Sitting in the middle of a grassy field always makes you feel at home, though you have to be in the right spot. As I look beyond the small invisible circle that I call my own space, I feel like I am swallowed up in a green sea. Faraway there is a bird song that is faint yet beautiful. Besides that, silence is the only noise.  I see the grass slightly move as a gentle breeze passes through. It hits my face and my hair blows. The sky is like a canvas and the clouds are painted by a simple brush dipped in the whitest white paint. Another breeze sweeps the loose strands of grass off my paper, just as a broom would do.

-My appreciation of nature

We made special Public Service Announcements for entering a contest. The P.S.A.s were about being water wise. Max, Mitchell, and Brittany from our class were finalists, and 2 nice ladies from the Regional District office came and took pictures of the winning students, and our class all together (If you’d like to see my video, click here).

We all got recognized for our work on the P.S.A.s, and they gave us Smencils, which are pencils that smell like different things (bubblegum, root beer, tropical blast, cinnamon…etc.). Mine was bubblegum. Have you ever seen a P.S.A. on TV, or anywhere else? Have you ever made one?  

From my last post…

I think that global warming is NOT a good thing. But there is something to say against going and doing everything and anything you can possibly do to save our planet…

I have a very special guest writer on my post: my only cousin Kierra!

So Kierra, what do you think about this? Global warming, I mean?

Kierra: I think that some people are big on this “saving the planet” thing, and other people just don’t care.

What else can you say about global warming? How does it effect the world through your eyes?

Kierra: I think our world is getting destroyed everyday, slowly, but surely.

So what’s getting destroyed in our world?

Kierra: Our atmosphere, our Arctics, I don’t really know, but I know that since we are careful, it’ll take a long time.

Do you think we all can or should help?

Kierra: Definately YES!!

Thank you Kierra!

Now that you’ve heard Kierra’s opinions, what are YOURS?

I think that global warming is NOT a good thing. But there is something to say against going and doing everything and anything you can possibly do to save your planet.

If you think about it in my point of view, the sun we rely on for heat and light may not be there for much longer, since it is a burning ball of fire. Fires do burn out eventually. This came from my dad at first; he said that we shouldn’t go completely crazy over saving the planet. Although, I encourage anything that helps a little bit more while we still have our sun, and there is no need for getting way too obsessed with trying to save our environment. It is a big deal now, and a bigger deal later.

Let’s make sure we keep our air clean, and our streets clean as well. There is much more to talk about on this topic, but unfortuanely I can’t fit it all on this post. 

Make way for future environmental posts!!
