"Future Zoo"

"Future Zoo" by Greenberg shows what our zoos will soon look like if we don't take care of our endangered species. Things like overcrowding, rebuilding, and hunting have left us with fewer wild animals than ever before. We really do need to save our animals!

Food for Thought

There is a animation created by some middle school students from Baltimore that talks about good foods to eat. Before the project they learned to make and try new foods. They also learned the importance of nutrition and a balanced diet. They promote healthy eating in their neighborhood, by making a poster that talks about the importance of a well balanced diet; including the benefits.

The Environment and Issues

It seems like everywhere you go there is garbage on the ground. If people would just use the trash cans then our world wouldn't be such a mess! Often times anaimals get tangled up in our trash. There is even a problem with people dumping garbage in water sources. This is a hazard to fish and other marine life. Animals are a source of food to us, so we need to respect them and save them.

Air pollution is a big deal now too. There are numerous factories that put smog and other harmful substances into the air. Even some cars have really dark exhaust coming out of their tail pipes.

There is a huge amount of people that smoke cigarettes. This is not only harmful to their health, but to those around them.

There is so much that we can do to help make our environment more enjoyable, if people would just try using their brains.
