to keep earth beautiful we need to reduce climate change which causes hurricanes. hurricanes appear because of warm ocean and earth temperatures resulting in strong uplifting winds - international nature conservation is the only solution to our problem with Earth's climate change and global warming keep earth beautiful is our mission, lower earth temperatures, lower CO2 carbon dioxide levels in Earth atmosphere - nature conservation and protection  is the only affordable way to the challenge of climate change - to keep earth beautiful internationally work, nature education is the only solution environmental facts about earth needed to keep earth beautiful, to reduce global warming. Global warming is causing more floods. weather systems fed by warm oceans and warm land, the air is lifted up, the air temperature gets lower, the air cannot hold the moisture anymore - it rains - nature conservation  with erosion control is one possibility to solve the problem of earth climate change

Keep Earth Beautiful

the future of earth lies in our hands,
without nature conservation we cannot keep earth beautiful, reduce air pollution, reduce global warming, gain sustainability

not destroy Earth and our future!


A good

environmental education

helps us to understand
and to deal with coming changes
and challenges, Earth is facing.

Let's protect Earth

Look how beautiful our blue planet is
look how beautiful earth is. this is the earth south pole - World oceans provide a lot of food for many people, polluted oceans cannot do that, cool water from the south pole has more oxygen, can produce more food for fish. more food for fish leads to more fish equals more sea food for humans - many humans on earth depend on sea food
Earth - South pole
World oceans have provided a lot of food

Earth is beautiful - but Earth is changing!

Earth facts:
Speed orbiting the sun: 66,700 mi per hour = 107,320 km/h
Equatorial circumference: 24,901.45 mi = 40,066.43 km
Polar circumference: 24,855.33 mi = 39,992.22 km
Surface area: 197,000,000 square mi = 510,230,000 sq km
Total land area: 57,900,000 sq mi = 150,100,000 sq km

Water:
97% of the Earth's water is salt water
71% of Earth is covered with oceans

Billions need food out of the oceans.
If we continue to pollute Earth's oceans
this food source will become scarce.


to keep earth beautiful all nations on earth have to work together. Only a worldwide grass root organization can push politicians to work together, to reduce greenhouse gases, lower air pollution,  water contamination, land pollution

All countries have to work together
to keep Earth beautiful!


The mission of
our international Nature education organization
Bear Springs Blossom Nature Conservation
is to keep Earth safe -

to save Earth for the next generation.



We believe that better knowledge about Earth
makes it easier to save Earth.
Better informed people make better decisions!

Nature education helps to save Earth


The main point is to make
a significant dent in climate change -
to lower the CO2 carbon dioxide level,
to bring Earth temperatures
back to 'normal'.

We defend Earth's oceans by challenging
water pollution and
wasteful and destructive fishing.

Work with us to secure
YOUR and YOUR children's future!

Show that you care:
Reduce your electricity use
as much as possible for one hour!

We use Renewable Energy
We show you how to use
Renewable Energy
and we explain WHY

rain forest - our rain forests are endangered - already over two third of rainforests are destroyed
Earth's rainforests produce most of our oxygen.
Rain-forest plants have
the cure for many illnesses.
Rainforests regulate our climate.
If our rainforests are being destroyed
Billions of living beings will die.

We work hard to protect all forests on Earth and the animals, plants and people
that depend on them.
Earth without rainforests would not functioning, would not be beautiful
We work hard to create a toxin free future
with safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals.

We campaign for sustainable agriculture.
We want to protect biodiversity.

Climate change is among the most pervasive
threats to the Earth today.

Earth temperature lets ice melt causing ocean levels to raise causing floods that will kill many humans, nature education helps to survive
A lot of water is bound in ice.
Ice reflects sun light and keeps Earth cooler.
When the ice is melting, sea levels will rise.
When the ice is melting,
many living beings on Earth will die.

Informed people have the power to address
its root causes and limit its impact
on our planet (the only home we have).

Without action, climate change will cause
the extinction of countless species and destroy
some of Earth's most precious ecosystems,
putting billions of Humans at risk.

Do you know
how much water on Earth is drinkable?
Do you know
how much of the oxygen humans need
is produced in our rain forests?

Do you know
why burning fossil fuel changes Earth's climate?

We provide
information needed to understand
our changing Earth climate!

The more you know the more we can do!
Emissions reductions and increases in the
use of energy-efficient technologies are
strongly needed.

arctic summer is longer, more arctic ice is melting
The icy cap over Earth’s North Pole reaches its summer minimum in September and its winter maximum in late February or early March. Satellite observations since 1979 have shown that amount of ice that survives the summer is getting smaller; declines have been especially dramatic in the past decade.
Recently, scientists from NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center described another way Arctic sea ice is changing:
1) The summer melt season is getting significantly longer.

The graphic shows the total average increase in the length of the Arctic sea ice melt season.
Earlier melt onset, later freezes, and longer total melt season. The season of continuous melt ends with the first freeze event of the fall.
According to this analysis,
2) the average length of the continuous melt season in the Arctic increased by 6.4 days per decade between 1979 and 2007. The length of the melt season varies significantly from year to year, but the long-term trend is clear.
3) The scientists say this pattern is consistent with a climate process known as the ice-albedo feedback. Dark ocean water absorbs more sunlight than bright, reflective ice.
Even a small change in the start of the melt season exposes the ocean to more incoming sunlight, which warms the water, which melts more ice, and so on.
4) The more solar energy the ocean absorbs during the summer, the longer it takes in the fall for the water to cool down enough to freeze.
