show that they approve of India using renewable energy.  Of course, there are many other projects in different countries, but just mentioning these projects show that the world is trying to keep Earth a sustainable place to live, and that using renewable energy is becoming more popular.
