In my family there are many different ways that we try to protect our environment. We do things such as not taking long showers, recycling, throwing trash in the trash can,turning unnecessary lights off, and by biking to places that aren't that far away. Recycling is very important because we can use old used bottles and cans, and we can form them into something brand new. If you don't take the time to take the environment into consideration, there would be trash and pollution everywhere on the Earth. If we continue throwing trash on the ground and releasing  harmful chemicals in our atmosphere then the world will be over faster then we every expected.

I think it is important to protect the environment because when people litter, it hurts animals and the air. Litter pollutes the air and too much pollution can hurt the environment. Litter on the beach bothers me the most because beaches are supposed to be nice and relaxing. My family does a lot to protect the environment such as recycling, not using as much of things, and we throw out trash in the trash can.

It is important keep our environment clean because God wants us to take care of the world. You can do this by recycling, planting plants, or even service projects. Recycling would help because we can make more objects out of recycled paper, and reduce cutting down of trees. Planting plants would help the environment because they produce oxygen for us, which allows us to breathe. Finally, service projects like picking up trash on the beach, would help the marine animals because they won't be eating as much trash in the ocean, and that would prevent deaths of fish, Sharks, and whales.

Protecting the environment is important not only to plants and animals, but it is also important for us. Loss of habitat is a very common factor for rare species going extinct. All exotic animals that we know now might become extinct because of the loss of habitat. Every hour, scientists estimate that about 11 especially go extinct per hour. That is about 264 species of animals or plants a day. 99% of all the animals ever to live on earth are now extinct and we can reduce the number of species that becomes extinct and we can learn more about them. This can be done by recycling what we throw away and using all organic compost to help new plants grow so that they produce more oxygen for us to breath. My family recycles, it reuses paper and it reduces the amount of inorganic waste by buying less plastic packages. My family uses the organic compost it can to "feed" our new lawn.

God wants us to take care of the world. Recycling paper, cans, glass, and cardboard does not waste as much. If we try our best not to leave lights on and water running, we could save a lot of energy and clean water. Pollution is also a problem; try not to leave it cars running when they could be off and discourage or stop smoking. Our world will get worse and worse if we are not environmental friendly, so we all need to do our part and make a change.

There are many things that everyone can do to protect the environment. My family recycles, and we reuse things. The threes r's are what we learned in younger grades, and it helps, but we can do more. People need to start thinking about what is better for the environment. Carpooling with people is very helpful, because it makes less exhaust.

Protecting the environment is important because it keeps the Earth beautiful, healthful, and resourceful. First, protecting the environment keeps our planet beautiful by removing ugly trash and litter. Secondly, it keeps us healthy by not spreading bacteria and disease through trash and waste laying everywhere. Lastly, protecting the Earth gives other people a chance to use the resource again. For example, by recycling a can, another person can use the it in a different way.

It is important to keep the environment clean by recycling. My family recycles in a recycling bin. We also have compost for my chickens. When we put out our compost the chickens eat it, but the stuff they don't eat spreads into the ground and is used as fertilizer. It is also important to not liter because it can cause many difficulties and un-healthiness.

To protect my environment around my house I will pick up the trash that might be on the ground. I also will recycle things that can be recycled. Protecting the environment is important. Throwing trash in lakes is bad for the animals living there. We need to pick up trash on the ground if we see it.

Without the protection of the environment, we would not be able to live the same way we do today, and our lives would be a lot harder and more unhealthy if we did not protect the environment. You can do simple things like turning off the lights when you leave a room, recycling proper materials, and reusing waterbottles instead of using plastic ones and throwing them away. You can even do something as simple as turning off the faucet while you are brushing your teeth. There are many things that you can do, and some of them are things that you do without thinking. In the end, it is important for us to be aware of the risk that we take if we do not protect our environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important to keep the earth clean because if you litter it could hurt animals. For example, if you throw something in a lake or pond, a fish could get caught in it and die. Another reason that we should keep the earth clean is because we live on the earth and nobody wants to be living an a dirty world. My last reason that I think we should keep the earth clean is because it is destroying the earth. We are destroying the earth and all of its beauty, when ever we litter it destroys the earth

Many people hear about the effects of caring for our environment, but they continue to wonder about the importance of these actions. We are responsible for protecting the environment because the environment benefits us as humans. The environment provides us with things such as water, power, and oxygen. We all need to take time out of our virtual word and learn about the earth. Currently, we are ruining the world that allows us to live a healthy life.

