Laura Beth Gibbons, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

Stop! Pick up that trash right now. “I hate when people litter.” Here’s a way to help if you hate it too. You can help by picking up trash. Another way to help is by turning off the lights. You can also help by turning off water. Those are ways you can help save the Earth.
Laylei Lawson, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

Oh no! It’s almost Earth Day and I don’t know what I’ll do for it. I better think fast. Let’s see, here’s what I’d do. I could clean up trash in Warrior’s Path Park, but then other kids may annoy me with their games. I know I could plant some trees. Wait, I’m already doing that because my mom is starting an apple orchard. I know I’ll use less water. Wait, I barely use any at all what should I do? I know. I’ll check for weeds in the forest when I’m hiking. That will help the plants. What are you going to do on Earth Day?
Liam Whitehead, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

April twenty-second is Earth Day. I’m thinking ways to take care of our planet. One way is to plant more trees. With trees, we can breathe. Second might be the hardest. Stop polluting. Air pollution and water pollution. Not just one, both because soon the poles might just melt causing catastrophic destruction. As well as killing species that might be extinct in the future. Third, is to keep the three R’s going: reuse, reduce and recycle so we can live on Earth longer. There are many more problems, but it would take all day to mention those. Stop polluting so Earth doesn’t go extinct. Help me in this fight.
Liam Wilkerson, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

What do you do on Earth Day? I pick up trash everywhere. I help my community and the state. Sometimes I grow apple trees. This is what I do on Earth Day.
Lukeman Malik, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

Happy birthday to me…. oh sorry. I was singing my Earth Day Birthday song. I want to reduce, reuse, and recycle this Earth Day birthday! Like after I get done with cardboard or a box, I will recycle it. It is important to keep the Earth clean so in the future we will have a better life. Who knows? There might be other articles like this in the Kingsport Times News.
Mallory Jones, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

Do you know that people these days do not take care of this planet? I bet you can help me take care of it. Do you know one thing we can do? Stop dumping everywhere. It is time we do something. Can you help me? I know you can. Thank you for listening to my story.
Melodey Swiger, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

This is how I will take care of our planet, how would you? I would recycle and I would pick up trash and I would help animals by doing that. Get involved with a cleaning program to help our Earth and animals to be healthy and clean and the pollution can maybe hurt us. Plant trees after cutting one down, if you litter it will hurt many animals so please stop littering and also recycle, reduce, reuse! I hope you will help animals and the Earth and I hope you enjoyed!
Molly McDivitt, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

The world is an amazing place and if I was not so lazy this is what I would do to help it. I can’t say littering because everybody knows not to, but I am anyway. Smoking, everybody knows it’s bad for you, but it’s also bad for nature. I don’t know what I can recycle, but it is good for nature, so do it. If you’re not lazy like me, do those things.
Nathan Arnold, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

I’d say ruining the planet is bad so we can help by taking care of it. So, this is what I put. So, we don’t litter and we don’t cut down trees because trees help us breathe and take care of nature.
Nathaniel Swiger, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

Earth Day is a day to help Earth. Here are some ways how. Pick up trash so the air does not get polluted. Start planting trees and let them grow. Last, stop people from cutting down trees. That is how to keep Earth clean and keep it that way.
Nick Glover, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

Earth Day is April 22nd. Just around the corner! What can we do to help the planet? We need to recycle plastic, glass, aluminum, etc. As the saying goes “recycle, reduce, and reuse!” Pollution is one way to disrespect the Earth. On pretty days, instead of cars, use any kind of outdoor items to travel to a close or nearby place. We all know we litter. Encourage everyone to clean up and stop littering! Remember to continue to help take care of the planet. Even if it’s not Earth Day.
Olivia Smith, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

Earth Day, I like cleaning Earth. Earth Day is April 22, when people take care of Earth and clean it. One way to take care of our planet is picking up trash. Another way is to go to the park or a place with wildlife and clean up. Also, try to reuse things such as a cup or a bottle and reduce such as water in a sink or power. Maybe we should take care of Earth every day!
Owen Nieto, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

