we affect the enviroment everyday by leaving lights and electronics on without turing them off before we leave the room so we should ture off the lights and electronics when we leave the room.

We effect the enviroment everyday by: leaving the lights,water,and tv on all the time. and not recycling plastic bottles.. We should turn off all the lights,water,and tv when we don't need them on and recycle....

We all affect the environment in many ways. For example: We all drink soda. The soda can is made out of aluminum and The soda bottle is made out of plastic. If not disposed of properly the plastic ends up in a land fill where it will never rot. Also, think of the little things we use like hair spray cans, moose, makeup containers. Hair spray eats at the ozone layer so we need to stop using hair spray -Morgan Byrd :)

I affect the environment in a good/bad way. For example I use lots of energy, I take long showers and I save the environment by planting trees. but mostly I don't really conserve all that well :/.

These are some of the bad effects that I have on the enviroment. I do not always conserve energy. Most of the time I will leave the tv or lights on in a room when I leave. We use to many plastic bottles and then throw them away.I do not get to recycle alot of things because we have no place to take them. At times I stay in the shower too long.But I do have some good habits. I reuse alot of things such as coffee cans. I store other stuff in them. Reuse plastic bags as garbage bags. I recycle alumiun cans.I also save toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls & egg cartons for AES teachers to use for crafts.

We affect the environment every day with normal things we do every day. For example suppose you woke up and saw you had left the lamp on. The energy used for the lamp comes from the electrical company who uses a process that will send pollution into the air causing breathing problems for both humans and animals. To stop pollution like that from going into the air you should probably turn off lights and electronics when leaving the room.

One way we harm the environment is that we drive cars. Cars give exhaust (especially diesel trucks)which pollutes the air. Another way is that we have trash. Eventually trash is dumped into the ground which destroys the dirt and soil.

A positive way that I affect the environment is whenever I go to the store, I use reuseable shopping bags. This affects the environment in a positive way because it helps less plastic bags end up in a landfill. When plastic bags end up in a landfill, it takes them a very long time to break down. Reuseable bags do not end up in the ocean. When plastic bags are in the ocean marine life mistake these floating bags for food.

I think that I affect the enviroment in both a good and bad way. I think that I affect the enviroment in a good way because I turn off all lights that aren't in use. I think that I affect the enviroment in a bad way because I have so many lights in my room I'm suprised I don't have a power bill.
Sincerely,
CalebJohnson
P.S I'm now going to yurnoff all of my lights.

I help and hurt the environment. A few good things I do is recycle, reuse, and conserve alot (as long as I DON'T forget). I hurt the environment by littering, but I dont't mean to because sometimes when I'm in the car paper and plastic and other stuff will fly out. And I pollute the air by getting my parents to take me to my friends house when I could ride my bike over to their house (if it's not too far).

the first way we effect it is that we use more energy than what we should.Secondly we cut down,and waste to many trees {cause we waste so much paper}.And third all the people on earth use to much gas because of the long distances that travel.

To help the environment I recycle cans. Recycle cans that you see on the side of the road. Pick it up. If you see cans in the water, try getting it. That's how you can help the environment.