One of the most important assets in saving our environment is recycling as much as possible. Most houses have a trash can inside their home, but recycling bins are less commonly found. When a trash can is more available than a recycling bin, we will feel the need to just throw away everything. Soon enough, our earth will look like one big landfill. We can prevent this buy making sure we use the recycling bins provided by our city. Some places force residents to pay for their recycling needs, I believe recycling should be provided for free. We want to prevent the pollution and save our earth.

# data[].attributes.body
The best way to start protecting the environment is in your own house. There are endless ways from there. The main thing you can do in your house is save energy and water, which are very important, but some of the most scarce things out there. Even though that doesn't seem like a lot, it really goes a long way. After that you can expand your horizons and start your journey of saving the world.

Many animals, especially in the sea, are being hurt by trash. For example, many fish get caught in plastic rings, or they get caught up in fish nets that have just been thrown in the ocean and left there. The earth and the environment is a gift from God and we need to keep it clean. When people liter or trash is just thrown on the ground and it makes our world look ugly. Our earth was made to be clean, not dirty.

# data[].attributes.body
In my family we recycle and reduce the amount of trash that we have. Our recycling bins are full every week this shows how much trash we save every week. We also save on energy by upgrading are light bulbs to LED bulbs instead of the Mercury bulbs. We also help the environment by taking shorter showers which are somewhere around ten minutes instead of thirty minutes. This is how my family helpers the environment; which is crucial to helping humans life on earth longer. If we do not take care of the environment then we will have to find a new planet to live on

We do many thing to protect the environment: limit our water usage, recycle, limit our electricity usage, and re-use what we can. We save water by using the dishwater instead of hand washing, which saves gallons of water. We recycle
an re-use what we can by washing plastic cups and Ziploc bags, then using them again. We also use plastic water bottles, instead of disposable ones. It's crazy how doing something so simple, like taking shorter showers or turning the sink off while you are brushing your teeth, can help the Earth so much.

I believe that it is important to protect the environment. This is because tress give us oxygen which we need to breathe. At the rate we are destroying trees we will not have anymore trees to give us oxygen. We need to respect God's creation. The Native Americans used every part of the animal, and thanked their god for the animal. We should respect the gift of the environment that God gave us.

Protecting the environment is very important. It is not very hard to do either. Simple things like picking up trash can make a very big difference. There are many things that are killing the environment because so many people don't care. A healthier environment can mean that the people living in the environment live a healthier life.

# data[].attributes.body
Our environment is important, and it is something we should definitely take care of. Small little things like turning the lights off or recycling around the house keep our environment and the air around us clean. It isn't healthy for us to live with trash all around us, because it can cause disease and health problems for us and the animals. Saving electricity by turning out the lights and picking up trash are just two simple things we can do to help our community. All of us have bad habits of leaving trash everywhere and that shouldn't be one of the problems in our everyday life

# data[].attributes.body
The environment is a gift from God, so we shall use it carefully. Animals, humans, and lants are living on this world, so we need to use our environment responsibility. For example, say you see a piece of trash in the lake. This is an example of NOT using the environment carefully. We should pick up our trash and throw it away to save our community's environment.

# data[].attributes.body
The environment is important to take care of because it affects everything and everyone around us. If we do not take care of the environment it will get worse for us each day and each generation to come. We can help by choosing to recycle. Recycling helps with the amount of waste. It keeps our cities cleaner and is more beneficial by reusing and renewing. We can save the earth by reducing the amount of waste used everyday.

Protecting the environment is very important for many different reasons. Health problems are huge issue. Air pollution can can cause respiratory diseases and cancer, among other problems. Global warming can also have a dangerous affect on our environment. We (as humans) should care more about our environment; it can keep biodiversity safe, and help us in the long run.

