    Earth Day

    Earth Day is really important. It is a great idea to have Earth Day. It is also not a bad idea to help our Earth. It is important to keep rainforest and jungles from being destroyed and the animals will die to. It is important because it's a day we for us to reflect on what we can do to help the earth. We can protect the earth buy stopping oil spills and stop killing so many trees.
    You can make posters and tell people the problems in your neighborhood. Start a scavenger hunt and get all your friends to play with you. Don't buy bottles and containers that can't be recycled. Start a clean up patrol in your neighborhood. Don't litter every little thing you do can save our enviroment. It is very important to help by throwing all the recycling stuff in the recycle bin. You can plant a notion. Plus , you can turn your off your computers at night. You can switch your light and recycle glass.

    Why do you think Earth Day is important. Well I will tell you and this is what it is good for. "Earth day is important to us because it is the one day in the year where time is set aside for us to really think about conserving our environment". So the forests will not die and the animals will not die. And so that is why Earth Day is important. So pepole need to stop the pollution to the forests.

    How to help the forests or a forest. Start a clean-up patrol. You might begin by cleaning and fixing up the area around the forest . If you live in a city, check to see if there are trash cans on each block. If there aren't, notify an adult who can help. Don't litter—every little bit you do can help save our environment!

  3. What we can do to help Earth
    What we can do to help celebrate Earth day. Earth day is a special holiday for recycling and saving the planet for the main thing I would be talking about is that they have a Nature Discovery Center is a realy big place where they have different celebrations because they have a fair of scholastic books, live music, and different environmental games. We can help by recycling more often, pick up litter from the evirnonment, help plant more, and help keep the gross discusting pollution from beautiful places from the economy. Mostly, the conomy is polluting beautiful things like how parks have beautiful clear ponds or rivers have deaths from trash of animals that had done nothing to deserve to die or fish, frogs, and other water creatures. Thats how we can help our planet Eath and have celebrations like Bellaire.
    How we can help the environment for future generation. We can help by help making scavenger hunt for pollution in polluted area's like for what you can find is plasic recyclable bottles, paper bags, and other pollution. You atleast need to do it when you have some free time on your hands and do some recycling. Thats how we can save the evironment.

    Why Is Earth Day So Important?

    Why is Earth Day so important? I think it's important because we need to start taking care of the Earth . We all need to stop litering thats the only thaing that protecs the Earth. If we love the earth we should take care of it. We should put flyers up to remind people to love there earth. That's like feading our earth junk food also that's not healthy. That's a good idea right?.

    The steps to help the Earth. Step 1 stop littring thats the most important thing. Step 2 pick up the trash when you see the trash it's to help the Earth. Step 3 all ways make shure you protect the Earth. That's all the steps. Oh you should do that on your free time.

  5. Earth Day is the time to clean and take care of the Earth. On Earth Day you can do stuff like picking up trash on the beach. It is important to clean the beaches for the animals because they might mistake the trash for food. If an animal eats trash it will choke and die. Also, on Earth Day you can make up a game about recycling. It can teach people how to recycle and it can be fun at the same time.

  6. EarthDay is a very special day when you can help the Earth. The Earth is not made of everything in the universe. It is not made of money or anything. We ned to think of trees not always money. We need to keep the Earth green, healthy, and strong. We should feel guilty about getting the Earth dirty, polluted, and weak. That is not good, and it is not healthy for us either.
    You can help the Earth by picking up trash in your yard, and in other people's yards. That would be healthy for us and the Earth. The next thing you can do is plant trees and plants.

    Earth Day is very important because Earth Day helps our planet. Our planet gets
    more green very time we pick a trash off the floor. If we did not have Earth Day
    then the Earth will be dead so would we. If it was not for Gaylord Nelson we would
    had our Earth look like trash. Our trees are dieing and we are losing our paper and all the other things we could get from trees. But the more we save our Earth the more nice things we could have. Everyone should help on the Earth. Earth Day is here so people could help the Earth.

    Earth Day is one day out of the whole year to help clean up and talk about the world. Earth day is important because if we never had Earth day the world would be very dirty and we can get very sick. That's why Earth day is important. We also need to help wild life what we can do is not cut the tree's down because lot's of animal's live in tree's. The second thing you can do is don't disturb wild life. Any thing you do can make a difference.

  10. Earth day is important because it helps us live and it protects the trees that give us oxygen. If people clean up and do not litter ever again in their life, after that we might have more trees. Then that makes more oxygen, but if we do not then are earth won't be clean. We can clean up when you are off of school, you can do it on your free time and on the weekends so you have time. Don't buy bottles and containers that can not be recycled. outside and pike up trase on your neighood. whene you get older you can do older stuff.

    I saw some cool ideas for Earth day but I came up with one of my own. My plan is to plant more trees because trees are cut down every day. Trees breath out the air we breath in. We breath out the air trees breath in. Without them we would die and without us they would die. We help each other live. That`s my Earth Day idea.

    Pollution is the Earths worst enemy. A lot of people pollute. That killes plants and without plants we can`t breath. And that means my plan should work really good.

    Earth Day is a great way to bond with the Earth.

    Recycle Ball the steps,step 1 Get a plastic bottle,
    paper , can ,step 2 smash or crumble the object,
    step 3 try to throw or toss the object into the bin.

  13. Earth Day is very important to our community and the environment. Earth Day is so important to us because it is the one day in the year where time is set aside for us to really think about conserving our environment.

    So you might be thinking,'' how can I do my part ?" Well one thing you can do is make posters to inform people about problems in your neighborhood. Do you have some free time after school or on weekends? Perhaps your teacher knows of a conservation group that you can become involved with. Start a scavenger hunt. Tell your friends and family about it and have it somewhere in your neighbor. Don't use bottles or containers that cannot be recycled. Use paper bags. Start A clean-up patrol. You can start by cleaning up your school. Don't litter- every little bit you do can help save our environment.

  14. Earth day is the time when you can help and clean the enviroment.
    The best can to help the Earth by recycling , planting plants and stuff like that.
    Also you can go to parks and throw away all the soda and water bottles plus
    some soda cans too. Lastly you can ride bikes instead of driving cars so the air
    wont get polluted. There are lots of other ways to participate and help the Earth
    that you can do.

    There are some cool and helpful activities you can do for Earth. After
    school or on weekends you can plant at least one plant that week. It will take
    CO2 and make it into Oxagene. It well also help animals and people breath.
