"On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was held. People made promises to help the environment. Everyone got involved and since then, Earth Day has spread all over the planet. People all over the world know that there are problems we need to work on and this is our special day to look at the planet and see what needs changing. What are you doing to improve our planet? What can be done immediately? Are there certain regulations at USB to make Sartenejas "green"? How eco-friendly are you? Take this quiz to find out and tell us about your results.
For more ideas on Earth Day go to National Geographic or play a vocabulary game for kids

"Going Green
Like most of us, you’re dipping your toes into the “green” pond, trying to figure out the eco-solutions for your family. Every change you make is one more step towards a smaller “footprint” on Earth. But we can all improve, so visit the EPA’s website and find new ways to make a difference. Retake this test in a few weeks to see if you’ve improved."..
I think the most important thing at this moment is to change the way we think.. we believe the earth is a renewable resource and that is not true.. the atmosphere is a good example of this.. the Global Warming cause changes in the weather, the wildlife and other stuff! and is an irreversible problem now.. so we have to change and realize that we have to be careful with our planet and cooperate!.. like recycling for example!...

Well.. In my opinion, days like this most be celebrate everyday, because its time that everyone of people in the world to make a port a sand grain. The world is in damage and the only way to safe it is to have a enviroment mind. The humans are not only afecting, the animals and plants too, for that we most think in the future of the earth, in our future and our kids. All people most be cooperate with care of our planet

I think that in Venezuela people don't really take care from their planet. All our garbage go together, we are used to ride always our cars (i mean fuel is almost for free...), in supermarkets are always plastic bags and things like this can easily be found in our daily day. In my opinion, it would be great to make a big campain around the country to make people realize how important is to save our planet
Hi, my result:
Green Gal
You reduce, reuse, AND recycle—and you’re teaching your children by example. You’ve got the guts it takes to go green in most areas of your life, because you care about your family’s impact on future generations. But we can all improve, so visit the EPA’s website and find new ways to make a difference. Retake this test in a few weeks to see if you’ve improved.
I think that this result its chord with me; since we start to hear the global warming problem i start to take all the necessary measures to help the earth... i think that if all of us pay more attetion to all that little measures and apply them day by day, the earth will heal so much faster
"Earth Day" We have to remember all the things that the earth gave us. Is so important think that our acctions affects the earth, the nature, the enviroment... so we have to work in this. We have to change our mind and learn to use all the recourses that the earth have, but in correct way.
Is our responsability take care about the big problems that the contamination, for example produces on the enviroment, on our health, on our planet... We can work on the schools, the comunity or colleges to encourage the concience to recycling and with that we will be demonstrating that is posible a change for the earth..!

The International Day of our planet is very important and in my opinion this should not be the only one in which we remember the negative effects that our existence and lack of conscience is causing it.
We must remember that we only have one home and care is essential and do everything possible to lessen the damage that consciously or unconsciously we have been caused, due to mainly technological development.
For example, natural phenomena as the Greenhouse Effect has been increased brutally resulting in damaging consequences such as Global Warming, caused by the uncontrolled increase of CFCs, this imbalance is our responsibility and depends on us to avoid that this situation continues to evolve...
Sufficient reasons to take conscience and demonstrate that really we care our planet Earth with deeds and actions, which is not something superficial, that we really have the disposition to act to profit of nature and its wonders.

I really like all the ways the people take to save the planet, and Im totally agree. However, sometimes the most of the people in the word dont have the time or the money to changes their lives that way. But we can do at least a little thing for our planet
My result was: Going Green, Like most of us.
It's certain that we know the problems that affect our planet; but even knowing this, we are few those that we helped.
I'm not a person 100% ecologist, but I'm conscious. I think that is not necessary to be a enviromentalist, nevertheless to make small things like recycle, saving energy, etc., we can protect our planet.
I believe that until the human being does not fall into that land is a non-renewable resource and that if we continue like we are going to destroy the future of many people who were not born yet, we can not solve problems, we must change our mindset .. and not only ourselves but also propose to fully recover the land ...
There are different places where you can register to work and put our bit to help save the land of man ...
I think this celebration day is a really good idea. Because there are many problems in our earth, that must be solved as soon as possible. So if people don’t care about them, many problems will begin or become worst.
Two years ago, I had the chance to travel to Montreal and I saw the recycling process and I really was in shuck because it was really organized, well done and it was usual and normal for everyone. At the first time it was kind of weird to me because I wasn’t used to that activity. But I think it is an amazing activity, because they get good results from it. For example in Montreal, the government pays a monthly fee to the people that recycle. You can drink water from the tap that means that they have a really good water system (The water is been well prosecuted)
In must Argentina`s supermarkets you have to pay for the bags, that’s a really good idea because if you have them free like here in Venezuela you always take many bags. But if you have to pay them, you´ll think it and buy what is really necessary or take a cloth bag every time that you go to the supermarket.
I guess that the USB has a recycling process, but I don’t know exactly how it works. I just have seen the recycling cans in the Library and in front of Auditoriums. I believe that there are many ways to save our planet, which have been improved all over the world since some years ago and must be improved here in Venezuela as quickly as possible.

