Dear Future Generations: Sorry!

4/28/2016

This week we celebrated Earth Day, a day to raise awareness and recognize the importance of environmental protection. As I was looking through the various events and videos that were posted, this one really caught my attention. Watch one man’s ‘apology’ to future generations, for the damage being done today.. Although some of the points he makes refer to American politicians, I think the message he has to share is universal. As you watch, think about his message. Do you agree? For your blog post, in the comments, reflect on the following:

Is it too late to make a positive impact on the environment, or can we make a change?
What changes would you make to build a positive future for the generations to follow us?
List 3 things you will do this week that will create a better world for future generations!

I think the government should stop building stuff because the government is cutting trees down and if that keeps happening eventually the earth will have no trees. That is really sad. This is all because they needed to build apartments,houses and recreational centers. Now I am not saying that those buildings are bad and should not be here but I think the government should just even that stuff out.

Here is an example.

The glen abbey golf course ( The course used for the Canadian open)
It is being teared down because they are building houses there.
I think the golf course should stay because it is one of oakvilles attractions.
That is my one example

Now I am going to answer the three questions

1. No it is not to late to make a positive impact on the environment we can help in many ways.

So yes we can make a very positive change.

2. Here are some things we can do to help the environment.

1. Don't litter.

2. Throw stuff out in the correct place.

3. If you are going somewhere close ride a bike don't take a car.

4. You should reuse plastic bottles and plastic bags.

5. Don't leave chargers plugged in because it uses a bunch of electricity.

Those are some small things you can do to help the environment.

3. Here are the three things I will do this week to create a better world for future generations.

1. I am going to try and not use the lights in my house that much to save electricity.

2. I am going to try and use my iPad less this week to save electricity.

3. I am going to try and put recycling in the recycling more than I usually do and green bin stuff in green bin etc.

That is what I am going to do this week to help the environment.

That is my blog post!

1. I think it is definetly NOT to late to make a change on the impact of the earth! If we all help out we can make the world a way better place for future generations.

2. We can help the environment by doing:

a. When I was on the cadets Field Training eXersise there were fireworks. The next day all the boys lined up across the field and looked for firework caps. The moral is pick up garbage when you see it.

b. DON'T litter! Littering is a small thing one person does but with everyone doing it, it really affects polution. You can go anywhere and find huge amounts of garbage! (Mainly the health room desks! HAHA!)

c. Organize your garbage! When you put garbage in the recycling bin they take the garbage to the recycling dump and it gets completely mixed in. That can cause big problems at the dump.

d. Try to ride your bike wherever you are. A really big problem is exhaust. It makes alot of pollution and we don't even notice how bad it is. We just care about getting to wherever. We need to start paying more attention because the earth will have nothing left for our future generations.

e. ALWAYS turn off the lights after leaving a room. Electicity is being wasted everywhere! Between chargers, room lights, pot lights and etc.

f. Use less plastic! Everyone uses plastic! It is used so much and plastic takes around 500 years to disolve! Think how long it will take for all the plastic we use to disolve! We need to cut down on using plastic.

g.
Our future generation:
"What are trees?"
"What do trees smell like?"
"What do trees look like?"
"Well I have my iPhone 1,000,000,000 what do I need trees for?"

3. Three things I will do this week to make a difference are:

a. Use less plastic.

b. Ride by bike to places even more.

c. Not litter at all. (This is a life goal.) Even though I dont.

4. That was my blog post. I hope it wasn't lame.

Is it too late to make a positive impact on the environment, or can we make a change?
Yes and no because it is not to late to change we can SAVE US!

What changes would you make to build a positive future for the generations to follow us?

The positive changes WE can do is....
1. stop making money (well that will be hart to do but yeah)
2.WE can help just help by cleaning the EARTH! (or just the school yard and the )

List 3 things you will do this week that will create a better world for future generations!

3.clean the school yard
2.clean the River
1.play outside so we don't just NOT play on so such of the iPad or iphone Etc

I've watched this video many times before and I love it! It's really cool how you can turn a positive message about the world into a song or a rap. Prince EA has sent out a really good message about the world about what we are doing to the world,racism,equality and a bunch of other stuff. Although he mostly focuses on the bad stuff we are doing to the environment and how if we don't stop polluting and stuff then the future generation like our children,our children's children and even children's children's children's won't get to see animals,trees,grass etc. Prince EA sent out a great message in a very entertaining way. Here is my blog post.

