I did 2 journal prompts
Today i will _______ for the earth.
Today i will recycle for the earth.

Do you think it's easy to forget to recycle? Why do you think it is important to recycle?
I think it is not easy to forget to recycle and i think it is important to recycle because it prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials and reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators.

5 Slogans That Help Promote Recycling
1. Do something drastic, cut the plastic!
2. Don’t be a punk! Recycle your junk!
3. Recycle every day instead of throwing paper and plastic away.
4. Recycle all the time so our Earth can be sublime.
5. Don’t throw it away, it can be used in some other way.

# data[].attributes.body
What are some of the benefits of eating organic foods?
Grown with natural fertilizers (manure, compost).
Weeds are controlled naturally (crop rotation, hand weeding, mulching, and tilling).
Pests are controlled using natural methods (birds, insects, traps) and naturally-derived pesticides.
Organic farming is better for the environment (Organic farming practices reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy. Farming without pesticides is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as people who live close to farms.)
Richer in nutrients
Overall just HEALTHIER for you and the environment

We need to take care of our planet because if we don't, all we will have in a few years to remember its beauty is these picture. Soon, future generations won't get the chance to see the northern lights, or the beautiful rivers and oceans of our world. The increase in carbon emissions clouds us from seeing the beautiful sky. The increase in plastic production- especially single-use plastics- litters our waterways. The picture below is a painting I did when I was 8 years old.

This is a corner of a small park near my house. There are many little wild rabbits living in the grass, squirrels jumping in the trees. When I took the picture, the world was quiet except for the singing of the birds. It is a pleasure for me to go into nature and breathe the fresh air.

53. What does it mean to live simply?
Living simply means to own enough materials and items that you use it on a daily bases. Minimalist is a way of living to keep what you need and throw away what you want.

This isn't really a nature trip, but I dug up some ground in my backyard. I started to plant a garden because my mom wanted it. We planted a lemon tree, some Capsicum annuum, mint bush, as well as birds of paradise. It's looking pretty good. Here's a picture of the Capsicum annuum.

This is a picture that I took from a propeller plane flying over the East China Sea. These partially sunken islands are unnamed and (mostly) uncharted and lie about halfway between the Okinawa Main Island and the smaller Kumejima Island in Japan. The waters surrounding Okinawa are some of the most beautiful oceans I have ever seen. The beaches are known to be a clear, emerald green and are filled with wildlife. On planes, you can sometimes spot dolphins in the bays and on boats you can watch the sea turtles glide right underneath the surface of the water. The ocean is a massive part of the this planet, and finding hidden gems such as these islands make the Earth so much more exciting to uncover.

# data[].attributes.body
24. We must preserve nature because...
By preserving nature, Earth and all its inhabitants will have a constant supply of clean water and air. By preserving wildlife we can have a healthy and functional ecosystem. If we try protecting nature, we can preserve it for future generations.

This is a picture of a lake my family and I passed by when we drove through Banff and Jasper, two national parks in Canada. Some lakes were reflective like this one, others had waterfalls, and some were a pale sea green. These lakes we often drove by or hiked to on our trip. On our drives, we also passed by a moose on a small piece of land in a lake and a moose on the side of the road we drove by. Other hikes and sightseeing spots, you could see big horned sheep. Hence, it is always important to protect nature and the life within it so we can always enjoy the beauty of new surroundings.

Make a list of everything you can think of to recycle.

1. Plastic bags
2. Plastic  bottles
3. Newspapers
4. Magazines
5. Catalogs
6. Junk mail
7. Printer paper
8. Envelopes
9. Gift Wrapping Paper
10. Egg Cartons
11. Milk Cartons
12. Soda Cans

23. Brainstorm some alternative fuel ideas. How would these be good for the Earth?

1.  Hydrogen Fuel
2. Nuclear Fusion
3. Electric
4. Water
5. Nuclear Power
6. Dams
7. Wind Power
8. Solar Power
9. Hydraulic Power
10. Perpetual Motion Machine

All of these fuel alternatives and fuel generators are devices that reduce emissions. Although some of these are only theoretical and are not possible yet(perpetual motion machine and nuclear fusion), they will one day be possible and thus will be an alternative. The most interesting one that no one takes into consideration is nuclear power. Though nuclear is thought of as destruction, the emissions it produces is very minimal. The only problem is the nuclear waste which of course can easily be handled if dumped into an unpopulated area.

