WATER

   Don't waste your drinking water by pouring it down the drain. Instead, pour it on a nearby thirsty plant or top off your fish bowl.
   Before leaving the bathroom or kitchen, double- check to make sure your tap isn't dripping. Millions of gallons of wasted water go down the drain every day because of leaky fausets.
    Install a low-flow shower head in all your bathrooms. Using less water in the shower means there is less energy required to heat the water.
    Do these things, and more, and we all can come closer to saving mother Earth. And if you have ideas on how we can save our planet, post it in the comments. Or, if you know my mom's email address, email my mom. And, if I like your idea, you might see it here, on YOU CAN!

MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE OIL SPILL

You have all read about the things I have written about the BP oil spill, but you haven't yet heard my opinions about it. I think that we haven't been taking care of our planet, the oil spill isn't the only example. There are many others too. There have been signs that we have ignored and failed to see. Global warming is one sign we have paid attention to. But there are other signs a few, not all, have failed to see. One is how trash that we leave on beaches and in lakes and rivers,so I suggest that we all pick up 5 pieces of trash of the ground and streets every week. Then by the end of the year, just Somerset could clean up more than half of the earth's litter. And if you ever go snorkling, or go rafting in a river, look closely for trash in the water. Then, if you find some trash in the water, please pick it up.
