7 EASY WAYS YOU CAN HELP
By: Beth, 10 (aka beth007)
 Do you want to help the Earth but just don’t know
how? Here are 7 easy tips that will help the Earth
out:
- If you have a recycling box, place
extra papers leftover from school, old phone
books, cans, bottles, restaurant bags, etc. in
it. It helps out a lot and clears your room of
unneeded things.
- This tip is easy as long as you have a green
shirt or two. Wear a lot of green shirts or
shirts that encourage people to be Earth
friendly. Also, if you can, purchase totes that
are Earth friendly and encourage recycling. They
are stylish.
- Show friends that trust and believe in you
how interested you are about helping our planet
and try to get them interested in it, too. If
they trust you a lot, they just might try to
help. Once a lot of people get interested in it
and learn more about it, more people will help!
- This is a very important one to remember. If
you care it is not that hard to do. DON’T
LITTER! It is really easy to do and it is very
kind to our planet when you don’t litter. Save
your trash until you get to a trash can (or even
better, recycling bin) to throw it away. It is
not very nice to throw trash down. Try to make
sure it lands in the trash can. Also, it may
sound gross and you may need gloves for safety
but if you have time try to pick up other
peoples trash. If you have an adult with you,
you might want to ask before you pick up someone
else’s trash to be safe. Also, if you see
someone else that you know littering try to tell
them why and what they should do.
- Make encouraging posters! With permission,
put them in your school and in town.
- At some stores they have reusable grocery
bags that you can buy. Next time you go to the
your local Wal-Mart try looking for them. (They
are usually at the cash register or up front).
- The biggest tip of all is to picture all the
green grass, flowers, clear water and air we may
have if we reduce, reuse, recycle, don’t litter
and don’t pollute. Remember, your goal is to
help Earth!
Although you may not have time to try all of
these, one of these things will help. Believe me. It
feels great just to do one thing to help. These tips
are easy, get out there and try one! You got 7 to
choose from. Bye for now, I got some work to do!
