This article taught you ten creative ways to be green, One way to help was to start a walking-to-school club in your neighborhood instead of the bus picking your kids up. This would help the school by not spending so much money for gas and it would help the environment by not using much gas. Another way was making sure that your caps for fuel tanks in your car are screwed on tight, make sure it clicks three times before leaving because about one hundred seven million gallons of gas go into the earth's atmosphere by the United States each and every year. This would save gas for much more other things. The average american family orders about eighty-eight catalogues each year, imagine how many trees are cut down for all of those families. It is easier to just order stuff online. Some foods do not need to be cooked to a boil, you could just leave it on the stove then when the water is really hot then just turn off the stove and the heat that is still on the stove could finish cooking your food, this would save lots of energy. For hunters, buy lead-free bullets for your gun because it keeps all the toxins out of the animals habitat. You could also get a toilet that does not use much water, they use about a gallon of water for every flush when the old toilet uses about five, or you could get a toilet that does both, it has two buttons, one for liquid waste and solid waste. It would save so much water for drinking. Another way to be green is making your own toys out of recycled materials, this would reduce the use of plastic and factories wouldn't have to make as much so energy is saved and trucks wouldn't have to deliver them which is saving gas. Also, you should stop getting all the latest electronics because they probably consume more energy than older electronics or probably need more time to charge. Televisions and computers are two things that fit into new electronics. Finally, get the PowerMeter software which informs families how much energy they use. This will make them feel guilty and want them to start changing their habits.

Nice work Charly!
ReplyDeleteI think that the there is a lot of things and actions being done by many countries, but maybe if the government starts with projects and new laws of pollution and "being green", then it would get much better, but I think we are on the right path...
Cool article Charly!
ReplyDeleteI think the school is doing a great job with the enviromental problem. We recicle, that is a very way to start, but the school could some other things like use electrical energy just when is completely necessary, for example.
i think stanstead college does a lot of think to help the enviroment but some people dont resicle a lot
ReplyDeletewell i think a couple ways that could help this school by becoming green is always turning the lights off when you leave your rooms, turning off the computers after you usee them and not put then to sleep, whenever somone is done in the student center turn off the lights and the tv, sometimes i walk in there and the tv is on and noone is there. By doing these few things it could really help and make us go green!!
ReplyDeletei think that if we like everyone on the earth, was enviromently i think that we the earth wont serve and wont live alonger, i like this thing because i want to be enviromently frinedly, i think that its a great thing to do..
