What Would Thoreau Do? Mrs. Goel: After reading about the natural, transcendentalist lifestyle Henry David Thoreau adopted during his time at Walden Pond, the AP Language and Composition students selected environmental research topics of their own. They learned about the positive or negative effects of their topics on the environment and presented that information to each other along with an action plan to make a difference. In celebration of Earth Day (April 22), they are sharing their topics with you and offering small ways in which you can help make our Earth safer and cleaner for generations to come. Lauren Martinez: Foreign oil dependence probably isn’t something teens my age know a lot about. It is a problem that is affecting our air quality, wellbeing of our generation and gas prices that get higher and higher every day. What can you do to stop this problem? Take public transportation more often. This is twice more fuelefficient and saves 45 million barrels of oil. Marcus Hopkins: As a society, we need to take care of both our environment and management of supplies. We would greatly benefit by reducing our use of fossil fuels and investing more into renewable resources. Individually, we can reduce fossil fuel use by doing simple things, like carpooling so we don’t use a lot of gas. As a whole, we can invest more time into making laws that focus on renewable energies, as well as money to help produce them. George Flores: Global warming is a threat to our society and to our planet, Earth. It is a very serious matter and affects us all. There are many things we can do to minimize global warming or permanently solve it. Stop the use of burning fossil fuels and releasing air pollution. Use nonrenewable resources such as solar and wind power. We can also recycle and limit the use of power and running water. Anthony Sanders: As individuals, we can do many things to help the environment, and reduce the amount of waste and energy we use. One simple way is using less water, which can be achieved by turning off the water when you brush your teeth. In addition, garbage should be thrown away, not left lying around on the ground. By doing these simple, little things, we can have a huge positive impact on our environment. Carly Norton: Students at Proviso West can help recycle by collecting paper and disposing materials properly throughout the school and cafeteria. As a school, we should inform people of what’s recyclable and provide the proper containers for these items, rather than just trash bins. Peyton Greenwood: Organic farming is better than conventional farming because it does not include the use of chemical or synthetic fertilizers or hormones in the meat that can affect people’s bodies if eaten. To promote the importance of organic food and farming, we need to provide opportunities to visit real organic farms so people can see how they work, and ask for help from organic food organizations. Abheshaik Parendkar: Renewable resources are the way to a more fresh Earth. Non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels are a fatal jab to the very core of our world. Our energy can last for an eternity if we look to more alternative views of power, like solar panels as well as turning power off when it’s not used, and joining an Earth club to engage in Earth-saving activities. If a million people were to chip in, the result would be colossal and bring peace to the precious sky and soil for lifetimes. Tristan Watkins: Green cities are an extraordinary way to make our community cleaner and greener. So together, we can achieve this goal. We can plant trees, recycle, and help each other out. Darryl Binion: Recycling is good because it helps keep waste out of landfills. Also, it provides jobs for the state. If we start collecting cans and other recyclable items we will see how good it really is. What Would Thoreau Do? Ar’Raval Adams: Water pollution harms the environment greatly. Water pollution causes earth’s fresh water to be undrinkable, leaving us with no water to drink. The causes of water pollution should be illegal because the pollutants in the water make it undrinkable. Also the effects on water pollution can be stopped by building public awareness. Mark Martinez: Nuclear energy provides large quantities of energy. As an energy source, it is one of the cleanest for the environment. To change the amount of energy currently supplied by nuclear energy, we need to bring awareness to society. We also can contact our government officials to inform them of society’s positive view on nuclear energy. Akintola Oyetayo: Air pollution is caused by waste emissions from pollutants from cigarette smoking, vehicles and industries. In order to keep the rates at which the air is polluted, methods such as recycling, planting trees, going for regular smog tests and lastly substituting polluting cigarettes for air vapor cigarettes. Jerome Brown: Renewable resources are not currently providing enough benefits to society to be financially invested in. High school students should maybe try alternate energy experiments in science classes to see if they make it work for a small project. Johari Sherman: Things you can do to reduce air pollution: take public transportation, carpool, walk more, or ride a bike to get to your destination. Alphia Palmer: Air pollution is the presence of harmful substances in the air. It negatively impacts the world because it kills plants, animals, habitats, and it is harmful to people. In order to prevent air pollution, people could use less cooking devices, don’t smoke cigarettes, ride bikes or trains instead of using cars, etc. People should just find “greener” techniques to use. Wendy Ortega: About 30% of the Earth is covered with forests. At the current rate of deforestation, eliminating forest grounds the size of Panama, there won’t be any trees in about 100 years. Deforestation is harming our society by causing environmental issues, disrupting people’s livelihoods, and decreasing animal populations. As a community, we can reduce deforestation by recycling paper and planting trees to replace the lost ones. Through our understanding of this