Dear Shopper
We love planet earth and the thousands of spectacular places one can visit and capture images of. Showing your images of these beautiful places will encourage conservation and the push for clean energy. M-ROCK believes strongly in clean energy because carbon dioxide traps heat and helps regulate the temperature of planet earth’s climate. 350 parts per million is what scientists claim makes a safe and livable atmosphere. From running our vehicles, powering industry, heating and cooling our buildings and burning the rainforests we are responsible for pumping over seven million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere a day from burning fossil fuels. The 350 parts of carbon dioxide per million has been exceeded and humanity is speeding up global warming too quickly with 2010 the hottest year on record. M-ROCK believes in personal responsibility and it is the power of the many through conservation, involvement and local political pressure that ultimately gets results. Take a look at the links below and maybe one of them will be of interest to you.

Use Canvas Bags, ban plastic bags! Here is why.
Things You Can Do
The atmosphere in relation to the size of our planet is like one thin layer of paint around a soccer ball. Over 70 million tons of heat trapping carbon dioxide from human activities is pumped into our atmosphere ever day. Sooner of later there has to be an effect. Energy demand will continue to rise sharply as third world countries develop and the human population continues to rise sharply in a very short time span. Facts are facts no matter what your political views are and clean technology has to be the way forward, if we want our children to have a future to look forward to!
