There are so many ways you could help. You could pick up trash off the fields so they would be nice and clean. You could plant seeds like flower seeds, fruit seeds, vegetable seeds, tree seeds, and many more. You could also pull weeds so the other plants can grow. You also shouldn't put things down the storm drain like car cleaning liquids. The earth is are home so we should treat it very well.

We could help save the earth by planting flowers, trees, and other plants. We could stop hunting of some species of animals, such as lions and tigers, as their pelts are highly desirable. We could find other ways of transportation without leaking pollutants into the air. We could also pick up litter and clean up after ourselves. If we can save the earth, we would be creating a better future.

i think what the world needs the most is making enough tree's to have enough to breath!Because a lot of people our cutting tree'! i hope with out tree's we would not have enough to breath!i also think cleaning up is very important to because if we did not clean up like litter we would have a messy world and actually we can't breath that well to because if its so stinky with garbage that would not be good!Now am very happy for our planet and world because people have cleaned up garbage from outside!Now shops are not using plastic bags anymore and is good because plastic bags are not good for our planet its kind of like garbage and that's not good so i am very happy about our planet!So now i hope your lisening to everything because our world is very important!Now that i think of it i would want to do all of this right now!

Going green is easier than you think. There are little things you can do every day to help reduce greenhouse gases and make a less harmful impact on the environment. Taking care of the Earth is not just a responsibility -- it's a privilege. 1.)Walk or ride your bike to work, school and anywhere you can. You can reduce greenhouse gases while burning some calories and improving your health. If you can't walk or bike, use mass transit or carpool. Every car not on the road makes a difference. 2.)Turn off lights when you're not in the room and unplug appliances when you're not using them. It only takes a second to be environmentally conscious. 3.)Get a clothesline or rack to dry your clothes by the air. Your wardrobe will maintain color and fit, and you'll save money.Your favorite t-shirt will last longer too. 4.)Use both sides of paper. American businesses throw away 21 million tons of paper every year, equal to 175 pounds per office worker. For a quick and easy way to halve this, set your printer's default option to print double-sided (duplex printing). And when you're finished with your documents, don't forget to take them to the recycling bin.

We could help save the earth is by biking to school instead of riding a car and polluting the air. A second way we could help save the earth is by turning off the lights when you are leaving a room. You could also recycle paper, cans etc., as well as using both sides of a paper so we won't have to cut more trees down, which leads me to my next fact that we should stop cutting down trees so that we'll have enough air to breath. Those were just a few ways to help save the earth, but if you look outside you would be able to see that there is so many ways to make our world a better place.

There are many ways to help the earth.Like reuseing things and recycling. Not litering and picking up liter. Plant more trees and oter plants.Use less napkins. Not let the human populasion grow to like 7,000,000,000. there are some good reasons to save the planet.

If there is one problem that's facing the earth most it's our dying planet. There are a bunch of things you can do to help and here are a few. One way is to stop cutting down trees. We need trees to breath and without trees we would all be dead. Another way is to pick up litter. Litter just ends up on the streets and people don't care. A third way to help is to recycle. Why recylce? Because if we don't recycle the earth will be a junk yard and we will have run out of resources to make anything new.

Some ways we can help the earth is, taking a bike to work. If you don't you can use electric or low gas cars. Turn off lights when your not using them. It will wast electricity and rise your electricity bill too. Don't use one side of the paper, use both. That follows the term "reusing". The more paper we use, the more trees we cut down. The more trees we cut down more rainforests will be destroyed! The more rainforests destroyed the less air we have! See, if someone does something bad, something bad will happen to them. In this case the bad thing would be less air. Finally, don't put stuff down the storm drain. The storm drain leads to the ocean. Most turtles die from eating plastic bags thinking it was a jellyfish. So lets clean up our planet!

There are many ways to help the enviroment. One way is to bike to places like to work. As you probaly know cars pollute so keepingonly one car of the road helps. Another way to help is to turn of lights that you don't need. Additionally, planting stuff like trees, flowers, and lots of other plants. Earth is our home. treat it well.

We could save the earth by planting everything there is to plant. Also we could recycle more. You could pick up trash any time you see it. We should never pull out plants. Don't use to much water when in the bathroom. Always turn off lights. That is how we can save the earth.

One way I would save the Earth is by making cars run by sunlight instead of gas. Another way I would save the earth is by saveing parts of the earth for endangered spieces of plants and raise them so they won't be endangered anymore. Anther thing I would do is put up signs saying DO NOT LITTER.

Some ways to help the earth is to convert to hydrodgen power because it does not emitt pollution(it's #1 on the periodic table and one glass of water can power Manhatthan for a day).You can also pick up litter anywhere. You can try to use less gas and use solar energy(if you can). You can recycle what you have to recycle.You can also reuse bags so you don't fill up landfills.

Desiree said...

Some ways I can help is using less gas. You could help plant trees because trees help clean most of are air. We could stop littering. We should start caring about the ocean and clean that up too. We should all take care of the world, who's with me...?

Lauren said...

Trevor said...

I think that the way that I could make the earth better would be by recycle all plastic bottles instead of using many bottles. Another way that I could make the earth better is to pick up any trash on the ground or anywhere else. I would also try to help the environment by planting trees and growing a garden. If everyone tried to help the environment the earth would be a lot cleaner.

Alivia said...

Some ways I can help the environment is by taking the bus or walking to places you need to go. This helps because you are using less gas which polutes the earth. Another way I can help is by recycling more. Also another way is when I see liter I can pick it up. This would help decrease the amount of trash collected. This will help especially if everybody does it. So I hope everybody joins together and helps the environment!!

Ibrahim said...

You can help the earth by picking up trash. By helping the environment. Also by recycling. We could help by, turning off electric things that aren't in use,and water when its not being used. By helping the environment you can help the earth be a better place.

Adam said...

There are lots of ways to help the earth. Stop cutting trees because you are reducing the oxegen level. Don't smoke cigarettes because it is polluting the air. Plant lots of plants so it looks nice. Stop killing animals because they are a part of nature. Those are some ways to help the earth.
