iReduce iReuse iRecycle

Okay! First of all iReduce iReuse iRecycle, as you can see in the title. These three concepts are very important to me. One of my main goals in life is to find a way to cure the Earth. We have spread so much pollution, wasted so much energy, and killed so much nature that our civilization is on its last limb. If I live the life as an environmentalist at a young age then I'll feel and be better when I get to the famous environmental engineer/scientist that I will some day be known as.
There are many ways now that we can help save the environment:
  • Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
  • Use alternate energy like solar, wind, and geothermal instead of relying on big companies that you know just burn fossil fuels.
  • Conserve anything and everything.
  • Pollute as least as you can.
  • Use/wear environmentally safe products.
  • And many many more; for more information on this topic go to http://www.wecansolveit.org/.

Also remember this: recycling isn't everything. That is why recycling is the last resort. It takes energy to recycle any material (e. g. paper, aluminum, tin, etc.). This means that the companies are burning down coals, oils and natural gases to make the energy to recycle them. Stick to reducing and reusing. You can easily reuse that water bottle that you used when hiking, you can easily say, "Hey Mom, how about using the back of that paper there?", and you can most definitely turn off the lights when you leave the room. You may not think you are helping by doing these things but you really are.

Thank you very much and don't forget what I've told you!!! :D

Earth inhales the
Pollution
Everyday.

She cries out
To us in
Everyway.

She
Sees
The damage,
Feels
The damage,
But
Doesn't know
What to say.

Her trees used to be
Very vast,
But they're
Going away
Very fast.

Waters
Polluted,
Air
Polluted,
EVERYTHING
POLLUTED.

We must
Save ourselves,
Save the animals,
Save HER!

One day she
Will be
Barren,
Barren
As a desert,
As an empty
Jug of
Orange juice,
Like, like, like,
The cut down
Rain forests,
No minerals,
No nutrients,
No nothing.

Polar bears
What happens
To them when
All of the ice
Melts?

The rain forests,
What happens
To the
Animals
That
Live There
When we cut them
All down?

The ozone layer,
What happens when
We deplete it enough
That all of the
Ultraviolet radiation
Comes pouring out
At us?

What happens then?
WE
ALL
DIE!

What will it be,
When she is
Gone,
Gone forever,
And ever,
And ever...
