The Earth is our Home Written by, Ms. Kerelchuk’s Grade One class.
The Earth is fantastic. The Earth is special. The Earth is great. The Earth is big. The Earth is able to fit all of us in it. The Earth is fun. The Earth is spectacular. The Earth is good for all of us. The Earth is marvelous. The Earth is a good place to live. We love flowers, trees, animals, cool air, green grass, bushes, butterflies, water to drink, water to swim, water to have a warm bath, birds, worms, ants, reptiles, crickets, frogs, grasshoppers, food that grows in the ground, dragonflies, creeks, ponds, oceans, snow, rain, sun, moon, stars, hail, lightening, thunder, wind, clouds! Clean it. Recycle it. Turn water off. Reuse it. Use less of it. Turn the motor off. Don’t waste it. Protect it. Respect it. LOVE IT.

We Need Trees
We need trees
To stop a strong breeze
Keep soil in place
Shade our face
Give us food
Improve our mood
Paper to write
Firewood to light
Medicine for pain
Soaks up rain
Wood for a house
Home for a mouse
Branches for a nest
Places to rest
Makes fresh air clean
Keeps the Earth nice and GREEN!

Trees…
Bear fruit for people and animals to eat,
Create oxygen,
Provide shade on a sunny day,
Are homes for wildlife,
Can be used to make wood and paper products,
Are fun to climb,
Are beautiful to look at,
Are key to our survival on this planet!

We hope you like your stay at the worm hotel.

What’s in the Dirt By Jared, Robin, Danielle, Mia
What’s in the dirt? What’s in the dirt?
Plants? Yes! Trees? Yes! Mushrooms? Yes! But it’s wiggling, squiggling, slippery, slimy worms!
What do they do? What do they do? Do you know? Because we do! We use them for composting. But what do they compost?
Banana peels, apples cores, and many more! Do you know if most worms are girls and boys?
If you thought boys, you are wrong! If you thought girls, you are wrong!
They are part boy and part girl, It is pretty hard to tell!
You could name them Ralph or Sara But why not call them Robin, Stacy, Cailin, Jordan,
Mackenzie, or Tobi!

Wiggling Dirty Worms By Boston, Gabi, Xavier
Worms, Worms, Worms Ben and Seth love worms
Worms are wiggling, squiggling little composters. They have stinky breathe.
They don’t live in pot roasters, Although they are little composters.
They live in the dirt and banana peels are their dessert And I named one squirt.
By Kaitlyn, Brookelyn, Ben, and Seth Wiggly Squiggly Worms
Worms, worms why do people think they are so cool? Do they put on o D.J. hat? Do they swim in a pool?
No. Then why do people think they’re so cool.
Well they’re not so cool But they are helpful for your waste. But how do they help your waste.
They act like tools and they live like trolls. Some live in the dirt.

A banana peel, an apple core, Worm composting is not a bore!
There are lots of worms and lots of dirt, Feed them the fruit you had for dessert!
Worms help gardens grow well too.
How you ask! By their poo!
Worms wiggle and twist and they are pretty cool If you do worm composting you’re not a fool!

Saving energy, that’s a relief.
Hope people will understand, What we can do to save the land!

Oil spill
Right now, oil is gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.
No one ever thought that a disaster as horrible as this could ever happen.
We have no way to fix it.
Beautiful beaches are destroyed.

There is a way to help, though!
Hair absorbs oil!
When you get a haircut, send it out, ship it out!
For a better earth.
We will clean the Gulf.

Breathing Deeply
By Chace Benson
As I stand here, breathing deeply.
I think how little time we have.
The ozone layer has a hole.
The earth is taking its deadly toll.
Buildings fall and mountains rumble.
As I stand here, breathing deeply. . .
In the future what will happen?
Will we lose our co2?
Will the world flip inside out?
As I stand here, breathing deeply. . .
In the past the world was happy.
There was no hole in the ozone layer.
There were no pollutants, there were no cars.
Pitch together, help the earth.
Maybe we can fill that hole.
As I stand here, breathing deeply. . .
Make the earth not hate us so.
As I stand here, breathing deeply. . .
The world will burn, if we don’t change our ways.
If we don’t. . .
As I stand here, not breathing at all.

People destroy this land for the pleasure of themselves.

Then cars came with their exhaust.
You said you’d stop.

Space travel and more.
You ignored your promise.
Then lately you realized what had to be done.
You redeemed yourselves.
You went Green.

