 Why  We Need to Protect Our Environment
         Why  We Need to Protect Our Environment
        
        
        
        
        Do you  like to go outside and ride your bike and play with your friends? Do you know  that you are playing on the planet Earth and everything you touch and ride your  bike on is the environment? The environment is the ground, the sky, the leaves,  the weather, then sun, and everything else you do outside. When you feel the  air hit your face, that is also the environment. Sometimes, you may notice  trees get cut down or flowers will be stepped on or smooshed. These are things  that hurt the environment, and it is important that we do our best to not let  that happen.
        
        
         Trees and Flowers
        
        
        For  example, have you ever noticed that bees like sitting on flowers? If you step  on the flowers, where will the bees go? And if the bees do not go on flowers,  how will you get honey? This is just one reason why we need to be sure we are  protecting the environment and keeping things like flowers and trees safe so  everyone is happy and can enjoy the environment and have fun too.
        
        
         Fish and the Water
        
        
        If you  live in a place where there is a lot of water, like a beach, do you know that  there are fish in there? Sometimes, people will throw trash in the water and it  can make the fish very sick or cause them to not be able to swim as good. That  is like if someone put trash from your house into your bath. You would not be  clean anymore, right? This is the same for the fish. Everyone has to do their  part in protecting the environment so people and animals are safe from harm. As  long as you are clean, you pick up trash, and do your part, the environment  will be protected and the animals will think you are a hero for you.
        
        
         Be A Superhero
        
        
        There  are all sorts of things you can do in order to keep the environment protected!  When you ride your bike with your friends to the park instead of your parents  driving you, you are helping the air and wind all around you. Cars can do bad  things to the wind, but if you ride your bike you are helping the environment  every time. Ask your parents what are some other things you can do to help the  environment and you too will be a superhero in making the world a better place.
