Critical Analysis

           Earth day just passed and not many people were aware. Earth day is supposed to be the day where we celebrate our home planet, and contribute to making it a better place to live. Anne Helmenstine wrote a small article that explained what anyone can do to help the Earth. Although Anne writes a short article, it itself has great ways of helping Earth.

          Anne lists these ways of helping the Earth. She notes that none of them are too great for anyone to accomplish. Some examples of showing your own awareness of environmental issues are: picking up litter and tossing it in the nearest garbage can, turning off the water when brushing your teeth, switching to online payments or bills instead of using paper, use public transportation, changing your regular lights to energy saving lights, turn down your water heater, and recycling your plastics, metals, and paper. These are really easy things that don’t greatly affect your own life, but do affect the Earth. If you were to accomplish perhaps one or two of the things on the list, there is a chance that others will notice your impact on the Earth. If more people notice the ways of helping the Earth, more people may contribute to help the Earth.

          I truthfully have done most of these ways that will slowly impact the world. On Earth day, I changed the lights in my room, and I recycled my paper metals and plastics.