Grey
By: Natasha Howe
The roses I want to look at tomorrow,
What the earth will bring is only more grey,
Sun turns out to be grey,

The nice blue crystal ocean turns grey,
There is nothing we can do,
We did not take a chance to help this earth,
And we all will never see the bright orange sun lighting up this earth,
The beautifully shaped flowers,
The crystal blue ocean,
Especially we all will never again see the bright red roses…

The Solution
By Timothy Kim
Trees today, are being cut down. Animals are being hunted down to extinction.
The Earth is poisoned by deadly smog.
There must be a solution to this.
Our one and only home needs your support.
When problems are made, solutions can be found.
Will we be able to find a solution to this?

Think
By: Cassidy Gagnon
Today may be Nice.
There is no Pollution.
There is Colour. No Dust.
But think about tomorrow.
It is Wonderful outside.
But in 10 years it may be,
Grey, Dull, Colourless and Dust,
Because people don’t care,
That the pollution is getting worse.
All we need to do is…
Think.
Recycle a Juice Box,
Walk or Bike to School.
Just Think, Save our Environment,
Maybe in that 10 years, It will be wonderful outside,
With Colour, Grass, instead of Dust,
No Pollution. Just Wonderful Earth.

What Happened?
Leah Corenblum
Upon a hill, I stand there and see,
The big city right there in front of me
When I think about how much work has been done,
I also think about the cause it has made.
Where have the poor animals gone?
Has their hard work changed the earth?
How did the beauty of this valley get destroyed?
As I stand here on this hill, I ask myself;
What happened?

What Have We Become?
By: Connor Broome
Has a ten minute walk turned in to a three minute car ride?
A simple water bottle carelessly discarded on the ground?
What have we become?
Have un eco friendly factories while they are ravaging our atmosphere?
Have cars turned into gas guzzlers due to money and awards?
What can still happen is up to us
What will we become?

What I See Around Me
What I see around me……………
Are rabbits and deer playing happily . I see roses and plants growing beautifully around me. I also see trees blowing in the slight summer breeze.
Imagine that isn’t it nice?
But imagine if that was all taken away by something…… like a human.
Plans would be snapped, We would live in polluted air, Acid rain would come down. We would have no trees for oxygen.
And now all I see around me is disaster……………..

Why we go Green
By: Ally Kobelka
We go green to keep our planet clean,
We need need to keep our planet clean to live.
Think, f we didn’t put our garbage in a garbage bin,
Or if we didn’t walk or bike every once in while instead of driving,
Or if we just planted a tree!
If we didn’t do these kinds of things would we still have been here today?
Do your part in the world because every little thing counts!"

The Environment
By: Connor Gutenberg
Our environment is getting destroyed every day of our lives
So everyone should know not to litter and recycle
Because in the blink of an eye
The earth could be a huge landfill
I would imagine no one would want
The earth to look like that
So all you have to do is
Reduce Reuse Recycle

Our Environment
Every little green thing helps the environment. If we don’t be green now, the Earth will be a garbage ball, but if we all be green now the Earth will be a better place to live on.
Air is the thing that keeps us alive. We are making the air we breathe dirty. By killing trees we are really killing ourselves. If we stop making the air dirty and make it clean, we will make Earth a better place to live on.
Recycling is a great thing to do. Terra-cycling is kind of like recycling but it’s recycling garbage into cool stuff. If we do all of this, the Earth will be a healthy and a green place to live on!

Even though we’re going green

Standing still with no living people,
Or filled with lots of life,

What Would Happen?
By: Courtney Bryant
What would happen… If the birds stopped chirping, The bugs stopped buzzing,
The flowers stopped blooming and, The trees stopped growing, If that was to all go away,
Life would be less beautiful, How would we fell that we ruined the plant?
What would make us smile on our worst days? That is what will soon happen to earth,
If we do not respect and heal it, What would you do to stop it?

The Earth By: Jesse Lawrence
What is the Earth? What is it worth?
Earth is rare with all of its clean air. There is no need to tear it apart, but we should repair our
home, EARTH. All of the animals like the beaver or bear will eventually
run out of space in the forest. That is why the people of Earth should try to reforest, our
land. Our people should take each others hands,
To put our planet together again. From our land to our sea,
We can all agree that within the next few years, We should see a cleaner, safer Earth.

