Going Green

by Crystal from Kent

The time of going green is now! Help the world become cleaner and heather. We can do the simplest task to help our planet. Going green and helping out your community would make a huge change in the world.

Our world is slowly dying; we are killing our world by using the simplest materials of everyday life. We use factories to make supplies and we use cars to drive around. The fumes from the cars and factories are very harmful to our earth’s ozone. So the more air pollution from the factories and cars the thinner our ozone gets. We can help this problem by walking or riding a bike to work instead of cars. Another idea to help this problem is to make some homemade items instead of manufactured items. There are other issues in the world such as littering. All the trash is building up in our forest and on lake banks which slowly kill the animals. We can fix our laziness with the trash if everyone helped out to try to make the world cleaner and healthier.

If everyone around the world helped out there community then the world would slowly clean up. People can pick up trash on the sides of the streets or roads and on the rim of lakes and woods. Less trash on the ground mean a less chance of the birds and other small animals to choke on it. Another way we can help the world become cleaner is to wash off the graffiti off walls and trains. Washing off the graffiti doesn’t only make the community cleaner it also makes it look safer as well. Along with helping your community you can also go green to help the world even more.

Go Green is a major thing that people can do to help the world. One way you can go green is to recycle plastics, paper, and glass. The less glass, paper, and plastics in the landfill the less we have to worry about disposing of. Another way you can go green is using energy efficient materials such as energy saving light bulbs. The energy efficient light bulbs don’t need that much energy to run them. This means we don’t have to find harmful ways to make more energy that we really don’t need. So using less energy means we don’t have to rely on the harmful nuclear plants that are very harmful to the earth’s atmosphere.

Mixing both going green and helping out your own community is going to make a huge impact on the world. We can do the simplest task that will slowly help the world. Plus if you look like you’re enjoying helping your planet. Plus if you look like you’re enjoying helping the world you live on then other people might want to join you. You never know what can happen when you use your own two hands.
