Happy Earth Day!!!

Hey there Diamondbacks!

I am really excited about the answers that I am getting from you! I loved hearing what you thought about the snowshoe hare and I also loved the figurative language that you wrote about the ocean. I still wish that I could get a few more comments on each before I give you the answers or post some of the most creative examples of figurative language. In order to do this, I am going to give you one more day to post your thoughts and knowledge on both blogs.

Today I made a movie about our Earth. I made the movie because it is Earth Day but really it is more about making a promise to care about the Earth everyday.

video

After you finish watching the movie I would like you to create two lists. One will be a list of all the things that you can think of that humans are doing to destroy our Earth and the other will be a list of things that other humans are doing to save the Earth.

Once you make your two lists I would then like you to write a promise to either be a person who will destroy our Earth or a promise to be a person who will help to save our Earth. Diamondbacks, the choice is yours, but remember, we have only one Earth...

These are some bad things:

They are coting the trees.
the people throw trash into the ocean.
The animal in the ocean get to sick.
the pingening dosen't have no ice because the
sun got it's milk now it's on the ocean .

These are some good things;:
If you see a paper on the street, pick it up please!
Don't waste too many paper.
Recycle please.

Dear Ms. Livingston,

I hope you don't mind, but I changed up my lists just a little bit.

First, a list of all the things I have done throughout my life to help destroy the Earth:
- driven to work, rather than walking, taking the bus, riding a bike, or carpooling
- thrown away recyclable items
- gotten groceries in plastic bags
- left the TV, computer, and lights on when I wasn't using them
- watered my lawn using lots of water
- left the water running when I wasn't using it
- wasted paper

Next, here are things I have done to help save the Earth:
- rode my bike and carpooled to work
- recycling or re-using as much waste as possible
- used paper or canvas bags to get groceries
- turned off the lights, computer, and TV when I wasn't using them
- bought food from local farmers' markets, so it doesn't have to travel so far
- measured, then tried to reduce, my carbon footprint
- turned the water off when I wasn't using it
- re-used paper (today, we made new paper out of old paper and unused toilet tissue)
- bought organic foods

I promise to focus the rest of my life on continuing everything on that second list. I also promise to look at that first list and make some changes!

Happy Earth Day!!!

Ms. Scott

If people want to save the earth.They can't do global warming.So don't throw away cans in the trash because the aluminum cans can be used as energy for three hours.Thats why you don't pollute. P.S I promise to save the earth.

#1 Some humans don't care about the earth and thats how other people knows who's doing the destroying. But the earth cares more about the people saving the earth.


#2 The people that saves the earth telling the people that destroys the earth and asking why they want to destroy the earth and why did they think it would be their choice to do that and by saying the truth.


#3 I am saying the truth Ms. Livingston because I agree with you that I want to save the earth........