Question 1:

I definitely agree with the message in the rap. I agree because recently people have been doing a lot of construction and making buildings and other facilities. There for as you crate more stuff there's more pollution especially when you make factories. As we make more facilities and building we are taking up more space from nature and taking away animal habitats and if we keep doing that animals will start to die and trees will start to die and the future generation will have NOTHING. They will have NOTHING to see and have nothing to climb and find adventures.

Question 2:

No! No it's not too late to make a change in the world and make an impact. It's never too late to make a difference. There are still a bunch of things we can do to make a change and to make a impact to make the world a better place for the future. Not just in Oakville but also everywhere else in Canada and a bunch of other places outside of Canada and North America. We can all make a difference just by doing the smallest things. We can make a difference by doing something that is included in our everyday lives. So... no it's not too late to make a difference or to make an impact and there are a WHOLE lot of things we can do to make a difference.

Question 3:

Here are just some things we can do to build and make a positive and a better future!

~Don't litter in oceans,seas,river etc. and even on land.
~Don't waste water while you wash your hands or brush your teeth or anything that involves using water.
~Don't go on your electronics for hours and hours on end.
~Throw away garbage in it's proper place including recycling and compost.
~Don't keep the lights on when you are not in the room or not using them. Just use natural light.
~Don't use your air conditioner for never ending hours just use natural breeze and just open your window.
~Last but not least you should use local farm food instead of using food that's probably really really really processed.

Question 4:

Here are 3 thing that I am going to do this week to help make the environment better and make the world a better place!

~Use only re-usable bags,water bottles etc. Which saves a lot of stuff!
~Not go on my laptop as much and not watch so much T.V. Which saves energy.
~Take shorter showers. Which saves water.

I really liked this blog post because we get to think about what this generation of people is doing to the future generation and try to make a difference. That's all I have for my blog post so I'm just going to end this by telling you a quote. " If we all do one random act of kindness daily, We just might set the world in the right direction. This quote is by: Martin Kornfeld. Ok I'm done!

I think that almost all the woods are getting cut down for more house and roads because Oakville is becoming a bigger city, town what ever you want to call it. That is not good for any things even humans because we need trees to breath so we should stop cutting down trees.

Question 1
I don't think it is to late to make a difference because if are city, town what ever you want to call helps we can help by just everyone picking up five pieces of garbage a day will help the future generations from something we did.

Question 2
The changes I will make for the positive future for the generations is to pick up litter
walk to school
play outside with your friends
Turn the light off when you are not using them
don't throw stuff on the ground throw it in a garbage

Question 3
Three things I will do this week to make the world's future generations are...
1. pick up litter on the floor and then put it in the right place because if you do that the world becomes cleaner
2. walk to school instead of drive to help with the environment
3. Bring a reusable water bottle not a plastic water bottle because it is good for the earth if you bring a reusable water bottle so you don't need to throw the plastic water bottle out.

That's all.

think this message is saying that we really do need to pay attention to what we have and we should respect what we have instead of using/taling it for granted.
1.Is it too late to make a positive impact on the environment, or can we make a change? I think that we do have a chance, but we all do need to work together to find that solition.
2.What changes would you make to build a positive future for the generations to follow us? I would pick up litter, turn off the lights and not use as much of the electricity, adn also to ride my bike, or walk to the place instead of driving and polluting the air.
3.List 3 things you will do this week that will create a better world for future generations!

I think this video was very important to us and the environment. People should just appreciate what they have instead of getting more and more If they keep on cutting more trees down, this Earth wouldn't be the same as today.

Now the Three questions

1. I think it is never to late to make a change for the Earth because if we all help each other out, at the same time we are helping the trees and the other plant that are on the Earth.

2. I would make sure the paper goes in to the recycle bin so we can reuse it. When the garbage people come, they know that you are trying to save the Earth.

3.My three things are

Don't print if you don't need to.save the money which also means you are saving the trees because money comes from trees.

Make sure that paper goes into the recycle bin.

Use scrap paper if you need to.(If you are doing some simple math)

Is it too late to make a positive impact on the environment, or can we make a change?

It is not to late to make a positive impact on the environment because as said in the video "an error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. This means it is still possible to fix our error before it becomes permanent.

What changes would you make to build a positive future for the generations to follow us?

The changes I would make to build a positive a future generation is to stop air pollution so kids don't have to wear masks to school. Also, I would stop water pollution so poor kids can have access to clean water and can swim in the ocean. Lastly, I want to grow more trees so in the future we could still have oxygen on earth.