# data[].attributes.body
We  should always try not to litter because littering can do a lot  of bad things to the world. I think we need to close some some factories that creat things many people don't use. If we close factories we could end a part of pollution. Pollution is creating holes in our Ozen Layer. The Ozen Layer is protecting the earth from extreme radiation waves that can end life on earth in a matter of months.

I think protecting the environment is a very important thing to do. If we don't protect the environment then it could not only hut us but it could also hurt other living things like animals, plants, and much more! The things we can do to protect the environment are even the simplest of things. You could put your cans in the recycling, not litter, try to use as little fuel as possible, and much more! If the environment is not clean and healthy then it will really not effect just the plants and animals, but we will be effected too ( and not in a good way). Keeping the environment healthy keeps us healthy. What can you do to help?

# data[].attributes.body
One of the easiest steps to helping the environment is recycling. In Central Indiana, recycling services are easy to come by. Believe it or not, some places don't have access to a recycling services. When I visit Hilton Head Island, SC, we have to drive thirty minutes to a dump that takes recyclables. We need to recycle because it is easy for us, and it is saving our environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Protecting the environment is something we should take more seriously. You can help protect the environment in the smallest of actions. You do not need to go out everyday and pick up trash in the park. That may conflict with your schedule. But, you can incorporate environment saving items into your daily routines. You can change your shower head to dispense less water. Instead of throwing away plastic trash in the normal trash can, throw your plastic in the recycling bin. You may or may not turn your lights off when you leave the room, but it is the easiest way to help. Turning off your lights when you leave your room is something that is critical to saving the environment. If we don't start now to save the environment, we may not have one later.

Our environment is not as in controlled as it used to be. People have treated it very poorly, and they all just throw their trash out onto the ground. One of the worst places on earth is China right now. China has a smog problem, so it has destroyed their environment. All of the smog in the air in China causes the little kids to wear face masks to help them breathe. There are many people around the world that are trying to save our environment. The United States has laws that make adults have to pay if they decide to throw trash outside. The oceans are getting worse and worse as times goes on because all over the world people are deciding to throw plastic into the oceans instead of the trash cans. If our world continues to do this, we could end up without a planet to live on.

Protecting the environment is important because it keeps the earth, us, and animals healthy and beautiful. Some of the things that help protect the environment are public trashcans/ recycling bins, and volunteers. Volunteers can help protect the environment by volunteering to clean up parks, trails, etc. The trash cans and recycling bins are protecting the environment by giving us a place to put our trash, so they are not on the street. These trash cans can help animals because they can choke on the trash that is on the ground. That is why it is important to protect the environment

The environment is a very precious thing. When people don't treat it with respect, it becomes easily damaged. Things like litter and cigarette smoke are some key factors that contribute to the deterioration of the environment. Recycling can help save the environment. Recycling helps us use items that should not be thrown away. It can also mean taking recyclable items and turning them into something new. A healthier environment can let people of the Earth live in a healthy world. Our environment was once extremely healthy and now it has gone down hill. Think about "The Lorax", they wasted trees to benefit the people of Sneedville, they lost so many trees. Just so they could have scarves and sweaters. How can you contribute to a healthier environment?

We need to protect the environment or else the Earth will not be able to sustain life. We are ruining the place we live. Sometimes people do it unintentionally, but others know what they are doing and do it anyway. One example to help protect the environment is to stop littering. The trash dirties our towns, cities, and countries. For example, littering in the ocean is a problem. Animals are dying or getting hurt everyday because we not being responsible enough to care for our Earth. An example of animals getting hurt is the movie A Dolphin's Tale. Winter the dolphin gets hurt and ends up losing her tail. She had to adapt to a new way life because of us. We need to start caring for our Earth for everyone's benefit.

