Breathing Deeply In the past the world was happy.

By Chace Benson As I stand here, breathing deeply.

There was no hole in the ozone layer.

I think how little time we have.

There were no pollutants, there were no cars.

The ozone layer has a hole.

Pitch together, help the earth.

The earth is taking its deadly toll.

Maybe we can fill that hole.

Buildings fall and mountains rumble.

As I stand here, breathing deeply. . .

As I stand here, breathing deeply. . .

Make the earth not hate us so.

In the future what will happen?

As I stand here, breathing deeply. . .

Will we lose our co2?

The world will burn, if we don’t change our ways.

Will the world flip inside out?

If we don’t. . .

As I stand here, breathing deeply. . .

As I stand here, not breathing at all.

Destroying Earth By: Daniel Lysack People destroy this land for the pleasure of themselves. Through pollution and through littering. Then cars came with their exhaust. You said you’d stop. Factories, paper mills, making to many houses. Trains, airplanes, taking ALL the natural resources. Space travel and more. You ignored your promise. Then lately you realized what had to be done. You redeemed yourselves. You went Green. Keep it that way ##

The Environment By: Connor Gutenberg

Our environment is getting destroyed every day of our lives So everyone should know not to litter and recycle Because in the blink of an eye The earth could be a huge landfill

I would imagine no one would want The earth to look like that So all you have to do is Reduce Reuse Recycle # #

!"# #

Our Environment Every little green thing helps the environment. If we don’t be green now, the Earth will be a garbage ball, but if we all be green now the Earth will be a better place to live on. Air is the thing that keeps us alive. We are making the air we breathe dirty. By killing trees we are really killing ourselves. If we stop making the air dirty and make it clean, we will make Earth a better place to live on. Recycling is a great thing to do. Terra-cycling is kind of like recycling but it’s recycling garbage into cool stuff. If we do all of this, the Earth will be a healthy and a green place to live on!

Even though were going green it’s not going well We should compost, Not waste paper and every time we chop down a tree Plant a new seed and make sure you remember the green cycle.

What Would Happen? By: Courtney Bryant

What would happen‌ If the birds stopped chirping, The bugs stopped buzzing, The flowers stopped blooming and, The trees stopped growing, If that was to all go away, Life would be less beautiful, How would we fell that we ruined the plant? What would make us smile on our worst days? That is what will soon happen to earth, If we do not respect and heal it, What would you do to stop it?

Our Earth By: Madison Templeton

This earth is ours So we must preserve it, If we pollute it We don’t deserve it. We must fix it If it’s a mess we make, Or endangered animals The earth will take.

The Earth By: Jesse Lawrence What is the Earth? What is it worth? Earth is rare with all of its clean air. There is no need to tear it apart, but we should repair our home, EARTH. All of the animals like the beaver or bear will eventually run out of space in the forest. That is why the people of Earth should try to reforest, our land. Our people should take each others hands, To put our planet together again. From our land to our sea, We can all agree that within the next few years, We should see a cleaner, safer Earth.

Earth By: Jessi Coulter

Years go by, so do gases and fumes into the sky. Every time you use a car, the impact of Earths pollution goes more far. Flowers are dying, skies are thinning, why can’t it be like it was in the beginning? Big forests, clear blue skies, absolutely no worries one what animal species were about to die. We should be changing our ways, and letting the Earth heal, by using aluminum bottles and eating fewer meals. We should be working on finding a cure, like using EarthFriendly products and improving our conducts. I hope my few words of truth has lead you to believe that we were put on this Earth to Love and Succeed!

My View By: Jordan Kitt To live on Earth we need clean air, So all of us must do our share. To keep the smog from our sky, Or pollution will cause life to die. To drink our water we need it clean, Dumping toxins is incredibly obscene. Fish need unpoisoned water to survive, So let’s all try to keep them alive. We all produce garbage needing disposal, I want to present a thoughtful proposal. For some is recyclable and you can reuse, But some is quite harmful, so, please reduce!

The Towering Willow By: Selena Harrison The towering willow, proud and free, Stands so tall, blowing through the wind. Its branches so thick, so leafy with green, You’d think it’s almost invincible. As life goes by, it serves its purpose, A home, a provider, a tree. It homes animals and bugs alike, It gives us oxygen to breathe. As time goes by, it starts to wither, It’s bending, snapping, dying. Its branches so dry, so brittle, so heavy, The animals and bugs move away. The tree bends, breaks and dies, It’s leaving so much behind. Our oxygen, its life, its friends… But who is to blame for its demise?

Think About It By: Jackson Johnson

As I look into the forest, The forest that used to be green, Is now just a bunch of logs Why are they cutting the forest down? Wrecking the homes of these animals, How would you feel if these animals wrecked your home? Where would you go? What would you do? Think about it‌

What If. By: Jaedan McCabe

What if we stopped killing? What if everyone cared about the environment? What if everyone did their part to repair the planet?

What if every forest was full? What if 100% of the planet was clean? What if people only take what they need?

What if there was no such thing as global warming? What if‌..we all helped‌. The world would be the way it started.

When you take a step‌ By: Amy Gordon

When you take a step, Do you think of where you’re stepping? On this earth so innocent, Being victimized by our carelessness Take one step into our fire beaten forests, Take another step into the ruined homes of wildlife Is the earth just another stepping stone? Or does it mean something to you? Does it matter every time you take a step? Onto this earth that we punish So next time you take a step onto this Earth, Think about the punishment we give it each day

Ours to Stop By: Shaylene Farnell

Every time I look outside, The trees seem to get duller. Every day the flowers sway, And weaken with every shower. The animals, all once healthy, Lie dying in a polluted rive r. We say we will recycle, We say that we will change. We think it isn’t our fault, But were truly the ones to blame. Global warming is here to stay, It’s ours to fight away.

The Forrest By: Jordyn Kehler

When I walked into the forest Yesterday I saw green trees The birds were singing loudly And buzzing were the bees

Then I come today again And all around is nothing

When I walk into the forest Today I there are no trees The birds aren’t singing loudly And there definitely are no bees

We walk around so normally And yet we cannot cope With what we’ve done to the earth We’ve killed our only hope

It’s Sad When By: Josh Hoppe

It’s sad when putrid gas spews out of cars It’s sad when that gas can kill its own planet It’s sad when billions of gallons of oil make blue waves black tar It’s sad when Fish are killed because of a leak, not for food It’s sad when smog is so thick, it looks like fog It’s sad when a baby’s smile is covered by a gas mask It’s sad when animals could compare a wood cutter to a devil It’s sad when millions of homes are made into one But what is sadder is that these stories aren’t new to us… It’s sad when we do nothing to change our grim future

We Know… By Megan Asham

Grass is green, The wind blows the grass oh so lean, The wind blows leaves off the trees, As the leaves fall, you can hear them shout “WEEE” The playground has excited children, playing and shouting around, But not knowing what is happening to our ground, Or our trees, our sky, our place, We know what is going down, But the looks on our faces, Not even a frown.

Can You Imagine… By Erin Perley Can you imagine… The sight of green all around you, Wild flowers abundant in an open clearing, The great trees that have stood for decades, Can you imagine… The feeling of a cool breeze, The dew from long grass dancing in the wind, The tough bark of trees around you, Can you imagine… The sound of leaves rustling above you, The rushing water of a graceful stream, Wildlife moving around the forest floor, Can you imagine… The smell of pure, clean air, The seasons as they pass through the forest time and time again, The cool, crisp rain as it falls the trees, Can you imagine… A world without this, To lose what we now take granted for, This won’t stay as a memory, it will be our future, Can you imagine…
