I am CRAZY

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I am CRAZY

I am CRAZY about the Earth.  Somebody said using a smaller font saves paper--good idea!  There's a hole in the Arctic because of global warming or so I've heard.  Is anybody else like me?  Are you concerned about it?  I'm really concerned but I know that by learning more we get to know how to help the Earth more.  Goodbye.

back to the Down to Earth

Definitely! The "hole in the Arctic" is technically a hole in the ozone layer over the Arctic, which is a long and complicated story. It was caused mostly by people using too many aerosol products, and other things with a certain type of chemical in them. I think they've mostly banned it now, though, so we ought to see the ozone hole getting smaller instead of bigger. I hope so.

 One good way to be eco-friendly is to use less electricity. Most electricity is still generated by burning fossil fuels, which generates CO2 and pollutes the atmosphere. So the less of it we use, the better.

I like to save electricity by running the ceiling fan instead of the air conditioner in the summertime. Taking cool showers also helps me stay cool, and saves the energy that would be used to heat the water.

What are some ways y'all help save the Earth?
