Today, I'm interviewing nine-year-old Alex about her feelings on how people can help save the environment. So, Alex, how can we save the environment?
By saving water.
Well, how can we do that?
By not using too much water when we wash dishes, take a bath, and when we do other things, like watering the plants outside.
Oh, I think I can do that. What else?
When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you find a trashcan to put it in because littering makes our planet dirty. Do you like seeing trash all over the ground?
No, I don't. Do you have any final suggestions?
Yes. We shouldn't waste paper because trees are being cut down to make the paper. By recycling paper, we save the forests where animals live.
So, how can children recycle paper, I mean, everyday?
Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save the newspapers so that I could make things make out of them, like paper trees, instead of just throwing them away. Now, the children in our neighborhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a recycling center.