List 3 things you will do this week that will create a better world for future generations!

1. Take shorter showers
Rather than taking a 10 minute shower, I could take a 8 minute shower.

2. Use a reusable water bottle
I always bring in plastic water bottles so I will use a reusable water bottle.

3. Watch less TV
instead of watching TV for 3 hours and 30 minutes I could watch TV for 2 hours everyday.

Climate Change and Global Warming is changing the world extremely quick… Fossil fuels, carbon dioxide, natural gases. Anyways, to the assignment this week.

Question One ~

In some places in the world, it is way too late to make a positive impact because the air is polluted, the water is polluted too. You can still try to make a positive impact but the only problem is, how will you get rid of all the pollution? But we can make a change in our community. The easiest things like ~
take shorter showers, don’t litter, turn off your lights when not in use, go outside and turn off your electronics and ect.
The easiest things can help people all around the world.

Question Two ~

Always remember, if you are trying your hardest to make a difference, you are making a difference. But if we want the generation after us have a good positive future. We have to agree to do the following,
1. If you find litter on the ground, pick it up.
2. Don’t litter, if you start littering everyone else would think it is okay.
3. Take your eyes off of your screen and go outside and do whatever.
4. Turn off your lights if it isn’t in use.

Question Three ~

This week I am going to do the following things
1. Try to go out more and turn off my electronics
2. Throwing things out in the right bin
3. Turn off the lights after I leave the room, if there is no one else

I am going to do a lot more than three things this week, but those are the main things that I am focusing on! That is how I am going to try to build up a positive future for the rest of us.

Just think about a world with no wild life but just people no animals not plants like trees for example we would die of no oxygen or clean water.

Question 1.
In my opinion some places you can help like Toronto but there are other places in the world that are way to polluted to even help.

Question 2.
1.Raise awareness
2.Help clean places like a forest
3.pick up litter
4.donate to places that help solve the problem

Question 3.
1. will go in the forest and clean it
2. go pick up and litter if I see it
3.Go and tell people about the problem

After watching this video I was really sad and motivated. Sad because in years the world can be like that with no animals,oceans and trees. All for money. These are all things we take for granted. We use trees everyday. Imagine them all gone. So of course I was sad, but I was also very motivated. After seeing a "What if" of the world, I now know that we all need to start taking care of the world for us and also for future generations.

Is it too late to make a positive impact on the environment, or can we make a change?

I think we can make a change even though bad things are happening to the world, it's not nearly as bad as in the video. If we all start NOW we can prevent this from happening.

What changes would you make to build a positive future for the next generations?

I would start by not letting others(as well as me) litter or do damage to nature. Even though this may be little after a while it will catch on.

List 3 things you will do this week to make the world a better place...

1) Placing my garbage in the proper places
2) Save energy- buy not having every light on
3) Using reusable items-bags, water bottles,etc

If we all do our part we can help make the world a better place!

I Really enjoyed watching this video and I learnt a lot.
The video shares many problems in the world and persuades us to want to fix them.
I believe it isn’t too late to make a positive impact on the world because there are persuasive videos like this for people to convince us to keep earth healthy. I don't think we can get rid of everything bad we have done but i do believe we can improve it.
If I were to have enough power I would change the laws pollution wise because even in the capital of the philippines you can see smoke covering the sun I have heard. Beside that I think we can continue developing eco friendly products and stop cutting down trees.
This week I will go threw my home recycling, garbage and maybe compost and sort it all, I Will also clean all the garbage that flies on to our property and Finally I will be planting a tree in our backyard

This video was a huge eye opener for me, and it really made me think about what's really happening in the world around me. I totally agree with the video, we need to focus on things that are important. We need to act towards the future and not what's happening right now.

1. Is it too late? NO! Even in places where it feels like there is no hope left, there is always something we can do to make a positive impact for the future generations. If the world takes time to commit small acts, we can all take part in making a difference.

2.There is so many things I, and everyone could do to make a posititve future. Here are some simple things we can all do

-walk, bike or ride a bus to school
-use refillable water bottles
-conserve water and electricity
-go outside!
-if you see litter pick it up, and definitely don't litter yourself!

3.Here are 3 things I wil try to do to create a better world for our future generations:

~Bring reusable water bottles
When I have a basketball game or tournament, sometimes I am lazy and bring 2 plastic water bottles. Instead I could bring 1 reusable bottle, so I could just refill it!

