While I was brainstorming, I came up with two things that I did and are important for the sake of the environment. The first chore in my house that I had done was cleaning. I cleaned my home with various different types of chemicals like: Windex or Clorox. These chemicals are very strong and are not healthy for the environment because the fumes that they give off are let out to the air and humans, animals and plants breath it in. The second thing that I did was going through my neighborhood’s stores with food and drinks and look for glass bottles of water. I wasn’t surprised because out of 7 stores none of them carried glass bottles of water. This affects the environment because most of the people would choose a plastic bottle over glass bottle even if they would know that glass bottles are ecosystem friendly.
To help the environment I recycle garbage for six families including mine that live in my house. I think it is very important to recycle because even though we have separate garbage cans for regular, paper and glass or plastic garbage people still manage not to recycle. They put plastic or big loads of paper in the same garbage. I am the person who separates the waste and puts it into proper containers.I have one big concern about the environment because it becomes worse and worse in front of our eyes and we do little to help it. If more people would know that something as recycling is a huge help I think more of them would do it. In order for others and me to help the environment I need to learn how I can improve it and I education is the solution.

Good thoughts! Another bad aspect of using Windex and Clorox is that it is also bad for YOU personally. They are really harsh chemicals.
Perhaps next time try to separate your thoughts into smaller paragraphs so that they are easier to read.
I never really gave it a thouht how bad windex and clorox are. It is true that these chemicals are really harmful for the environment.I think that such things are really hard to quit on so chemicals that are less harmful (or none at all if possible) should be created otherwise we cant help the environment. People won't quit using them and more harm would be done to the environment.
I agree with Nida. I never thought about how bad windex and clorox are. It's crazy to think that most of the things that the supermarket sells, are really bad for the environment. It's sad to know that its going to take awhile till those things change.
Good job! I like the fact that you recycle and do it for others too. I agree carrying Glass bottle could be annoying but if buying glass bottle helps the environment little bit then I think people should consider to have it in store . We all need to get education about saving our environment !GO Green !
Hey i'm another person that became a fanatic at recycling and I'm the one who tries to seperate all the garbage of 5 families that live in my building. For the most part people have gotten better at it and have tried to cooperate only because they see I put so much effort into it so I think if you try to do right others will follow!
Yes, a lot of things in life are confusing and is hard to decide what to do in life. Explore throw education gives you an idea or passion in life. Try to explore by volunteering or find a part time job. It's hard to get everyone together to improve the planet. Especially everyone is so busy with their lives.
