Going Green

There are so many people that want to do good in the world now. I hate to say it, but our world has become very filthy and completely unhealthy. With all of the litter, pollution, and unsafe air – it’s a shock that we’re still living on this world. But the thing is, people wear peace sign shirts, wear shirts that have to do with going green, and they do nothing to help the planet. It’s a sad thing if you ask me. I try my best to do little things to help, because every little bit counts. There are so many ways you can help our planet by even changing some of the things you do.

In my home, we recycle as much as we can; we recycle all plastics and cans we consume, we do other things like buy organic products and try to help out. We don’t just throw our trash on the sidewalk – we use the trashcan at all times, and we don’t take too long of showers. There are a lot of other things people, including us could do though. You can change all your light bulbs and install compact fluorescent light bulbs; you can always use cold water when washing your clothes, and instead of driving your car everywhere and spending gas – you can easily get on your bike and ride somewhere. Or even walk. There are so many other ways to go green too. We all just need to think about what we’re doing, and learn about different ways to help out.

In my opinion, people are just getting more and more lazy everyday. We need to start doing things and start changing things. There are so many easy ways to help the planet and none of us are doing anything about it. We wear shirts that symbolize peace, going green, and saving the planet; but we don’t actually do any of it.

In conclusion, I think that we really need to start making some major changes. This world is going in the gutter; and we can change that. We have the power to do anything if we set our minds to it. All we need is a little change, because right now our world is not even safe around us. That way when people do go and buy the shirts that symbolize peace and recycling, we’ll actually mean it. And wear it with pride. We all want to make change happen, but there’s a huge difference in wanting and doing.
