Viva Earth!!!!

Want to die!?!?  Then keep abusing the Earth! People hurt this world by making toxic air, filthy water and turning the Earth into something like Venus, but there are ways to stop this to. Nobody wants to hurt our planet.

A way people hurt our home is toxic air. Ewww, the smokestacks and car exhaust create greenhouse gases. These destroy the ozone layer, which heats up the world and and is also called Global Warming and the greenhouse effect. Global warming will melt the ice, like in the North Pole, and cause flooding all over the globe. Then, with the heat, this will cause droughts everywhere. There would be no water for the inhabitants of this world. People also destroy the ozone layer by using harsh chemicals in everyday household items. For example, aerosol sprays and refrigerators, because these contain a non-eco-friendly chemical called: CFC (chlorofluorocarbon, a gas that is a compound of: carbon, hydrogen, chlorine, and fluorine).

Some ways to help the Earth's air are:

  1. use eco-friendly aerosol sprays without harmful gases like CFC's
  2. try to walk, bike or skate/roller-blade to a destination instead of using a polluting vehicle
  3. carpool, so friends can still get to their destination with one car instead of 2 or more
  4. use things like cars and lawn mower that use batteries instead of gas
  5. shut off and pull out all unused lights and plugs because factories use coal to produce energy, which makes smoke, yuck!

A second way people hurt the planet is filthy water. There are nasty factories that dump their sewage into water where animals live! This kills the poor creatures and they evacuate their homes. Humans also kill aquatic beings with oil spills and littered beaches. Giant boats that ship oil, drop some on the way, and animals like penguins, ducks, seals and many others get covered in oil. Most die a horrible death, but some survive with the help a kind-hearted people that resue them just in time. People are lazy sometimes and just litter beaches. WELL DON'T! Do not litter beaches because the wind can blow trash into the water and endanger animals.  For example, a seagull can eat a candy wrapper someone had thrown away a while earlier and die.! Some ways you can help the Earth's water is:

  1. DO NOT litter beaches, there are trash and recycle bins at beaches to put trash in to
  2. join a group of those people that help the poor animals that get covered in oil
  3. get together with friends to clean up a local beach (hey! people can even make a committee to clean beaches!)

People are hurting this world so much that it might turn into something like Venus!!! Like I said before, global warming will eventually heat up the whole planet! Venus has already suffered from the greenhouse effect. So it looks like Earth is heading in the same direction if nobody does anything. On Venus, it is impossible for anything to live because it is so hot (So hot that its temperature can melt lead!). If that were to happen on Earth, every single human, animal and plant would die without mercy. Unless people become more eco-friendly, then everyone will be in trouble. Follow the eco tips here and make up more, the Earth and her people will be safer than her sister. Here is a photo taken of Venus that shows its northern hemisphere, including its highest mountain range, Maxwell Montes ("it appears as a bright spot just bellow the center"). Its redish color comes from how hot the planet is (maybe Earth will look like this someday...):
 


In conclusion, people hurt this world with toxic air and filthy water, and this might even turn the world into something like Venus, but there are ways to stop this. So if humans can't let the world die, then go do the 3 R's: reduce, reuse, recycle; go conserve energy, go walk instead of using a car. Go help, instead of hurt. Viva Earth!
