Our planet is our home. It's where we live and we are destroying it. With every minute trees are being cut down, factories and cars are polluting. This is called pollution which leads to global warming. We have to deal with global warming, and there ARE ways for regular people to help.
Our family is helping by recycling plastic bags and other things. Recycling is when we take materials that we were going to throw away and put them through a process so they can be reused. We can recycle many things such as paper, plastic, metal, glass and electrical equipment. Did you know that 75% of garbage is recyclable but we only recycle about 30%? Recycling saves energy, is good for the environment, and saves space in landfills. Be helpful and start to recycle.
Almost all of us use cars or busses to get to your destination. But these two things run on gas, gas causes global warming means goodbye planet. But hold on a second, what if there is a way to stop this catastrophe from happening. Well of course there is! Instead of using a car or riding a bus, we can run, walk, or bike to our destination. You are saving the planet and getting exercise. It’s a win-win! Remember to only use cars and busses when you absolutely need to.
We could also plant trees. Trees help cleanse the air by intercepting airborne particles, reducing heat and absorbing such pollutants as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.
Tons of people cut down trees to use them for making paper, furniture, building, firewood, and simply just to make money. Many companies cut down trees and sell them for money, not even caring about the trees. I agree, we need trees for plenty of things, but at least plant 2 trees for every tree that you cut down. You can also just plant trees just for fun.