~Save energy!
I will always turn off the lights when a room is not being used, and get off the TV , and try something new. I could go outside and play with my friends

~use less garbage
I will try to bring snacks to schools that have recyclabes wrappers/ and bring my lunch in reusable containers

That is how we can change the world and make a good home for our duture generations!

1. I think that there is still enough time to make a change in this world. When the man in the video was talking about the trees being cut down and how its affecting our lives there was a message to the people to help the environment. This doesn't only mean tell people to stop cutting down trees it also means doing little things to help the environment grow.

2. Here are some ideas that we can simply do to build a positive future ahead of us:

-Turn off the lights when u are not using them
- Bring reusable water bottle's and container's to school
- Ride your bike or walk to any place that you know you are able to
-Be active when you see that the weather is warm go play outside.

3. The three things I will do this week to create a better world for the future generation are:

1. Stay OFF all technology
Technology is super addicting, as a fact I could play on my Ipod for hours and hours. So as hard as this gonna be for me I am gonna stay off electronics as often as I can.

2. Use LESS water
I am gonna use less water as much as I can, I accidentally put my laundry in the wash 2 times because I thought it wasn't washed and I used a lot of water and I had to take a shower in COLD water. I am gonna try not to make stupid mistakes like that as well as taking showers and not baths because I take baths and that fills the whole entire tub up which wastes a lot of water.

3. Open windows instead of using lights
This last one is pretty simple I will open my window when its bright so that I have a natural light and I do not waste energy.

Those are the steps I will take to make the world a positive enviroment.

After watching this video I feel very inspired to make a difference.

Question 1:

To make a better tomorrow we have to worry about today but is it too late to make an impact on the world? I think that it is never too late to change the world. If everyone in the world started to help out by planting trees our world could change. On the news I heard that 6 billion trees are cut down a year. If we try to only cut down 5 billion trees a year we could start to make a big difference. Everyone can decrease their negative impact on the environment by starting to sort garbage and by walking to school.

Question 2:

To make a difference I think that I am going to try to plant a tree and walk places (to school or to the mall). If everyone in the world planted a tree there would be over 7.4 billion new trees in the world.

Question 3:

The 3 things this week that I will do are:

1. I will walk or ride my bike and not drive to places.
2. I will turn off lights when I leave a room.
3. I will also throw my garbage in the correct bin.

We have a chance to fix the world. We have to plant lots of trees to take our future and make it better.I will garden to make trees for the future.

Aidan.
1,Use less plastic stuff
2,Play outside and turn off the lights and t'v
3,Use natural lighting and spend my time drinking my coffee,tea,mlio or nesquick outside.

That video is super inspiring it made me watch it again! It reminded me that our whole world could become a desert and that I am sorry.

Is it too late to make a positive impact on the environment, or can we make a change?

I don´t think you can ever stop making a positive impact on the environment. It is never too late to help. Anytime, anyplace, anywhere you can make a change in our world. Never stop helping. 50% of our trees that we had are gone. Just gone. And you know what it is for: money. People would careless about their safety and our world and more about how much money they have. Which is so disrespectful to anyone or anything.

What changes would you make to build a positive future for the generations to follow us?

Lets just start by taking baby steps. #1 Recycle properly. People think that recycling doesn´t matter. But all the waste gets reproduced but it doesn´t work if you don´t do it properly. #2 Use reusable water bottles. That is a common one that a lot of us probably did, but I´m just reminding you again. #3 is to plant as many trees as I can. I got from recycling better to planting a bunch of trees. Together we can make a difference in the environment if we all take our time and do it properly.

List 3 things you will do this week that will create a better world for future generations!

1. I am not going to use any plastic bags this week in my lunch. I am only going to bring containers. The garbage just goes to waste. And sometimes just goes onto the ground when people litter.

2. On the weekend we are going to plant some plants in our garden and by helping I am giving nutrients to the soil and then the soil is giving nutrients to the grass. See it´s all connected.

3. I am going to bike ride or walk to places near by instead of taking a car ride. The gas in the car spreads out to the environment and that kills plants and the more plants that get killed the more desert like planet we will have.

One time Bryan T. Amazing got the same exact message as my class did, and he answered the 3 questions, and that is what I am going to do.

3 questions here!

