GOING GREEN FINAL DRAFT

                                                          GOING GREEN

Our world is being polluted, day-by-day and we're not doing anything to stop it. The era of laziness about going green is over. It’s time to help the planet we live on. Even now because of pollution the north pole is melting little-by-little making the animals there go extinct. Even the littlest thing can help save the planet.

People are changing from electric power to solar power. According to YNN.com, buildings around the Syracuse area are placing solar panels on their roof. A nursing home in North County and the Broome County Public Library have put solar panels on their roof; they produce enough power to fuel 3 houses a day. A program called NYPA has planned to put 1,000 megawatts of solar panels on top of schools and other public buildings. This is to help New York State reach it’s goal of getting 45 percent of it’s electricity though clean renewable energy by 2015.

Last year our school won a $7000 green grant to research solar power. Mrs. Molesky's Media class suggests that our school switches to using the Century Gothic Font. It's a font that is used to save ink.  The only cation is because the font is so wide, it uses more paper than regular font.

According to Ms. Sobon, Global teacher at ITC, “We only have one planet and its pollution so far is our own fault.  We need to be open to trying new ways of getting heat and electricity.  I think people can help by doing as much as they can.  Some people have gone to the extent of putting up solar panels or building windmills for their community but sadly these things come with a big cost that many of us just don't have the money for.  Therefore, even if you don't have enough money to do big things such as those you can do little things like not littering and picking up your environment.  Also, little things like don't use the air conditioner all the time or don't buy a dryer, instead hang your clothes up somewhere in the house or outside.  There are a lot of appliances that use too much energy so I think the less we use these them the better!"

Wouldn’t you agree?
