**  Some people think it’s hard to go green. They say, “It’s too much money to pay for wind turbines.” It’s worth it to help our earth by not using so many fossil fuels. Some people think it’s a waste of time. Use the time we have since we only have one earth. Some people think, “Why should we do this?” Why, because if we don’t our world will not be healthy. We only have ONE EARTH, we need to save it. **
 * What can you do to help make a difference by going green? We need to help our environment. Fossil fuels create carbon emissions into the atmosphere. This causes Global Warming. You can be Green at school at home and outside. **

 * Here are some ways to help out at school. Did you know you could have a garden on a school roof? Gardens help schools from becoming too hot or too cold, and you can have fruits and vegetables at lunch. Reflective windows are good to have. Kids scored 25% higher on tests in natural lighting. Solar panels can be put on roofs too. The panels convert the sun into electricity. These are good ways to help out at school. **
