Panda-monium

Yup, take a good long look at that cute little panda, chewing at its leaves...'cos it's endangered, and you might only have pictures like that to remind yourself of the Giant Panda.
"Threatened, Endangered.". That's the Giant Panda's conservation status. Do you want it to become extinct? There are only an estimated 2,000-3,000 Giant Pandas left in the world now. Can you just imagine 50, 60 years down the road?
We are partly responsible for global warming, which caused animals like the Giant Panda to become endangered - some have no place to call home because it's too hot for them to live in their old homes. Don't you think you should play your part? Here's how.
Conserve energy,(meaning, don't waste it, not don't use it at all. Just cut down) turn off appliances when they're not being used, and DO NOT put appliances on standby mode. You may think that this helps to save energy, and you're doing your part, but think instead about how much more you could help Mother Earth by turning them off completely. By going just a little further, you could really help.
