A Gas Cycle by Miranda

Why walk somewhere when you can drive? That question is brought up in thousands of house holds around the world. There is one simple statement that goes with that. Cause and Effect. We use a lot of oil. So much oil that we are running out. Oil is not something that we can just grow more of. It is something that is limited. A limiited resource. Since there is not much oil left things that used to be cheap are now more expensive. Gas is more expensive and since gas is more expensive so is milk and soon meat. Why? Because milk has to be driven to grocery store and so does meat. Since companies are losing money because of gas prices they need to charge more money for their products. There is a solution however. Many farmers are now growing corn or switchgrass for biodiesel. Another problem is brought up there though. Since farmers are getting paid more for growing corn and switch grass for biodiesel they are switching to that instead of growing organic food for the public. See? This is a cycle. A simple solution for you? Bike more! Walk more! Use your legs instead of gas and oil.

What about the big bears? by Gabrielle

Everbody is so worried about the panda’s when we should start looking more into the polar bears. Were the ones causing them to be endangered, by the dreaded Global Warming. (DUN DUN DUUUN!) Many people say it’s not real but try explaining that to the polar bears. Everyday the mother goes out for food for her young. She goes miles and when she gets tired there is no resting spot. The mother try’s to go on but she can’t so she and her baby drowns. Global Warming is real and it’s effecting all animals. Lots of orginations are trying to help these animals like the “WWF”. They go to Antartica and try to help all the polar bears with the donations that everybody as giving them. By doing this were just one step away from helping polar bears.
