mother earth needs help

hey yall!  have u taken a look around lately?  yeah?  what'd u see?  snow, ice, salt?  see any pollution?  yes, even in winter there is pollution.  our planet is scarred by things like pollution(plastic bottles,random trash), acid rain, smog,and radioactive waste.  u may be thinking, "yeah?  what can i do about it?  im just a kid"   to me, it doesnt matter that ur just a kid.  if we all work together, we can cut down on pollution.  did u no, that there are huge gyres in the Pacific?  "wait, what's a gyre?"  a gyre is  a huge island made of plastics and other wastes.  there are several of these gyres in the middle of the pacific.  one of them is the size of texas.  to prevent more plastic being dumped, we can recycle.   to save trees, we can use mechanical pencils.  there are so many things we can do.  if anyone has any suggestions, please comment!!!!!

what we can do

we only have one earth, right?  yes.  is there another planet out there that can sustain life?  probably not.  is anyone else out there upset because of all the pollution that's lying around?  well, i sure hope so.  why should we keep on letting factories spew harmful smog into the air that we breathe?  why should we let nuclear plants dump poisonous wastes into our fresh drinking water?  we shouldn't.  there are things that we can do to keep our air and water clean.  like what, you may ask.  well, here are some things that you can do.
--turn off the lights when you leave a room. 
--try and take 5 minute showers to conserve water.
-- reuse empty water bottles, or buy hard plastic water bottles that you can use indefinitely.
--in winter, cover your windows with the insulation kits to keep the heat in.(hint: this saves money.)
-- turn off the water while sudsing a dish or washing your hair.
these are only a few of the thing that we can do to reduce waste. if anyone has any other ideas, please feel free to comment.  remember, we are the future.  we can do something about the pollution and the contaminated water, not only here in America, but also in third world countries.  we can have a cleaner planet, only if we work together. 

kids unite

hey there!  We the Kids is a blog that i created to help people get motivated to reduce pollution, recycle plastics and other materials, and conserve water.  the younger generation is going to inherit a polluted and damaged earth.  what can we do about it? 

here's some facts that i learned in science class today
-- 3 percent of water on the earth is fresh.  2 percent of that water is ice.  1 percent is available for human use.
--130,000,000 plastic bottles are manufactured per day.
--1500 of those bottles are thrown away per second.
--1 billion people in third world countries are without fresh drinking water.
--3900 children die every day from diseases caused by polluted water.  that's not counting the adults!!
we can do something about the pollution on this planet.  why should we have to put up with contamined water and smog filled air?  the truth is that we don't!!!  all im asking you to do is read my blog, recycle plastic, aluminum cans, and cardboard to reduce pollution.