It’s almost Earth Day. What could we do to help the Earth? To help the Earth you could recycle, reuse, and reduce. You could also pick up trash if you see it. One more thing you could do is encourage people to stop littering. That’s only a few of the ways we could help the Earth. There are plenty more though.
Riley Wheeler, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

Earth Day, yay! What are some ways we could make our Earth cleaner? We could plant some more trees because everybody is chopping them down. We could recycle so we don’t waste cans, plastic, and paper. We could also ride our bikes more than driving cars because then our air would be fresher and healthier. There wouldn’t be as much air pollution. These are a few ways to help our planet. Of course there are others, but these are the first that came to me.

Earth Day is a very important day. It is the day we celebrate our Earth. Today, I will tell some ways we can help the Earth. Recycling can help many aspects of our planet. So, try to recycle more. Littering can be really harmful to the planet. Try not to litter as much if you already do. Wasting energy is a very bad thing to do. Try to turn off lights when you are not using them. I hope you want to help the Earth. Maybe it will become a better place.

Now, just stop. Think about our Earth and how it helps us live. Now just try and to think what we would do without Earth. Now think of what we can do to help Earth. One way is to reduce, reuse, recycle and pick up trash. Another way is to encourage other people not to litter and don’t pollute. When you get a chance, ride a bike instead of driving a car. Now, if we do all this we can help Earth, so let’s get to work.

Tanner Mims, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers

What are some ways we can protect our environment? First, I think that we should not be as careless when we throw trash out into the streets, fields, and even in people’s lawns. Also, recycling can help improve the conditions of the environment. Finally, I think that we should prevent pouring any car gas or harmful liquids into our environment. These are some ways I think we can help protect our environment.
Abigail Tate, 6th, Yuma Elementary, Ms. Mullins

What is a way to help the environment? I think that people should ride bikes or walk more often instead of driving cars. The main reason why is because cars produce C02 in the air and that effects global warming. Global warming is an awful thing that impacts the environment. It can cause seasons to be warmer than they already are. Also, it makes water in ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans go down so therefore, animals and humans can’t get water. This is why I think people should ride bikes or walk instead of drive cars.
Addison Miller, 6th, Yuma Elementary, Ms. Mullins

There are several ways we can protect the environment. One is by picking up trash. Another is riding bikes instead of driving. I would like to keep the environment clean, so I think that these two things could help. Also, it could help prevent sickness from pollution. We could plant more trees to help protect the environment, too. I think if we did these three things, we could help protect the environment.
Andrew Broome, 6th, Yuma Elementary, Ms. Mullins

What are some ways I can help protect the environment? Recycling is a good way I can help protect the environment. I can also pick up trash that was thrown on the ground. We can do fundraisers, too. We could also do water clean-up programs. These are some amazing ways I can help protect the environment.
Austin White, 6th, Yuma Elementary, Ms. Mullins

What are some ways we can protect our environment? One way I think we could protect our environment is we could make companies quit putting so much toxic gas and pollution in the air. Another way, we could also protect the environment is to make stricter laws on trash being dumped in the ocean. The last way is we could make a trash clean-up organization that picks up trash and other sorts of stuff. Those are a few ways that I think that we can help protect the environment.
Brayden Winegar, 6th, Yuma Elementary, Ms. Mullins

What are some ways to protect the environment? Well, one way is to pick up any trash you see and recycle it. Also, another great way is to not throw trash on the ground or in the ocean. Finally, in my opinion the best way to protect the environment is to stop polluting and destroying the environment. These are some ways to protect the environment.
Brett Rhoton, 6th, Yuma Elementary, Ms. Mullins

One way we can help our environment is to start a trash committee. Even though there is already one at our school, I think it is a good thing to do. Also it is a fun committee because we get to talk and do good at the same time. Another reason is we get to do it twice a week. That is how I would help the environment.
Chase Bellamy, 6th, Yuma Elementary, Ms. Mullins
