ARE YOU EARTH FRIENDLY ! Well if you asked me that question I would say yes and no. On my quiz I got 5 for yes and 5 for no. it is basically like I'm not here Some things I do are walk or ride my bike instead of catching a ride,I find new ways to use old things,andi close the windows when the air coditining or heat is on Some things I don’t do though is take quick showers, my family does not carpool, and I don’t bring bags to stores

What can you do with a 2 litter bottel?well here is an idea! One thing you can do is make it into a 50 watt light bulb.all you have to do is get the bottle filled with clean water.than you put 2 cap sizes of bleach in it. Make sure to put a camera lid over It the cap to protect it from the sun.than all you have to do is put it somewhere and your done. I learned this at wisebread.com

THE 3 R’S Most people know the three r’s!if you don’t well than your about to find out! REDUCE-to not use that much of something REUSE-to use an old object instead of buying a replacement RECYCLE-instead of throwing away stuff put it in the recycling bin so that it can be turned into a new object If I made a 4 th r it would be remember- remember the rest of the r’s.this is important because if you forget these you can not put them in action

Since I told you all these things about helping our environment we have to put them in action At school you can put your water bottles in the recycling bin! In your community you can volunteer to pick up litter on the side off the road – At home you can turn the lights off when you are not using them These are some ways to make a difference

Do you know if we recycle 1 ton of papers we can save 17 trees 17 trees may not seem that much but 17 trees can give 17 animals a home. One tree = one animal so try to recycle

How about if we recycled half of the worlds paper? How many acres would that be It would be 20 million acres of forest would be saved Once again 1 tree = 1 animal That means more than 20 million animals will be saved

How many pounds of plastic does America throw away yearly? 20 billion pounds of plastic are thrown away only In america each year When that plastic gets to the ocean it kills thousands of animals
