The Harp…….. in Adeeb’s Persuasive

by: Adeeb and Deon

Once upon a time, Deon, monica, Micole, and I were walking in a forest. We were in a forest because Monica’s dad was a famous forest explorer and he had to take pictures of the Penja forest in Mexico. So, Monica asked her father if Micole, Deon, and I could come along with her and her father.

So here we were one day lost in the forest. Suddenly, we heard music. We tried to forget about it and we kept on walking. Then, we heard it again. This time we went to check it out.When we reached where the music was coming from we all gasped! The music was coming a harp on the other side of the lake. We saw the harp but we didn’t see who was playing the harp. Luckily, we all knew how to swim. When we reached the other side of the lake, we were soaking wet. Now the weird thing was the harp was moving but nobody was playing it. “Cool!”, exclaimed Deon. Then, he ran to the harp and struck it. When he struck it Golden smoke came out and the wind started twirling and twirling and nobody could see any more. When everything cleared, We saw a skinny,short girl floating before us. She was wearing clothes that were made out of leaves. Micole said,”Nice clothes!” “At last, after two thousand years of being prisoned , I’m actually free.”, said the girl.” You guys get two wishes for freeing me from the harp.” ” our first wish … ,”said Deon,” Is gonna be that when we tell people about our story they’ll believe us. And our second wish is that we were back home.” The girl said,” Done and done.”

Two years later, a mexican boy found the harp just as we had. ” So, it’s true, it’s actually true.”

The End!!

Tires – Every 2 weeks, Americans wear out nearly 50 million pounds of rubber off their tires. This is enough rubber to manufacture 3 and a quarter million new tires from scratch! To help prevent this, you can inflate your tires well. This preserves the life of the tires and saves gas, which ultimately saves money.                                                                Check your hot water heater — Did you know your hot water heater accounts for about 20% of all the energy used in your home? There are a few simple things you can do to save energy and save money. Turn your water heater down to 130 degrees, which is hot enough to kill deadly bacteria, and still save energy. Also, insulate your heater with a pre-fab ‘blanket,’ but be careful not to block off air vents on gas heaters. This can save you 7-8% of your energy usage. You can also drain 2 quarts (or 2 liters) of water from your hot water heater every 2 months from the valve at the bottom of the tank. This prevents accumulation of sediment and prolongs the life of your water heater.

• Do not dump oil, grease, antifreeze, pesticides, fertilizers, paints, cleaners, and other toxic household products down the storm drain. These drains, found in the gutters on the sidewalk, are not treated by the sewage treatment plant–they go straight into rivers, lakes, and maybe even the ocean! By putting these toxic chemicals down the drain, there is a great biological threat to marine life. It’s actually quite simple. If you don’t want to swim in it, don’t let it get in your storm drain!

Not only should you recycle, but buy products that are recycled. By purchasing these products, you are helping to conserve natural resources, and to protect the environment.

Diapers — Use cloth diapers when you put a diaper on your child. Americans trash over 18 billion disposable diapers a year, this amount can go to the moon and back seven times. Diapers take up 1% of America’s landfills and they take 500 years to decompose. Cotton diapers can be reused 100 times and decompose in 1 to 6 months. These disposable diapers consume 1,265,000 metric tons of wood pulp and 75,000 metric tons of plastic. After using disposable diapers we are supposed to wash them out, only 5% of us do. Meaning that millions of tons of dirty, possibly disease infected diapers wind up in our so called “sanitary” landfills. Infact three million tons of untreated feces and urine does not go through our sewage system but into our landfills. Over 100 different diseases are known to be excreted in human feces, and there is a chance (at least it has not happened yet) that they can seep into our groundwater. You can find cloth diapers if you look in the local Yellow Pages. Remember if you use cloth diapers you will need to use diaper covers so that the moisture can be held in. 100% wool felt seems to work as the best diaper cover.

                                                  Earth day Protest

Before i knew about earth day  i didn’t care. But, now i do care and i have a plan.We should make posters on all the ways  you can save the world be a better place.We should talk to the principle about making a plan every day.We should have a plan at a certain time 2 times a day and we can have the teachers help to.If we do that our school would be an incredible place.We should also go to other places to keep clean

I think wee should clean our school use less energy.If we could just not litter and don’t use energy all day.we should have everyone here to have a field trip to  go clean up the streets.If we can keep it clean we could have a much better place to live and go to school.I hope we can do this.
