Making Da Diff :)

Although I know that many people around the world are trying to save the earth by doing many things, I think that the most important and reasonable way to save the Earth is the 3 R's, which stand for reuse, reduce, and recycle. These 3 R's are involved in everyday life even though many people ignore them. The first R, reuse. There are many objects in our daily life that we can use to prevent wastage. Such as, using both sides of paper, so that the other side of paper is not wasted. As most of us know, paper comes from trees, and the more paper we want, the more trees are cut down. Trees give us oxygen, and so if more trees are cut down, we receive less fresh air, and animals lose their homes. The second R, is reduce. One of the many ways to reduce is by reducing the amount of electricity we use at home. The less we use, not only are we saving money, but we are also saving the Earth from many types of pollution. Such as, light pollution, sound pollution and air pollution. Finally, the last R. Recycle. Recycling is a major thing that I think if everyone did, we could make a big difference. By recycling, we are also reducing and reusing. There are many things we can recycle, such as plastic, paper, etc. When recycling, the products are sent to a recycling plant and are made into new things. This means that we are REUSING the same material but get new products. If we are reusing the same material, it means that we are REDUCING the amount of trees that need to be cut down or the amount of plastic bottles that need to be made. To me, they are all important however, it is up to US to put these into action. If we work together, WE can all save the Earth no doubt :)

Courage

Courage to me means being able to try something new without hesitating. For example, I really want to skydive but I’m afraid to or being able to make a new friend on the first day of school. To me, it also means being able to stand up for yourself when you need to. Like if your being bullied but you stand up to the bully. Not showing people that you are afraid and also never saying "I can't do it." Never give up when you do say “I can’t do it.” Being able to change the world and the way people see it. The time that I showed courage was when I represented my class in a story telling competition but I still haven’t overcome my fear of stage fright yet.
