Going Green

Everyone says that they are going green but what are they doing really to save the environment. Many people say that they are helping the world by changing their light bulbs, or using less water and that might be true, but what are they doing to save the environment instead of just helping it.

People that help the environment do the little things. Yet why are we doing little things when we can all do big things. When I hear ``Global warming`` I think of the polar bears that are drowning in the ocean because of someone had to drive to Ottawa or buy a new cell phone. When I think of global warming I think of all of the insects being carried over to unfortunate or even fortunate countries bring deadly diseases. All of these are effects that we bring upon our self.
On Thursday 22 April there was a guest speaker talking about global warming. He really opened my eyes to the reality. This global warming is in some what caused by me. I am causing the oceans to warm up, I am causing more hurricanes, and I am causing droughts and heat waves. But it’s not just me that is causing this, it is you too.


If all of use turned the water off in between shampooing and conditioning, or even car pooled on the way to school it could make a big difference, if we used recycled paper for writing essays or for writing a book. We could make a difference.



LIFE LESSON: We should save our world because it’s the only one we have. And then maybe if we keep going the rate we are going there won’t be one at all.

  1. Great post Kate! I love your attitude you have towards helping our planet. Everyone should think like you. It's really clear to me what you're trying to say. The little things are good, but the bigger things are even better, they make the biggest effect on the environment. Next time, maybe you could explain more what you think about helping the environment. Like, more insight. But great post, anyway! Keep it up!
