HI,
ReplyDeleteI liked the green layout of your blog. It matches the title of your blog. The topic you selected is a very good and useful one. manytimes, people are environmentally aware, but they don't know exactly what to do in order to save mother earth. I agree to your point that many times papers go waste. I saw that especially in schools, they send out flyers, out of which all are not important. Every school should have a 'moodle' kind of site to save paper. Your blog is going to bring a lot of awareness in the world. Thank you for giving us tips to save the earth.
Regards.
The tips you supplied in this blog post are amazing! They are so simple and easy to do. Very good job so far. Your tone is relatable and informative. The visuals in your blog are very very appealing to me as a reader. Your blog leaves me wanting to learn more about how to live greener.
