Alessia Broccoli 10/19/2020 9:48 AMThe only good thing about staying home during school is wasting a lot less energy and gas on car and creating a world for everyone. The only time I would use a car is when I need to go to work and most of the time, I would drive with my friend. So we both were saving gas and energy. -
Alessia Broccoli 10/19/2020 9:44 AMIve been closely observing the way I have been accordingly thrown out garbage, plastic etc. Ive always told my family to pay close attention to that and properly throw away plastic and garbage where they are suppose to go.

Alessia Broccoli 10/06/2020 5:05 PMMy family wastes a lot of water on a daily basis, so I would like to reduce the waste of water in my household. I will shut the water when brushing my teeth and washing the dishes as well as taking shorter showers. All this to reduce the amount of water waste my family consumes and to become more aware of the effect it has on the environmental.