Years go by, so do gases and fumes into the sky.
Every time you use a car, the impact of Earths pollution goes more far.
Flowers are dying, skies are thinning, why can’t it be like it was in the beginning?
Big forests, clear blue skies, absolutely no worries one what animal species were about to die.
We should be changing our ways, and letting the Earth heal, by using aluminum bottles and
eating fewer meals.
We should be working on finding a cure, like using Earth-Friendly products and improving our
conducts.

My View By: Jordan Kitt
To live on Earth we need clean air,
So all of us must do our share. To keep the smog from our sky,
Or pollution will cause life to die.
To drink our water we need it clean, Dumping toxins is incredibly obscene. Fish need unpoisoned water to survive,
So let’s all try to keep them alive.
We all produce garbage needing disposal, I want to present a thoughtful proposal.
For some is recyclable and you can reuse, But some is quite harmful, so, please reduce!

The Towering Willow
By: Selena Harrison
The towering willow, proud and free,
Stands so tall, blowing through the wind.
Its branches so thick, so leafy with green,
You’d think it’s almost invincible.
As life goes by, it serves its purpose,
A home, a provider, a tree.
It homes animals and bugs alike,
It gives us oxygen to breathe.
As time goes by, it starts to wither,
It’s bending, snapping, dying.
Its branches so dry, so brittle, so heavy,
The animals and bugs move away.
The tree bends, breaks and dies,
It’s leaving so much behind.
Our oxygen, its life, its friends…
But who is to blame for its demise?

What would you do?

Or does it mean something to you?
Does it matter every time you take a step?

So next time you take a step onto this Earth,

It’s Sad When

It’s sad when putrid gas spews out of cars
It’s sad when that gas can kill its own planet
It’s sad when billions of gallons of oil make blue waves black tar
It’s sad when Fish are killed because of a leak, not for food
It’s sad when smog is so thick, it looks like fog
It’s sad when a baby’s smile is covered by a gas mask
It’s sad when animals could compare a wood cutter to a devil

The dew from long grass dancing in the wind,
The tough bark of trees around you,
Can you imagine…
The sound of leaves rustling above you,
The rushing water of a graceful stream,
Wildlife moving around the forest floor,
Can you imagine…
The smell of pure, clean air,
The seasons as they pass through the forest time and time again,
The cool, crisp rain as it falls the trees,
Can you imagine…
A world without this,
To lose what we now take granted for,
This won’t stay as a memory, it will be our future,

It houses the fish that we eat
And many more
Wonders of the deep
But factories pollute it
And people dump their garbage in it
And now we’re losing our most precious resource
And there’s only one thing that can save it…….
YOU

Just Think
By: Josh Kukurudz
Just think...
In a couple of years where will be?
I bet we won’t be climbing that old tree.
Probably be cut down like the rest of them,
Too bad it had to be one of the best of them
Those were some animal’s dens,
Should have recycled those papers and pens.
Soon those animals could be extinct.
Maybe you should stop and
Just think…

The Future
By Madison McBurney
What exactly does the future hold?
When our generation is grown up and old
Will the sky still be blue and the forest still alive?
I don’t want to wait for the planet’s death to arrive
Today was yesterday’s future, and yesterday was a future too
To all the days in the past, yesterday was brand new
All these days have passed, and the world’s still in dying
A clean and healthy world isn’t something you can get buying
Our habits need to drastically change if we still want earth around
People must recycle more, and stop putting garbage in the ground
We have to keep earth clean,
If we want the world green

No Such Thing
By: Caroline Stitt
As I stand out in the darkness,
Amidst all the smoke and dust,
I imagine what the world was like,
Before it was black and empty.
Before the smog swallowed up the sun,
Before the stars went out one by one,
Before the earth was suffocated
Under layers of pollution.
Stories say the earth was green.
They say that it was lush.
They say that it was beautiful.
I see no such thing.

My Promise to You
By: Alissa Franklin
My promise to you is to do my part
In leaving you a place, free…..
Free from the remnants of a polluted place
Caused by the selfishness of those who plainly….
Do not care.
My promise to you is to leave this world
Just a little better than the people who simply,
Do not care.
My promise to you is to leave green space to run,
Air filled with the smell of evergreen trees and freshly cut grass,
And not that of forest fires and smog, just because some people,
Do not care.
My promise to you,
Relies heavily on the fact,
That you too will with hold these promises,
And not act like you simply and plainly….
Do not care.
