Every year in the United States, thousands of people die of meningococcal meningitis and many more experience serious complications from this disease. Other people may develop pneumococcal meningitis. In both cases, most of those affected are children under the age of 5. Meningitis is an infection and inflammation of the membranes (meninges) and fluid (cerebrospinal fluid) surrounding your brain and spinal cord. Meningitis is most often caused by bacteria or viruses. Bacterial meningitis is usually much more serious than viral meningitis.
"We all have heard the pitch about how global warming is destroying the earth but many us do not believe it or don’t think they personally can do anything to help solve the problems. From this point on we thought of a motivator so people could start taking small steps all on their own that would eventually save them money in the long run. So we said lets use money as a motivator to help restore the earth we live in."