1. I think mankind can still make a difference before our planet becomes an intergalactic factory. It's not too late.

2. I will make 5 changes.

#1 Do NOT throw out compost or recycling
#2 don't litter
#3 REUSE
#4 Don't help out with companies that make pollution worse
AND #5.........................................................................................................You make the final rule! I'm too lazy to do it
3.
#1 Throw litter in trash
#2 Don't play with electronics for 5 hours
#3 Help out with the (choke) green bin

Those are the 3 questions I ANSWERED!

This video was very powerful, it makes me paying attention to it. I agree with the video because the are in Beijing is very bad, for example: you breath the air at there one day = smoke one day.
Here is my answer for the three questions:

1: It's definitely not too late to save our world, we can still use many ways to help.

2:
- I will use both side of a paper instead of throw it away.
- Walk or ride bike to the places that are near you.

3:
- Use light as less as possible.
- Don't waste water.
- not throw garbage in water.

I think that it is sad that people keep on wrecking nature just to build more structures. Personally, I want to make a change but it will take a lot more than one person to change the world.

1: I don't think that it is to late to change the world, but it will take the whole world to do it. Their can be everybody but one person helping and that one person could be holding everyone back. Some people don't care about this at all and all they think about is money. I mean, I like money, but the point is it's not the only thing in the world that matters. I don't think that it would be possible to not have any trees in the world at all, because you can simply plant trees in your backyard and not give anyone access to the trees.

2: I will do my best to help with this by,
- Planting more plants
- Making sure trees get what they need to stay healthy
- Trying my best to water plants that need water
- Not cutting down any trees
- Respecting other peoples properties
- I will also chain myself to a tree that is going to be cut down and hopefully I won't lose the keys
And a lot more stuff that I just forgot.

3: This week I will try to make sure that everyone recycles and composts properly. I will also plant some flowers and plants in my garden and hep them grow.

I think the government should stop building house and cutting down trees because the trees are there for a reason and that reason is to give oxygen to humans and animals without trees we wouldn't be here 1. is it possible to make a change?

Watching this video made me realize that sometimes we don't really care about what's happening around us. Its never to late to help make the world a better place. Sometimes We just focus on the "beautiful" world and how we are luckily to be having a life but that's not how its going to work in the future. We have to care about this world we live on. Over 7+ billion people live on earth so that means we have to share it! Here are somethings we could do too help make this world even better.

1:recyle. I know this may sound like a small thing but when we don't recycle there is a very negative impact on the environment and also recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by the waste.

2. To help make a difference I will try my best to close my t.v once I am done watching or if one of my sibling forgot to turn it off I will turn it off for them so I don't waste electricity!

3.
-Bring reusable water bottles
-take shorter showers
-don't waste food
-Help others
-Donate to charities

1 it is not to late to do anything all we have to do is stop like you know the bridge next to are school all we have to do is say stop to them.
2 One thing I would do is not drive a gas car I would go with a electric so that no pollution will happen.
3 Well my first thing is I am walking to school so I am helping not make pollution. I am also helping by cleaning up the up the riven.
My third thing is I am going to make my family walk more then we bike.

Hello, we watched a very inspirational video about how we are destroying things that we take for granted every single day, we wake up and go to bed not even thinking how hundreds and hundreds of trees and animals are getting cut down or dying because of hunting, because of abuse, because of habitat loss, there are so many ways that we are wrecking nature and we are finding new ways to destroy it, not solving the old ways. I really liked how in the video how he made it really interesting by making it a rap sort of thing, I also liked how he talked to the future generation not to us, to people who are watching this in the future. It really made me think when he talked about trees and how they give us stuff that I didn't know that trees did and how people in the future will not even be able to see a tree and even know what a tree IS, and that made me think how we take trees SOOO much for granted and I want that to end, we cant wait for someone else to fix our mistake because that most likely will not happen and no one will fix our mistakes and if we don't realize it we are going to be in big trouble so here are the answer to the questions related to the video by

5/5/2016 06:20:17 pm

Prince E.A

1. Is it too late to make a positive impact on the environment, or can we make a change? I it never to late to make a change, Craig Kiel burger was only Thirteen years old when he founded free the children, for some of us that is us in one year, but I bet that most of you definitely do not see yourself in 1 year starting an organization that would be a household name in most houses. That can change though, you can be creating an organization that will change the world but you will need to have dedication, you need to be able to work hard and try again if at first you don't succeed because as I finish this question it is never to late to save the world.

2. the next question is What changes would you make to build a positive future for the generations to follow us?