Good job, Romina, Patricia, Ma. Jose, Fabiana, Mayerlin, Jhoelis, Georgina, Miguel P., Marielis, Carla.
As we all become more aware of the dangers our planet faces and that with a little help from each one of us, there can be a huge change in our environment, there is still hope.
La constante contaminación de la tierra nos esta afectando poco a todos sin darnos cuenta, en lo cual hay que recapacitar y tomar conciencia rápidamente no solo por nosotros que apenas somos unos chamos sino tambien en las otras generaciones que vendran donde tambien estarán nuetros hijos... Un hecho mas reciente es el que esta pasando con los osos polares que estan muriendo debido a que las crias de las focas( su fuente de alimento ) no sobreviven porque los bloques de hielo donde permanecen las primeras semanas de vida para adquirir la grasa corporal de su cuerpo necesaria para sobrevivir a las frías aguas se estan derritiendo. Esta situación es mas grave de lo que pensamos y creo que lo primero que debemos controlar y reducir son los desperdicios y toneladas de basura que se producen diariamente y tambien el humo de los vehículos... Hay que fijarse en la universidad e inspirarse en ella, ¿que bonito seria nuestro pais si cada rincon estuviese igual de cuidado y limpio como esta verdad? entonces pensemos en ella cada vez que tiremos un papel al piso o usemos cosas innecesariamente
My result was: Going green…
Earth day, excellent day that remain us the big importance of our planet. Normally, many people in this day try to make actions to protect the environment, or do the same things they do every day but trying to recycle or not to pollute or damage the environment.
Unfortunately humans just do activities like these in the earth day, the rest of the year we continue contaminating and we totally forget that the earth every day is more in dangerous for the continue pollution that we cause and that the planet needs us every day, not just a single day, so it is important to create consciousness among the population to make this a better and a healthier world.
The earth is our home and so we must care for her. Earth Day is celebrated for giving the world the importance it deserves, but this does not seem enough.
The USB is an institution worthy of admiring in regard to environmental care, just to see it inspires you to preserve our habitat, be it a result of this.
My conduct in the preservation of the environment responds to the needs of this, such as: put trash in its place, save energy by unplugging appliances after use, among others.

Well boys, lately i have not been helping much the Earth:/..but
I think that we should be working harder and continuosly in the collecting and recycling of waste such as glass, paper, cardboard, plastic, etc; as a small solution to the problem of accumulations of trash and another things linked to caring of the our planet.

I THINK...The most important thing now, is change the way of people think, including me, but I guess, if persons like me with a "Going green life" put a little part of their life on our complete planet, we will have a green earth, with a good environment and of course, we could have a better life.
The earth is our, if we do not take care about all that planet gave us, we will lost everything, slowly...

hello, my score was of 54%, i don't remenber the rest.
i'm going green.
creo q a muchos nos a salido esto, pero es que hay cosas tan sencillas para ayudar al planeta!.Si todos los venezolanos desconectaramos los cargadores al terminar de cargar los celulares y/o laptos o apagaramos los monitores de las computadoras ayudariamos de una manera MUY significativa l planeta!..
this is a very important day for us to remember that this planet is our home, this is where we live and if we make damage to it, we are the ones who will suffer the consequences. And also we have to care about our planet every day not only in he earth day

In my opinion is very important to conserve the Earth because is the only house that we have right now. I think that the best way to help the Earth is to create campaigns explaining the easy ways to help the global warming.
I think this is a very important day in all the world but many people don't pay attention on it. I think that we must be care of it because we are destroying the environment.

Well according to my results, I think I am putting a little bit je to save our planet, but I believe that large industries should be aware on the extensive damage they are causing to the environment and in its subsequent consequences. Many can be devastating.
My result was going green. I think that this quiz is very interesting to see how many of us take care of the nature, as we know, it's being destructed by the humans everyday. So it is necesary to change the way of think of many of us which didn't pay attention in the damage that they are causing.