issue, we can unite together for a resolution. Anaisa Vazquez: The average person can reduce water pollution by not flushing chemicals and recycling any products that can be recycled. You can also help by volunteering to clean debris from beaches and lakes. Joel Zesati: Water pollution makes water undrinkable and unusable to the people of the Earth. More than 97% of the water we have is ocean and the remaining less than 3% is gradually being reduced. If you wish to help, you can start by conserving water when it’s not in use by turning off the tap so it limits the amount of water that goes back into the system for treatment. By growing a garden in your backyard you are preventing fertilizers, pesticides and contaminants entering water from the runoff. Natalia Orellana: Vegetarianism is a very complicated topic. Vegetarianism is the belief of limiting or avoiding meat at all cost. Vegetarianism can cause overpopulation in cattle, whose wind and manure emit more than a third of the methane that warms the earth 20x faster than carbon dioxide and 2/3 the emissions of ammonia, causing acid rain and is a major driver of deforestation. To help the Earth, you should eat meat, but not excessively, all at a limit and balanced form, to keep Earth happy and clean. What Would Thoreau Do? Deiajah Matthews: My topic is the dangerous, life threatening air pollution. Air pollution of the atmosphere reduces visibility. The amount of harmful gases, dust, fumes and odor affect our environment and every little thing in it. As Proviso, we can also try to drive less, stop taking unnecessary trips and shop at local markets to buy fresh and raw products. These are simple ways to help reduce air population for not only human health but also animals, our forest, trees, plants and animals. Cindi Gomez: Vegetarianism is a plant-based diet that does not include meat. It is one of the most effective ways to save our planet. Meat consumption is a large cause of global warming. The production of meat requires the use of a large amount of water and land. Also, it creates greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. Many of us don’t want to completely cut out meant from our lives, but we can reduce the amount we consume. Ways to reduce meat consumption are: for schools to provide more vegetarian menu options encourage your family to cut down on the meat consumption, and eat more fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and beans. Jason Nardella: Water pollution has a detrimental effect on society. A simple task anyone can perform to help decrease water pollution is to conserve water. Another task is to watch what gets put down your drains and toilets. Always remember it is good to start small and then you can work your way up to harder tasks when ready. Breanna Lidell: Deforestation is the destruction of forests by either cutting down their trees or completely clearing the forest by burning the forest down. Deforestation is used to extract resources like wood for paper or to clear forests for farming land or urbanization. An easy way to help reduce the need for this destruction is to recycle. Another way is to be mindful of how you use the paper goods you buy so that you won’t be wasteful. Save the trees! Janisa Hicks: Purchasing locally grown foods can deeply affect the environment in a positive manner. When farmers sell directly to you, you reduce the risk of becoming ill because of lower exposure to pesticides. Reducing the distance food travels cuts down on air pollution and fossil fuel consumption, which helps the environment. Buying locally allows you to know where your food comes from. Becoming involved in the local food movement will forever change the environment for the better. Darrylisha Kimbrough: The local food movement is a campaign where we buy fruits and vegetables locally instead of at a grocery store. It’s better for the environment as well as making sure your food is as fresh and as healthy as possible. So, the next time you go grocery shopping and you want to invest in some healthy veggies and fruits, go to a place that sells locally grown produce, such as Wal-Mart, a Supermarket, or a Farmer’s Market. Not only are you helping the farmers and their families, but you are benefiting because you are eating healthy, organic food that was grown straight for the Earth and near you too. Kya Garrett: Many people love a great competition. If people decided to compete for an award or prize to see who could recycle the most, more people would participate. Not only will this get the community more involved in the social category of the environment, but the neighborhood/community would slowly benefit from the recycling that is going on. Even in schools, this idea could be widely spread and very beneficial to the school's overall outlook. Jerluane Jenkins: Creating green cities is important in our world today. In our very own community we can help out the cause by supporting the options we are given. If the community is able to show that we the citizens also care about the sustainability of our city, others will take notice. Using public transportation, planting community gardens or supporting the efforts of our cities can go a long way. Heidi Calderon: Veganism is a healthy lifestyle that helps stop abuse and cruelty toward animals. Converting to veganism means not eating any animal products and instead eating tofu, soy milk, rice milk, fruits, and vegetables. Also, raising awareness through posters and the Internet. Eric Grant: Nuclear energy is good for the environment because it is the cheapest way to generate electricity. Nuclear energy also releases no pollutants therefore prolonging global warming. What legislators can do is make it compulsory for generating electricity. Icesa Moore: Have you ever stopped to think where the dirty water from your shower goes? Well, the waste water better known as sewage water is treated and cleaned then dumped back into our water system. Sewage water is a type of water pollution that has a horrible effect on the environment and society. As a Proviso west student, you can bring awareness to reduce sewage water pollution.
