Happy Earth Day from Love Panda!
CUTE BRANDS & LOVE PANDA have a mission to make the World a better place by supporting THE CONSERVATION OF OUR PLANET - 1 WORLD, 1 HOME and by being SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE & CHARITABLE, making donations to charities and not-for-profit organizations that help protect and preserve endangered animals and the environment.
The first Earth Day celebration took place 48 years ago, in 1970, after a devastating oil spill in America brought environmental issues to the forefront of public consciousness. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 22 million people across the country came out in support of environmental reform.
Ten Simple Things You Can Do Today to Help Protect the Earth:
- Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three "R's" to conserve natural resources and landfill space.
- Volunteer. Volunteer for cleanups in your community.
- Educate. When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of our natural resources.
- Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.
- Choose sustainable. Learn how to make smart seafood choices at www.fishwatch.gov.
- Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
- Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light switch off when you leave the room!
- Plant a tree. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change.
- Don't send chemicals into our waterways. Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.

Spring has Sprung: Time for Baby Cuteness!
It’s spring! And spring is the best. Here’s why: flowers, Easter eggs and baby animals. Spring is about new beginnings, change and growth. We share the earth with a wide variety of animal species, each of which brings something special to the diversity of the planet.
In a lot of ways spring is the perfect time for babies to be born. Organisms generally time especially stressing events of reproduction to occur in sync with increases in food availability. A lot of animals are seasonal breeders and successfully mate only during certain times of the year. These times of year allow for the optimization of survival of young due to factors such as ambient temperature, food and water availability, and changes in the predation behaviors of other species. Mother mammals usually need better, richer food to produce quality milk for their babies to nurse. For grazing animals like cattle, sheep, and horses, the fresh green grass and other plants on pasture in spring and early summer are rich in nutrients. These plants can have a higher percentage of protein and ‘total digestible nutrients’. This can lead to better milk production for the babies.
Spring is also a good time for babies to be born because the days become longer and temperatures rise. With the warmer weather it is easier for the baby to survive. There is less chance of harsh weather. Just like humans, animals need to be protected from severe weather. Because spring is such a good time of year for babies, many animals evolved to accommodate these natural cycles. Isn't this natural mechanism so clever? Wild animals are much like ours able to recognize self, plan, communicate and solve problems.

Love Panda - Astronaut in Training! Planning to Conquer New Frontiers in 2018!
The word astronaut comes from the Greek word “Astron” which means star and “nautes” which means sailor. Space exploration is mysterious and beautiful. Love Panda is a Cute and Happy Earth Ambassador ready to spread the message of love and kindness to other Worlds and extraterrestrial civilizations.
Below are some fun facts about space - the final frontier! Learning about space is very exciting and interesting.
Did you know: There are thousands of other planets out there?
We have eight planets in our Solar System. However, outside of our Solar System there are thousands of other planets. The extra-solar planets or exo-planets are in orbit around another star. So far we have almost 1800 confirmed new worlds, with another 3000 awaiting confirmation. Astronomers are looking to a star’s goldilocks zone for planets that may be habitable, just like the Earth. The majority of planets discovered so far are hot gas giant planets.
Did you know: On Venus a day is longer than a year?
This is tricky one to get your head around but a year on Venus (that is the length of time it takes to complete one whole orbit around the Sun) is 224.7 Earth days. However it takes 243 Earth days to rotate on its axis just once.
Did you know: One million Earths can fit inside the Sun?
Ancient astronomers once believed the Earth was at the centre of the Universe but now we know that the Sun is at the centre of our Solar System and our planets orbit the Sun. The Sun makes up 99.8% of the entire mass of the whole Solar System. One million Earths would be needed to be the same size as the Sun.
Did you know: The hottest planet is not the closest planet to the Sun?
Even though Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, it is not actually the hottest. Mercury does not have any atmosphere meaning that this planet is only hot in the daytime when it is directly facing the Sun. At this stage temperatures can rise to 425°C but at night the planet’s temperature can drop down to a freezing -180°C. Venus is the hottest planet. Its thick clouds trap the Sun’s heat causing Venus to be a sizzling 500°C all of the time!
Did you know: In space metal sticks together?
In a vacuum like space, when two pieces of metal touch each other they bond together. This is a process called cold welding. On the Earth because of the oxygen in our environment this does not happen naturally but it is used during some manufacturing processes. It is something to take into account but it is not usually a problem as the astronaut’s tools maintain an oxide layer even when leaving Earth.
