Dear Editor, Im going to save
water. I will take a bath not a
shower and dont pollute the
water.
Dear Editor,
My mom has plastic
bags and I take them
with me when I have
to go to lunch
because I need
something to put my
sandwich, chips,
and snacks in.
When I brush my
teeth sometimes I
leave the water on.
And some times I
turn the water off.
When we read a
book on page 66
Dear Editor, I am going to turn
on the faucet only when I am
using it. That will help save lots of
gallons of water. I am going to
start planting more trees so I can
have more trees to use.

Dear Editor, My family and I are
giving our clothes that we can't fit
in to the purple heart. We are giv-
ing it to people instead-of throw-
ing it away.
—Stefanie McIntosh, age 81/2
Dear Editor, I
save my water
When I brush my
teeth I don’t leave
the water running, I
think people should
stop letting the
water run. People
can save gallons of
water every day.
—Brandon
Lavalley, age 9
Dear Editor, I pick up trash in
my apartment complex when I get
out of my grandma’s car. I’m
going to start to turn off the faucet
after I wet my toothbrush. The rea-
son why I am going to turn the
faucet off is because I want to
save more water. When I go out-
side I’m going to pick up trash
from the ground so our world
won't look trashy.
—Chanel Vigier, age 81/2
Editors note: Students ■ it was a big big swimming pool
with water running down into the
swimming pool. I will save the
water by not running the water
when I'm brushing my teeth and
washing my hands.
— Chansity, age 9
Dear Editor, I started recycling
my paper and I just found out that
you can recycle other papers like:
food, garbage bags and baggies
that we use for lunch. I love to
recycle because it. makes the
world a more better place.
