Go Sun!
By: Gabriel C. I think people should start recycling and reusing more because it saves money, it’s good for the environment and it reduces what goes into the landfill. Recycling and reusing is good for the environment. When you throw something away without recycling or reusing it, it goes into a landfill. It takes thousands of years for some things to decompose. Recycling or reusing saves money. When you reuse something you use it again or make something out of it. That is why it saves money. Recycled materials are used to make new things. The only bad thing about products made from recycled materials is that when you buy something made out of recycled materials it seems to cost more. Now you know about recycling and reusing. Start doing it as soon as possible.
By: Alex T. Have you ever heard of solar energy? If not, it is energy from the sun. We should all use solar energy because we will not run out of sunshine. Plus, it is better for the earth. It is important to go solar. Solar energy is a good solution for the environment. If everyone uses solar energy we could make the earth a healthier place. This is necessary because the environment is important. You can use solar energy for so many things, such as heating your pool or lighting your house. There are many other uses of solar energy. The cost may seem high but in the end it is worth it. Of course, if it rains a lot you may think it isn’t worth it but you can still get solar energy when it is cloudy. Anyway, it’s for the earth. Plus, it would help create jobs because more people would be needed to put up solar panels. I strongly think we should all do this now. Well, what do you say? Will you go solar? Please, it’s for the planet that we live on. One, two, three, ready… go sun!