I believe keeping the environment clean and safe is very important. God gave us a beautiful world, so we should take care of it. We can do this by picking up trash off of the ground, Recycling, not taking long showers, and by making our community a great place to live. By picking up trash, we can create a clean and healthy environment for everyone to live in. Recycling is a key thing to do because others can use the recycled items in another way. To make our community a great place, we should plant trees and flowers. Planting different plants helps make the area beautiful and benefits us and animals. Adopting-A-Highway is a great service because it helps take care of our environment.

# data[].attributes.body
The environment is very important, it is a beautiful gift that we got we need to keep it safe to last long. We should not be ruining the earth by not littering and polluting the environment. We need to recycle more and pick up after ourselves, so that the earth doesn't die so quickly. One of the main reasons we need to take care of the environments is because we live on the earth and we could die if we don't take care of the environment. If we do take care of the earth we will be able to live on a safe and clean environment.

Taking care of our planet is important because without a healthy planet our lives would lack so much. We need the trees, animals and other natural resources to survive and thrive. We have the epa (environmental protection agency) which makes laws that protect our planet. Some of the laws are the clean air act, clean water act and the toxic substances control act. We can use reusable water bottles to cut back on plastic waste. Even though we can recycle water bottles and other plastic waste items ,the time and effort it takes to be cleaned and changed could be cut down if you used more reusable items. We could also pick up litter we find on the ground.

Inlove the enviornment. I basically live outside, that's how much time I spend out there. I try to be outside as much as I can. I do my homework outside, I make art out there and if the bugs aren't to bad I eat out there. It ticks me off so much to see people treating the place that has provided them with every single material thing that they own so poorly. I don't think that people get that earth is our only planet and home and once it's gone there's no getting it back.

It is important to protect our environment because if we don't, then we will destroy the earth. Plastic, paper, cans, trash, and pollution don't help our environment thrive, they just prevent plant growth on earth. One thing we can do to protect Earth is to clean up trash that we see anywhere around us. This can be very effective because if we all do our part, we can clean up the earth a lot faster. Another thing we can do to protect Earth is to save water by taking shorter showers. This is a good idea because many people just stand in the shower for thirty minutes doing nothing and wasting water. One last thing we can do to protect Earth is recycling. If we use things again, it will save a lot of our earth's resources so we can save trees or anything else we use to make something else. It is very important to take care of our earth, because if we don't, it will die.

It is important to protect the environment because it keeps us healthy, and makes the Earth look beautiful. One way we can protect the environment is to pick up trash. Picking up trash helps keep us healthy, and make Earth look nice. If there is trash all over the ground, it would not be healthy for us because we could get sick from breathing in things that are bad for us. It is also important to pick up trash and litter because it can save animals. It can prevent trash from going into the ocean and killing animals. Recycling is another easy way to protect the environment because it allows us to use old items and turn them into new items. Recycling paper is good because we won't have to cut down anymore trees.

The environment is an important part of our well being. If we continue to stick with our dirty habits of throwing drinks out the window or miss the trashcan  and not pick it up, we become hoarders. If you have ever watched the T.V show about hoarders, you would know that most of them are not happy because of the way they are living. The trash that sits around and is never taken care of , stinks up the house, or they never have clean clothes because the laundry never a gets done. Sometimes, they never do their dishes or clean their bathrooms. I know that I would not enjoy living in a house like that, so why would you want to live in a world that people don't take care of. Not only does it improve our mental health when we take care of our things, but it also takes care of our physical health. Air pollution can intoxicate people and cause lung cancer. These are just some of the effects that take place when we don't take care of our belongings.

In the world a young boy just invented a environment cleaner. This helps keep the ocean clean, so far this invention has recovered so much plastic. This is important because it helps the earth. If we can prevent pollution it might help the human race survive in the future. What we do now will affect other more than we think. We need to protect the animals as well. With out the animals we would have no protein. We need to protect the earth before we have nothing.

The environment is such an important thing that needs to be taken care of more than it is now. We live in this environment, but we just keep harming it non-stop. The atmosphere is full of pollution which is not only bad for the environment, it is terrible for our health. Some people are unable to go outside all of the time due to pollution. Would that be your vision of the perfect childhood? Others have to wear masks on their face to protect their health. We need to take care of the environment that we live in! One day, it will be too late to fix this world we live in.

