If you love Earth, help save it with clean energy

We need to switch to clean energy. To me this means using less oil. We could do this by driving less so we use less gasoline, using more electric cars and using more public transportation.

I also think we should get more of our electricity from wind turbines and waterwheels. We need to do all of this, and we need to do it now.

This is urgent because if we keep polluting at the rate we have been, we might need to move to Mars in my lifetime. This is important to me because I love Earth and I love living on it. To save the world we need to work together for change.

Everyone in the world needs to know that by using as much oil as we do we are making it harder for everything to live unless someone stops it. That someone has to be us. Not just you and me but everyone in the world.

But it can start with one person. Then two. The four. Then a thousand.

I need your help. And of everyone in the world.

It’s far past time that we should have stopped using single-use plastic, too. It should have never existed, but we can’t just stop polluting; it’s too late for that. We need to under our pollution.

Please do everything you can to help us switch to clean energy.
