SAVE OUR PLANET

OUR PLANET!

I think there are a lot of ways we can help to save the

Earth. One way is to remember the three Rs. I save the

plastic bags we get at the grocery store and use them again. I

save plastic food containers. They make good toys to play in

sand and water. Before I buy something, I ask myself the following

questions, “Do I really need this? Is it recyclable? If I

have to throw it away, will it harm the environment?”

I have a bird feeder that I fi ll by myself. I want

to be the kid who saves the Earth!

The problem of the environment is much spoken about on

TV, radio, and in the newspapers. But my friends and I don’t

really talk about it. I know Greenpeace and Friends of the

Earth. But in our school we don’t have an environmental

programme. There are special magazines about nature. My

favourite magazine is the Sport News. I’m in the school football

team. We play football twice a week. I’m

going to be a football star.