Protecting the environment is very important and there are many ways we can do it. The best way to protect the environment is by recycling.  We can also protect it by picking up our trash and not littering. We could go out and serve others and our community by having a service day that we go downtown and pick up trash. Protecting the environment is important to preserve it for future generations.

I think it is important to protect the environment. This is because without a protected environment, our air would not be fresh. We would get very sick with many diseases without fresh air. One way to help prevent this is to recycle. In my family and  my school, there are recycling bins. With everything that the environment gives us, we should be able to pitch in and help out a little bit.

The environment is important. We can keep our environment safe and healthy by planting trees and recycling.  We receive oxygen from trees. Since so many trees are being cut down, if we don't continue to plant trees we will start to loose oxygen. Humans do many harmful things to the Earth, including littering and not reusing our resources. One way to reuse our resources is to recycle. Recycling is reusing objects that have already been used. If every human decided to plant a tree and recycle, Earth would be a better place.

It is extremely important to protect the environment because if we do not, the world that we live we not be safe and healthy for all of us. Some things to do to help protect the earth are not to litter, to recycle, to reuse items, and to turn off devices when they are not in use. If our society keeps on harming the Earth, it will hurt essential resources that we need to live. The environment is a gift from God, so we should do our best to keep the Earth we live in clean. That is why we should protect the Earth.

If we cut down trees to replace that land with even more homes we will soon be running out of trees and land. If we don't have trees our world would be a lot more dull and we would need to walk around with fresh air tubes, so we could live and  breathe. If we don't protect the Earth and its environment, we will be ruining a gift God gave to us to love one another. We would not want someone to take something we own and destroy it in front of our faces. It is a great thing to have all the foundations to help the environment because without those programs the Earth would be in a lot worse condition than it already is.

Keeping the Earth clean is important because this is the only Earth we have. We should protect the Earth and not pollute it. If we pollute the Earth, we won't be able to pass it down from generation to generation. A way to help protect the Earth is to recycle. Recycling keeps the Earth clean, and let's other people use the object in a different way. Plus, this keeps us from running out of Earth's natural resources.

Keeping the environment in pristine condition should be a top priority for everyone. The environment is amazing and can be beautiful, but we have to take care of it. One thing you could do is take shorter showers. Another thing you can do is take care of the air. Pollution is a big problem with our environment today. You also need to protect the ocean. Many animals live in the ocean that are as unique as us or maybe more. To do this do not throw any trash into the ocean.

The environment is a very important part of all our lives. One way to help the environment is to stop cutting down trees to make room for houses/neighborhoods. Another thing that we can do is stop burning fossil fuels and use alternative sources. One example of this is we should stop using cars that run off of gasoline and use cars that run off of electricity. With these changes, the world will be a better place.

There are many things I do to protect the environment. One of the things I do is use reusable water bottles. Reusable water bottles are good for the environment because there are not as many plastic water bottles in landfills. I also turn off the water and lights when I am not using them. This helps by not wasting water and electricity. We should protect the environment because God created it for us.

Protecting our environment is one of the most import things we should do. The environment gives us food, water, and oxygen. Which are things we need to use to survive. Some ways we can keep our environment clean is by picking up trash as you see I on the road, or on the sidewalk. Another way is to recycle so plastic will be used more than once, and they won't have to use more of it to make water bottles and plastic plates. One more way to keep the environment clean is to throw away your trash so other people don't have to clean it up, and so it won't go into the ocean or other places that could harm animals.

The Earth is our home, and we are slowly tearing it down. With our high carbon emissions and out of control waste system, we are pollution and destroying the place our race has lived on from the start. We are using way more resources than we are putting back. Take the Amazon forest or China for example. The Amazon forest is one of the most diverse Eco systems and the largest forest in the world. But because of our need for wood, this place is being ripped down. In China, the children literally have smog days. Just like a snow day, but with toxic air instead of joy. If we want to live here for the next few thousand years, we need to change our habits.
