TIPS FOR A GREENER EARTH FROM 5TH GRADERS

RECYCLING PLASTIC BAGS
Hi, we are the Recycling Group 8 from 5th grade! We would like to let you know that we are taking action. We want to recycle Plastic Bags and we need your help. Please bring any CLEAN plastic bags to the bins in front of the Elementary office! Remember you can bring EVERY type of plastic bags. Thank you for helping us take care of our environment! 
Sincerely, Group 8


HELP REDUCE CAR POLLUTION
We are Fifth Graders and we are working on a project about global warming. There are several causes of global warming but the one we chose is car pollution. The exhaust that the cars produce contains carbon monoxide which gets into the atmosphere and traps the heat. So the temperature is rising all over the world, the ice on the Poles
melt and the sea level rises. Each gallon of gasoline produces about 23 pounds of carbon monoxide. There are several ways you can help to stop car pollution here are some ways:
-go with more people in your car
-walk if you are close to your destination
-ride your bike if you do not live so close
-inflate your tires well
-use public transportation
-use msn or e-mail instead of actually going there
-tell other people what you have learned about car pollution and these tips. Thank You!
