That your mind is considering such a subject at your young age is wonderful. While this essay is in its way a task for you, something that requires work and thought, it is also a stepping stone for you into the larger world that you and your generation will soon inherit.

Among the activities that will help you become "Green", there is recycling, choosing foods and other products that do not negatively impact our beautiful planet, and eschewing the use of automobiles for walking and/or public transit. Try to minimize the amount of rubbish you leave. See that all paper, glass, plastic, etc, are reused rather than dumped in landfills.

Hopefully, the community of which you are an important member is well-served by affordable and convenient public transit. If not, you can make it one of your goals to attend city planning and transportation hearings. See that those in charge grant as much (and hopefully much more) funding for public transit, sidewalks, chicanes, and other traffic calming and pedestrian safety measures as they do for more traffic lanes and parking lots. You may be interested in the good work being done by Transportation Alternatives. Though based in New York and geared more toward NYC traffic calming issues, their wonderful, forward-thinking ideas are applicable worldwide. You can find them on the net.

Learn about the transport, handling, and disposal of toxic and

esthetically negative materials in your community. How are these issues addressed and how can you help improve things?

Remember, old fogies like me will someday disappear into the aether, leaving you a planet with challenging issues to be addressed. I will do my very best to leave it, if only marginally, a healthier and more beautiful place than it is now. I wish you the best with your project!

Hey, start eliminating waste. You know when you go to a fast food place and get your food wrapped up, then in a bag or on a tray with that piece of paper on it, don't get the paper or the bag. Also, you can start using reusable bags at a grocery store instead of plastic ones; same with water or soda bottles... Not only that but how about instead of purchasing water in a small bottle which contributes to tons of production waste, purchase one reusable bottle or canteen and cut that kind of waste. Also, don't use so many household cleaners; they hurt the environment along with pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Those are horrible for the earth in many ways. This is my most passionate topic, anything else I can help you with just ask.

If you mean green literally then cover yourself in chlorine and don't shower...just kidding!

I think "green" is referring to the enviorment and there are plenty of ways to do that. To incorporate that into your your essay this is how I would do it in a six paragraph essay...

1st p. open up with a thesis statement that you will support with details. ex. The world today is being overwhelmed by the population of poluting people that can be convienced to care of the earth and try to improve it by "going green."

2nd p. explain how the earth is a poluted area and how humans have made it that way.

3rd p. describe ways to become "green"

ex.

picking up trash on the side of the roads or at public places.-stop litering

do carpool to decrease the amount of car fumes going into the air.

recycle to prevent using so many natural resources and poluting the earth with them.

don't use as much water-brushing teeth, baths instead of showers, washing pets, watering grass, full loads of laundry

plant flowers and trees all around the town or city to make it a beautiful place

other things to help the enviorment

4th p. tell who can help and how it can be fun

ex. you, friends, family, neighbors, church members, other groups

5th p. tell how it would effect us and the enviorment

make life better/cleaner

6th p. conclusion-how it helps to "go green"

I hope this is what you wanted and I hope that I helped! Good luck on your essay!!!

Green in the new buzz-word for someone who is environmentally conscious. I'm not sure why there has to be new buzz words for everything all the time... Anyway, some topics of green discussion would be:

Recycling

Energy Conservation, new energy research and development

Vegetarianism, animal rights

Alternative transportation

Hope that helps

Suggest that each household buy an energy saver light bulb once a month--they can be pretty costly-- especially if you have a million light fixtures like we do. So, we made a plan that we would replace one bulb (but we sometimes do more than one) every month with an energy saver bulb.

This seemingly simple plan will save TONS of energy and money in the long run.

Draw out a "tree" plan showing how each person suggesting to their family members that they do the same can have a wide reaching impact on energy consumption.

umm .. i think green issues mean the environment. like with all the waste and global warming, the assignment is probably about how we can help fix these issues and stop global warming. and i dont think theres an actual way to become green, unless you have the universal remote ( watch "Click" starring adam sandler if you dont get it. lol ) and so i think the essay is about waste and, global warming, and saving the environment. hope this helped! good luck on your essay! ~!

hello 8th grader

:)

if you are trying to become greeen, i think you are probably talking about becoming more environmentally friendly

i don't know if i have an answer about how to become more green overnight...but i can certainly help you with the process

i think it's something you work at a little bit everyday. and if you start doing the little things then add onto that, you will probably keep doing it.

easy things to start doing would be:

* recycle

* re-use bags, don't take a bag\

* buy envrionmentally friendly cleaners for your house

* try not to buy things with lots of packaging

i think it takes time to become green

but it's totally worth it!

I turn green when ever I hear Al Gore or most Hollywood celebrities spout off about global warming. Then I usually vomit and I'm fine again.
