Thank you so much for sharing this video with us today, Caroline. I love the poetry in this and its message. It is both extremely depressing and inspiring to hear about all the issues facing the environment today. I hope that I live my life treating the Earth with respect, as I truly value nature. I cannot imagine a world without trees or animals, as mentioned in the video. I do agree that environmental issues are the most important to solve. I know there is always more to be done.

In order to save the Earth, I could drive less and start carpooling more or walking to  my destinations. It is crazy to think about all of the vehicles that are used each day. I could also cut back on electricity by turning off the lights when I do not need them or using less water when I take a shower. As much as I want to personally help the Earth get back on its feet, it is impossible for one person to completely change everything.

To save the Earth, I have been recycling and trying not to use plastic when possible.  As an example, I never use plastic water bottles and I try to avoid plastic bags. I use metal straws and reusable water bottles, along with the rest of my family. However, I could definitely do more to help the Earth. I could carpool, recycle paper, and avoid plastic more often.

There is many things that people are doing to help the Earth. There is nothing huge that I am doing, but even if we just make sure we are picking up our trash. We can make sure we recycle to, unlike our school. So if we have something to recycle we can take it home or bring it to this class so it actually gets recycled.

Some very small things I have been doing recently include using reusable metal straws, not buying plastic water bottles and using my hydroflask instead, and running outside instead of wasting a trip to drive to the gym. However, I need to be more proactive and actively pick up trash from parks, beaches, etc. I also want to start to plant more trees and start a garden i

There is a lot of irreversible damage already done to our planet. But, I think our generation has the fire and determination to change things. I already drink out of a reusable water bottle and don't use straws at restaurants. I also pick up trash whenever I walk my dog and when I'm at the beach. However, I feel like there is always more everyone can do. This summer, I want to take my dog out more, and while I'm out with her, I pick up trash when I see it.

Environmental issues are THE most pressing issues right now. Together we need to work together to save the Earth for our future generations. We can use less plastic and recycle the products that can be recycled. In order to close the loop of recycling however, we need to buy recycled products. Don't buy new products to add to the landfills.

As a family, I feel that we do a lot to help the earth. We recycle metals and plastics. We also have a compost pile in our backyard that we use so that we don't throw out everything and then we use it to fertilize our yard. My mom also works for the Department of Conservation of Natural Resources in Harrisburg, so she is really involved in helping the environment. Because of that our family has always been pretty conscious of what we are doing to help the environment. I have also stopped using plastic straws and use a reusable water bottle everyday.

I could definitely do more to help make a difference in the Earth's health. I do a good job recycling paper, but I could do a better job recycling plastic bottles and using reusable containers instead of plastic bags. I'm also going to attempt to help reduce the amount of cars on the road by carpooling with my friends this summer and walking places if I can. At the beach this summer I think it would be cool to go on a walk with my family and pick up trash along the sand to keep it from getting into the oceans.

I personally have gotten more involved with my own efforts to save the Earth. For the past couple months I have not used a plastic straw for my drinks and rather used a portable metal straw. It is absolutely crazy how many plastic straws are used in restaurants. I have also done my best to cut down my overall plastic consumption by opting out of plastic water bottles and bags. By choosing to go green, I have influenced other people to do the same. Making a change is contagious and I am trying my best to do what I can.

As of now, I use a reusable water bottle. My next goal is to make my dad use a reusable water bottle because he is the only one in my family who does not use one. Also, I need to stop using straws as much. I try not to, but I am pretty terrified of germs. Most of the time now restaurants offer paper straws, but that trend does not look like it has spread to Carlisle. I would like to be more involved in saving the earth, but it is hard for me to go outside because I am allergic to everything, so I need to find another way.

Our Earth is dying around us and some scientists say we have around five years left to change our ways or be stuck in the irreversible chain reaction of damage. We have only a few years to save the Earth, what can you do to help? What are you already doing to help?
