I really believe we need to do something to help the world. We've only got one world, one planet to live on. If that's gone, we're gone. Our planet is being destroyed as you read this.
By dumping our rubbish and polluting the enviroment, we are killing people and animals. Many people have already died from skin cancer. You want to know why ? Because of global warming ! We're causing global warming and the deaths of many people, animals and plants alike as we dump our rubbish, we don't recycle, we waste food. Hello people ?! We need to do something. We need to act now to save the world.
If you want to find out more about what you can do to save the world, check out this website :
http://www.dosomething.org
It has heaps of information about global warming and all of the things you can do to help the world.
The other website I found is :
http://www.freerice.com
This website helps you with your grammar and for every question you get right, they donate 20 grains of rice to countries where people are dying from starvation. My friends already know about this website and go on to it frequently to help people in poorer countries than ours.
These websites are in 'My Fantabuawesome List of Websites' on the left side of my page if the links in this post don't work. Check them out.
You can do anything to help the world if you just put your mind to it.

Save the Enviroment, Save The World !
More natural disasters happen because of global warming. The earthquakes in China and America, the tsunami in New Orleans, tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, wildfires, typhoons, etc. are made worse by global warming. Global warming is also making these happen more often. Global warming is causing holes in the ozone layer which is causing droughts and making more people die from skin cancer every year.
The Polar ice caps are melting and some land is already flooded from the rising sea levels. If 50 percent of the world's ice melts, streams and rivers will overflow, dry up and cause thousands of people and animals to die from disease and starvation.
All you have to do is recycle your rubbish. It's easy ! Don't dump your litter on the ground. Just wait until you find a bin and put your rubbish in it instead. You don't have to go around with papers in your pocket for hours. There are bins everywhere. You can make a big diference if you do this.
We can use compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) to save energy. These cost less and last longer than ordinary bulbs. If we recycle just ONE aluminium can, it will provide enough energy to power a TV for 3 hours ! We can use recycled products like paper, use washing machines and dishwashers when they are full to use up less water. If we move our thermostats down 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer, we can save up to 2000 lbs of carbon dioxide and 98 bucks a year !
If you want more information about global warming an what you can do to help the enviroment, check out http://www.dosomething.org
We have to help the enviroment so we can live in a cleaner, safer world and to make this world better for future generations. We only have one world. Let's make the most of it.

I'd Love Some Sun
Why does it have to rain all the time in Ireland ? I wish we could get some sun. I'm not even in the West of Ireland where it rains almost constantly because of the rain from the Atlantic Ocean coming over the mountains ! It's been raining constantly for over 2 weeks now ! We're lucky if we get 5 or 10 minutes without rain !
On Friday (no, not Friday the 13th, the Friday before that), we got REALLY heavy rain. The drops were the size of 50 cents !!! Then we got hailstones and even thunder and lightening, although we didn't get thunder and lightening where I was, my friends got it.
You know that global warming caused this. That's why we have to do whatever we can to save the enviroment and build a better future for ourselves.
Some places got heatwaves, we got heavy rain ! I'd love a bit of sun, a bit of heat. I had to get out my long winter coat the other day as it was freezing ! It's June and it feels like winter !!! I can't believe it !
Fly on forever !
