Mik Going Green At Home

** My family and I are figuring out ways to go green. So here are

some good web sites for you to figer out good and simple ways to go

green and help the envirenment:

Here is my persuasive for good ways to go green:

=    =   = //__ Save The Earth And Go Green __// = 
 * Come on, it’s time to make a difference and save the world by going green. You may have heard about global warming and how fossil fuels are going to run out so now it’s your chance to pick up the pace and save are earth for future generations. First, I want to talk about how you can go green at school and at home. I am also going to tell you ways to use less fossil fuel and start using alternative fuels. **
 * You might start going green at your school. One way you can make your school green is plant a garden. If you plant a garden outside then you can use those fresh vegetables in your cafeteria. Another simple way to go green is to shut down your computers. If you shut down your computers when there not in use you will save money and energy. Ask if you can start using an alternative fuel for your school bus. By doing this you will not be polluting the air and the air will be fresh and clean. You and your classmates can make a difference and maybe other schools might even use your example and go green them selves.  **
 * Now let’s talk about how you and your family can go green at home. First, use a power strip for your T.V. If you use a power strip you can turn off your T.V. and save energy, which is, saving fossil fuels and that is better than leaving your T.V plugged in. Start using florescent lights. The lights last longer and save energy and are good for the environment. Turn the water off when brushing your teeth. If you turn the water off then you will save energy and water. When you go green at home you can save electricity, which will save money. **
 * It is good to try to use alternative energy sources besides fossil fuels. Wind power is one of all the good alternatives. Wind power is good because it does not cause pollution, it’s becoming cheaper, and wind will not run out. Solar power is good to be used as an alternative. Solar power will not run out, it’s useful in remote places, and it does not cause pollution. Waterpower is the third alternative I will tell you about. Waterpower does not cause pollution, most of the earth has moving water, water is always available, and waterpower is cheaper and easier than fossil fuels. So all these alternatives are better to use than fossil fuels. **
 * Some people may ask why now? Why do we have to change? Our ancestors never had to “go green”. Well, your ancestors never had to save the environment because they were just finding the fuels and we have used then ever since. That’s why now our earth is polluted and we are running out of fossil fuels. Others may question why do I have to do this? Just one little thing I do is not going to change any thing. Actually it will. If you do it more people will and before you know it, it will be you and everyone else working together. Again, someone may think I can’t do all this because I can’t afford it. If you can’t afford some things then go for the things you can. It’s as simple as recycling your newspaper instead of throwing it away. So even if you think you can’t there is always a solution. **
 * So every body try to go green. It takes as much as turning off the T.V. So go green at home, school, and work on using alternative energy sources. So get up and take action and start helping to make a better place to live. **
