"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union..." The U.S constitution. Thank you our dead founding fathers! But this is not a blog to tell you about dead people, this is a blog about the environment. So, to form a 'more perfect union,' what must we do? WE have to help STOP global warming. We all know the basics,turn off the lights, recycle, use reusable bags. Here are things you are going to HAVE TO DO if YOU WANT THE PLANET TO LIVE. First off turn off the lights, duh. You don't have to read in the dark, just turn them off every time you leave a room, or the bathroom. CARPOOL! Use less gas by carpooling with a friend, neighbor, stranger or anyone that owns a car. Get some excursive! Don't be lazy and say, 'Mom! Can you drive me to a friends house even though they're like 2 blocks away!' Bike, skateboard, scooter, unicycle, use a tricycle, and if you don't own any of those things, use the old fashion use of your feet. Replace your light-bulbs in your house! Instead of having those 'idea' light-bulbs, use Florissant, or those swirly ones! If every house in California, we/you could, save up to 74 million $ every year, keep over 970 pounds of Co2 out of the environment, and more! Open a window! Duh, thats why they invented them. Don't use a fan, use a window. It helps if it's already broken. Plant a tree, get rid of Co2, have more air to breath, and make the world look green again!
Some more ideas, instead of the paper newspaper, go on-line,use reusable bags, they're a pain, but good for our planet. Ditch the plastic water bottles, use reusable ones, heck, go to your favorite coffee shop with a reusable cup! You might say ew to eco- friendly products, i say cool! Use recycled paper to reduce tree cutting. Heard of smencils? They're recycled news paper!
Learn more at, http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/completelist/0,29569,1602354,00.html. Guys, if you hadn't noticed, none of these things aren't very hard. America is getting lazy and thats why all this bad stuff is happening. SO HERES YOUR WAKE UP CALL! BEEP! BEEP! BEEEEEEEEPP! Get in the game. Take action.

I've already told you how global warming happens, so here's the next question... What happens BECAUSE of global warming. Let me tell you in advance, they are not good things. Has anyone ever tell you that life is a cycle, never ending, like a circle? No? I guess not. So I'll be the first, everything in the environment is connected somehow. Let me double check... carry the one... add three... some trees... Yep! Everything is connected.
Remember the green house effect? Well, with all the temperatures rising, so is the water. As you may have guessed, the water floods some of our lower land-masses. The plants on the land-masses died out. As another piece to the falling line of dominos, the animals run out of food to eat, so they die, then (it hasn't happened but it will, soon)us, humans, run out of plants and animals to live off of. What are we going to do then? Die. Or drown, same thing. Do you see how it's connected? Without all the things we take for granite, we would be no more.
Not only does global warming cause flooding problems, but it also causes climate change. The green house effect is making the Earth hot. Think about it, the polar ice caps might turn into HUGE swimming pools, this is NOT a good thing btw. You may eve say, 'ha! Hot weather? I can go to the beach and get a really nice tan!' Yes, you could do that, but the continuous cycle that i explained about the floods, it's the same thing here. (In science, you will see repeating patterns, get used to it) Adapting to warmer weather is hard. The arctic animals will have to adapt to warmer climates compared to what they're used to, not only the arctic, but a lot of other animals too! Some of our food doesn't exactly grow very well in hot weather, forests and lakes will dry up and shrivel. How does this connect to you, me, or the president? Like I told you, EVERYTHING CONNECTS! This is complicated, you may not get it, but after some hard thinking, I know you'll get it. Remember what I told you. Please.
If you're reading this, please send it on to some friend, cousin, random person you find on the street, the people have the right to know!
