DIY Sunday! T-Shirt Tote Bag!

 

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 old T-shirt (any size, the thicker the better)

  • A pair of scissors

Steps:

  1. Lay your shirt flat.
    Smooth it out on a table or the floor. Make sure the front and back are lined up.

  2. Cut off the sleeves.
    Cut around both armholes. These will become the bag’s handles.

  3. Cut out the neck hole.
    Cut a semi-circle around the neck to make the top opening of your bag — just like a tank top.

  4. Make the fringe.
    At the bottom of the shirt, cut small vertical slits (about 1–2 inches long) all the way across. Front and back. You should have a fringe now!

  5. Tie it up.
    Take each pair of front and back fringe strips and tie them together in a tight double knot. This closes the bottom of the bag.

  6. Test it!
    Tug gently to make sure no holes are left. Ta-da! You just made your own reusable tote.

How to Use It:

  • Carry groceries, snacks, or books

  • Take it to the market or store instead of using plastic bags

  • Decorate it with markers, patches, or pins to show your style

Why It’s Eco-Friendly:

  • Gives old clothes a new purpose instead of throwing them away

  • Replaces single-use plastic bags

  • Can be reused hundreds of times

Are humans the only causes for global warming?

 Hi guys! Today, we'll be inquiring into a very popular question: are humans the only causes for global warming?

Answer: Human and natural factors both influence the earth's climate, but the long-term trend observed over the past century can only be explained by the effect of human activities on climate. Humans are the primary cause of modern global warming, but not the only factor influencing Earth’s climate.  

Natural Factors that impact global warming: 

  • Changes in the Sun's Activity:

The sun's energy output varies over time, which can influence Earth's climate. 

  • Volcanic Eruptions:

Large volcanic eruptions can release dust and aerosols into the atmosphere, temporarily cooling the planet.  

  • Earth's Orbit:

Variations in Earth's orbit can alter the amount of solar radiation received by the planet, leading to long-term climate changes. 

  • Natural Greenhouse Effect:

The Earth naturally has a greenhouse effect, where greenhouse gases trap heat and keep the planet warm enough to support life. 

Human Activities that impact global warming:

  • Burning Fossil Fuels:

Burning coal, oil, and natural gas releases large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. 

  •  Deforestation:

Trees absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, so deforestation reduces this carbon sink and contributes to increased atmospheric CO2 levels. 

  • Industrial Processes:

Many industrial processes also release greenhouse gases, contributing to the overall warming trend.  

  • Agriculture:

Livestock farming and the use of fertilizers release methane and nitrous oxide, powerful greenhouse gases.

  • Landfill Waste:

Decomposing waste in landfills generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas. 

  • Transportation:

Burning fossil fuels in vehicles releases CO2 and other pollutants, contributing to global warming.