I see the effects of pollution when...
I look outside at night, and see that I can barely see any stars. When I pass by Diamond Jamboree and see those huge smoke stacks from behind the district.
When I go on hikes and see litter and other trash thrown on the path.
When I see pictures of the smog and air conditions in places like China

1. Why is it important to recycle?

Every piece of plastic that humans fail to recycle indirectly cuts our lives shorter. A common misconception about plastic pollution is that it only negatively affects marine animals, like sea turtles. This is partially correct, as plastic pollution in the sea is detrimental to the wellbeing of marine animals like sea turtles, but this also indirectly harms the same human who litters or doesn't recycle. Every plastic, even the smallest pieces of plastic that get blown away from the wind, contributes to the emission of atmospheric greenhouse gases. These gases are melting ice caps, filling up bodies of water and making oceans rise, and will eventually make the air so warm that all of our water will evaporate that transforms our beloved Earth to an inhabitable desert.

This is a picture of the backcountry slopes in the Northern area of Lake Tahoe.  In my skiing trip here, I went on almost all slopes not including other backcountry areas. I wanted to ski in this area, for the snow was untouched and it would be just me and nature. But I came to the conclusion to let nature live on its own and progress, especially since this area of backcountry was home to a lot of wild animals. So, I did my part in preserving nature that day.

12. I see the effects of pollution when ________.
I see the effects of pollution every time I go outside, more significantly every time I go back to China. They say it is always cloudy in China and that happens for a reason. There is so much pollution in China that the clouds are actually clouds of harmful gases, such as methane and carbon dioxide.

Today I took a walk with my family and on that walk there were very little people walking. Not that many cars driving on the road, and I didn't see anyone ride their bikes. I walked for a total of 60 minutes and I enjoyed going outside for a change.

Is it better to use paper or plastic?
It's better to use paper, simply because plastic produces more carbon from the fact that it is made out of oil. Both are really bad, with paper hurting trees. But paper is the lesser of two evils.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to recycle because It reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills which helps lessen greenhouse gasses.

10. Is it necessary to own a car?

It really isn't necessary to own a car, and there are plenty of reasons not to. There are many other different types of transportation. You can bike, walk, run, or before Corona Virus  came around, you could even take public transportation. These are all better than personal cars, because cars emit a lot of greenhouse gases, and if everyone drives their own car, it contributes a lot to global warming. If you walk, run, or bike, it does not produce as much greenhouse gas. Also, if you take public transportation, it is emitting just as much greenhouse gas (or just a little more) than 1 person driving a car. However, multiple people are riding it and benefiting from it, making it more efficient and less harmful to the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Recycling is important because it can cause air pollution. It can also prevent resources being wasted.

Is it necessary to own a car?

While using public transportation is much more environmentally friendly than using your own car, many people depend on their car for their job or for driving their family members around. Buses and trains simply can't always satisfy someone's personal needs of transportation. However, people should be encouraged to use public transportation whenever possible and convenient for themselves. Eco-friendly electric cars are also becoming more common. So is it necessary to own a car? The answer is yes in some cases, but usage of public transportation should be more strongly encouraged.

3. We are lucky Earth provides us with...

We are lucky Earth provides us with a protective magnetic field around the planet. Without a strong and stable magnetic field we would be fried by solar flares and cosmic rays.

When I was in fifth grade, I had a trip to Antelope Canyon with my parents and it gave me unforgettable memories there. Antelope Canyon is the product of millions of years of water erosion. With tall winding walls, it’s an amazing monumental sandstone sculpture made by nature. And every part of sculpture is such beautiful and mysterious. That trip made me deeply appreciate the greatness of the earth.

