About Me
I am Leah Bushra, a fellow student, but many of you probably have not heard of me. I am a currently a fifth grader at Lindeneau Elementary School (as you already know). My teacher is Mr. Campione in Room 22. I am a safety patrol at Mrs. Sanchez's class, a band member for now 2 years (instrument: Flute), and I am a student in Gifted and Talented (G&T for short) which brings me to the reason I am doing this. The main reason is because I, for one, LOVE the environment. The environment is getting destroyed each and every day. Above you can find out some "Did You Knows" about plants and below will be a list of things you can do the save the environment.
What You Can Do
There are many things you can do to help the environment. One of them is to reduce, reuse, and recycle. You can also be careful in how you dispose of your chemicals because as the effects on plants are very strong. The environment can be has beautiful as a newborn puppy but as frail as a butterfly. Mother Nature is beautiful if you get to know "her". One day, step outside and inhale deeply. Do you smell the crisp air? Take a moment to appreciate the environment and soon you will love it just like me.