- turn off unused lights because it saves lots and lots and lots of energy

- Insulate your home as best you can so you don't have to use the A.C in the summer and the heater in the winter as much and that saves power

- Only use electric appliances when you need them because it saves energy and power
l
- Don't litter, lt keeps the city clean, and also keeps animals from eating harmful material and there is so many more ways that I can not possibly name them all.

- Minimize pesticide use because the chemicals can be harmful for other creatures.

- Don't use plastic water bottles because the plastic does not recycle.

3. The last question is List 3 things you will do this week that will create a better world for future generations.

a) the first thing I will do is compost and recycle because it helps the items decompose properly

b) the next thing I will do is ride my bike more because it keeps me out of car and a car puts pollution into the sky and one person can make a huge difference.

c) the last thing I will do is use reusable water bottles because plastic ones are non reusable.

I have seen this video before and just watching it again makes me remember just how strong the message in this video is and just that it makes people realize that we are cutting down tree's and getting rid of animals habitats making some of them going extinct just for one thing which is $$$$$$$ money. If you watched the end of that video where he is in Africa well I found the quote that he said really powerful which was " when all the rivers are dried up and all the trees are cut down man will realize that you can not eat money" I find that really powerful because it is true because once we have no trees and no lakes their will be no food to buy because all the tree's and farms and crops will not be able to grow. People these days are so worried about making money but they don't realize that money isn't all to your life but unfortunately that is what most of the world thinks. Most of the world is so focused on the world when they will be alive that they don't care what they put on the ground or in the sky because they say " by the time it will be a real threat I will be dead" and that is just terrible.

Answers to the question

Question 1 : I definitely agree with this message because like what I said before this is something that people don't think is a real threat and they don't understand what we are doing to this earth so they just do what ever they wan't to the earth without thought just for money. Their is so much building going on right in our own town for example if you go down Dundas it used to be lots of field and grass but now it is just lots and lots and lots of homes and you want to know what is even sadder they are not done. It is really really sad just watching all the grass and all the farms all go away due to construction and tearing them down. Another reason I agree with this message is that we are getting rid of animals left right and center and it is just terrible because in the future all the animals in fairytials will be extinct so children will realize that all those animals in the movies that they watched were actually real and that we got rid of their habitats so all of them died.

Question 2 : NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!! it is most certainly not late to make a change to the world and who ever thinks that think harder a lot harder. I believe it is never too late to make a difference because even if you think their is absolutely nothing you can do to make something better you are most definitely wrong. and I am not talking about that you need to go make your own business or something huge like that maybe just try and use reusable stuff or something small like that hence the saying " little things make a big difference. We can just make a difference in our everyday lives just by doing small really easy things and when most people hear go make a difference they think they need to do something really big and raise a lot of money but you do not need to do that. As I said before it is not to late to make a difference and even if you think it is I bet you can find a way.

Question 3 :
Here are some easy ways that you can do to make a difference just in your own community.

1. The first easy way you can help is have you gone in the ravine lately well you might of noticed that it is very dirty and and maybe you can go pick up some garbage in the ravine.

2. The second easy way you can make a difference is to raise awareness. I don't mean that you need to put an ad up on TV maybe just hang a couple posters because this message needs to get across to people.

3 The third easy way you make a difference is not waste water. What I mean by this is when you are brushing your'e teeth turn the tap off while you are actually brushing your'e teeth and that can save a lot of water. Another way to save water is you can take shorter showers instead of really long showers.

4. The fourth easy way that you can make a difference is do not leave the lights on in a room that you are not in. A lot of people do this and I am sure they do not mean to but when you are exiting a room please make sure the light is off before you leave.

5. The fifth easy way you can make a difference is do not litter.
A lot of people litter and it is terrible because it just ends up in a place bad.

Question 4 :

Here are so ways I will make a difference this week.

1. The first way I will make a difference is I will take 5 minute showers instead of 10 minute showers because I just like taking a shower and it doesn't really need to be long but usually I take 10 minute showers and that is not good.

2. The second way I will make a difference this week is open the window during the middle of the day to get some natural light instead of using a light bulb and using electricity when I don't need to.

3. The third thing I will do to make a difference this week is I am going to bike to the places that I can because sometimes I drive to places I can bike and the less gas you use the less pollution going into the air

I really loved and enjoyed doing this blog post and I also really loved the video and thought the message is so powerful. This crisis is something that needs to get across to the world and they need to realize how big of a problem this is becoming but the only problem people are focused on today is how to get money. But let me ask you this when all the rivers are gone and all the tree's are cut down and you have piles and piles and piles of cash what are you going to spend it on.
