Each year we set aside a time to celebrate our earth. Earth Day is observed on April 22. In class we’ve talked about the impact we have on Earth and how making responsible choices will help Earth’s resources last longer.
What changes will you make in your life so that your “footprint” on Earth won’t be too deep or wide?

How can I keep the earth safe and clean? I can do this by keeping the earth clean and not messy. I will throw away my trash and recycle things like newspapers, bottles, and drawing paper. I will not break things so I don’t have to pay for them and keep getting more.

Comment byI will make my footprint smaller by turning off the faucet when I’m done using it. I will also take less time to take showers and I am not going to drink a lot of soda cans and eat a lot of candy. I will also use less electricity by turning off the light after nobody is in the room. I will recycle things so they won’t be wasted. Something that goes into the trash can not ever be used again! noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! so recycle so it can be reused and reduce. That way we won’t have to worry.
