GREEEN: IT’S NOT JUST A COLOR
By: Bianca, 11 (aka: BiscuitRox)
 People
all over the world are taking action on becoming
"Green". Others say that "Green" is just a color.
Being Green can be simple, but to others it has no
meaning. I say NO, it does have a meaning .Just
think of your grandchildren. What if they aren’t
able to walk outside of their own houses? That is
just sad. But you can make a difference! Yes, you
and everyone else you know can! People like the
Disney Channel stars our teaming up on an
organization called "Friends For Change" where they
are teaming up on projects to help save the planet.
If you go to their website
www.disneychannel.com/friendsforchange you can
pledge and start acting right now!!!! I have
included a few tips and ideas for you to start
becoming greener!! Remember Green isn’t just a
color. : )
- If you have a trash can get a reusable bag
and if you have any water bottles, unwanted
paper or plastic put it in your plastic bag and
when the garbage truck comes get a cardboard box
and dump all the contents and they will take it
away to be recycled.
- Save water by taking shorter showers.
- DON’T LITTER! If you litter, just think of
how polluted our Earth is going to be. Would you
like it if you were breathing in dirty air, I
didn’t think so. TIP Alert: If you have trash,
wait to throw away you’re in your garbage or
recycle anything that doesn’t to in a garbage
can - not on the middle of the road.
- Keep a plant in your room, it can reduce a
lot of bad air and it can brighten up your room
and freshen it up too.
- Turn off all electricity when not in use. If
you want your room to have light in it and it’s
a sunny day lift up your blinds and let in the
bright sunlight. If you need to use your light,
use energy saving light bulbs.
These are just some of the many ways where you
can find out how you can be greener. Now get up get
off your butts and go make a difference! |