The most wasteful example of something in modern history to me would be cruise ships. Cruise ships not only waste vast amounts of gas, hundreds of pounds of food are thrown away. If people traveled in a different way, the total amount of wastage of resources could be reduced.

I went on a long road trip over winter break, and we went hiking on a tall hill. It was very breezy and there was a large body of water that looked like a giant rice patty. I still am not sure what it was. It was very relaxing and cool to stand up there with the wind in my face. It was very scenic and made me appreciate the Earth.

Pierre Velo

Roses are red violets are blue
I know it’s hard, but you’ll make it through
With your head up high
Your friends by your side
Ready to hold you
Invade you cry
You have so much left
So much to do
That alone’s a motive
For you to fight through
And the roses are still red
The violets are still blue
They’ll be there for a while
And so will you.

I go on walks through nature mostly everyday

Last summer I visted Yosemite National Park where lots of nature and creatures thrive. I got to see so many mountains, waterfalls, and, animals. But this wouldn't be possible without efforts to keep it clean and organized. It's an extremely beautiful location that is very well kept. National Parks do their very best to keep these parts of nature preserved so everyone from around the world can experience it. They create laws, pick up trash, and much more because places like these are significant to Earth and need to be protected. Happy Earth Day!

10. Is it necessary to own a car?

Realistically, Earth will inevitably be inhabitable due to pollution. 4.6 million people die yearly because of the adverse effects of pollution. The mitigation strategies in place to limit pollution are not sufficient enough to ensure our survival on Earth. For instance, the 'one-child policy' in China is detrimental to society because there would be a lack of younger employees to replace those who have retired. At this rate, we will have a "job employment" crisis instead of an "unemployment" crisis.

I barely have any hope for this world, but to decrease pollution, we could transition from using vehicles which run on gasoline to electrical vehicles. Not only does this alleviate pollution, but currently, gas prices are so low that everyone will start buying gas. This will cause inflation due to the immense distribution of money, thereby causing our economy to crash. However, by then, the price of gas should rise due to demand rapidly increasing, so the preeminent issue here is pollution. Hopefully electrical cars will be cheaper someday.

Littering is so bad for the planet because it can easily pile up. Everyone on Earth has probably littered once and that's already more than 7.5 billion pieces of trash laying around getting picked up in the winds. These pieces of trash build up and would eventually end up in the sea and harm sea life.

Why is it important to recycle? Recycling is so important for us since waste has a negative impact on the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
1. You can recycle bottles and cans to prevent them from lying around
2. Use more glass or porcelain and not plastic
3. Pick up any trash when you see it
4. Don't litter and encourage other people to not litter
5. If you have any kind of recyclable item at home such as paper, plastic, metal, foam, etc, recycle it and don't have it lay around.

1. Why is it important to recycle

Recycling is very important because waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment. Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from trash in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution that is caused by waste. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials so that forests can be preserved.

# data[].attributes.body
Prompt: Is it necessary to own a car?
I believe that in today's society, a car is necessary to get things done. Today, almost all people have to travel long distances to get to work, get groceries, go to school and more. Although walking or biking is an option, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to reach certain places just by walking or biking. Driving also saves a lot more time than walking or biking. However, most cars are harmful to the environment and cause pollution. Therefore, to help the Earth, if walking or biking is an option, one should definitely choose it over driving. If you are only traveling short distances, it is a better choice to walk or bike than to drive a car. This would greatly reduce the pollution in the environment.

Why do we need to take care of the Earth?
We need to take care of the Earth because of the negative effects that might occur if we don't. For example, if any of the trash from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch gets bigger, it could end up being horrible for the community. Additionally, if we don't take care of the Earth, some of our natural resources might go down. That would be horrible for our survival.

47. How can I cut back on waste?

I can cut back on waste by not buying things unnecessarily that I will use once and throw away afterwards. I can also cut back on waste by being careful about not breaking things. Furthermore, I can cut back on waste by not using disposable products such s disposable plates, plastic bags at grocery stores, foam cups, and more!
