(Or That`s the Way it is)

By Robert H. - Age 11

I think that if we had started recycling a long time ago we would have a better envirment. We also should have use natural based products to reduce harm to the envirment.

There isn`t a magic time machine that would bring us back to the time of the industrial revolution ,so we might have a chance to convince the people to use natural based products and tell what would happen if they don`t. I think that would be swell. But, let’s gets back to reality.

The envirment is failing because of the choices we have made and thought were improvements. Our population is growing and the animals` is reducing. If we keep this up we will overpopulate the planet and will wipe out the animal population.

Composting toilets are one of ways we can use recycling properly, and it will help plants to. Also, being vegan (which includes no animal bi-productes in your diet) will help and improve the animal kingdom.

Another problem is due to overpopulation we are wiping out the land that some animals call home. With our automobile, houses, skyscrapers, power plants and many more.

We are also wasting fossil fuels. Soon, we won`t have any left. Using man made electricity is also wasting fossil fuels, because the machines that conduct the electricity use oil to be fueled.

If everybody used solar energy and electricity, some of the problems with oil would be resolved. That’s one solution to oil. The other is that if we keep using cars that run on fossil fuels that will also lead to an oil crisis. Using heating and cooler machines are also an environmental hazard.

These machines are also using oil to be fueled. Using solar designs to heat and cool our houses, we would not need to use machines.

Using oil has had its major drawbacks. Plants and factories that use fossil fuels produce gas that comes up from the pipes in the ceiling which spreads out to the air.

Some ships dump oil out into the sea. This oil spreads and kills the fish. That also does a part in the decreasing of the animal population.

Living in straw bale homes with solar energy with cars that use minimal oil amounts, that would have a good affect on the environment.

To Nature!
