How can I make a difference? In what? To prevent Earth of having another ice age. Global Warming is now the talk of the town. Its everybody responsibility to stop this from happening. Everyone must play a part and that is what I am doing now.
There are ten ways in which we can help save the before it is too late.
1. Choose vegetarian or vegan meals
Every Friday, I will try not to eat meat and its good. Its healthier and I feel good after having a vegetarian meal.
2. Recycle more
Every time when I find something that be recycled, I will put it into a box and when recycling man comes I will give it to him. Recycling helps reduce the amount of rubbish and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emission.
3. Use compact fluorescent bulbs
My family changed the bulbs to fluorescent bulbs; it helps saves energy and preventing a hole in your wallet. Now electricity bills are so high, it is wise to change the bulbs.
4. Fill the dishwasher
Use your dishwasher only with a full load or do them by hand with minimal water. It reduce carbon dioxide.
5. Use recycled paper or scrap paper
When doing questions or mathematical sums, I always use a rough paper to do. It saves the trees, which are needed to produce oxygen so scrap papers are not scraps.
6. Replace old appliances and reduce reliance on them
Every now and then, my mother would check on the appliances for damages and tear. When it is time change them, we will get the one with more energy saving product. We also try not to toast bread or use the juicer when we can buy juice.
7. Use a push mower and reduce the law
We just got a push mower that is mush cheaper an electrical one. It saves lots of energy and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
8. Unplug unused electronics
Even when electronic devices are turned off, they use energy. We must try to make the slight effort by switching the main power or unplugging. It really helps and if everyone appliances are off, it could saves more electricity than you can imagine.
9. Grow fast growing plants
Grow fast growing plants helps increase the speed of the production of oxygen.
10. Use public transportation
Use public transportation is a good way, instead of taking the car we take public transportation.
There are so many ways in order reduce carbon dioxide emission and I am sure we can save the world.

Growth camp
My friends and I went up to Malaysia for our annual growth camp. Instead of doing all the high elements and eating the disgusting camp food. We spent our three days and two nights visiting a home, climbing up the mountains and enjoying ourselves..
On the first day, we spent a quarter of the day crossing the causeway. We finally reach the spastic home in Johor. In the spastic home, we learn valuable lessons and new things from them. One lesson is that in life we must not take things for granted and always cherish what we have now. In the Johor spastic home, many young children are spastic, they are not able to walk properly and are very unfortunate. We played with the children and they even teach us things. It was an experience touched many! At night, we played games hat make us trust one another. We had a reflection that closes the day.
On the second day, we had warm up for the highlight of the camp, climbing Gunung Panti, a challenge that really shows someone’s character. We had warm ups and off we travelled to the mountain. The first part to get to foot of the mountain on foot then the climbing started. We climbed and climbed as though that it was never ending. To make things worse it was raining so the floor is slippery making it worse to balance. Everyone stopped looking at almost a ninety-degree slope. We climbed slowly. I crawled. Soon one-by-one we made it. It was a great accomplishment. We continued the trek and light we saw was like something we did not see in a long time. It was almost a breeze coming down the mountain. There were hiccups but we made it through. We not only learn valuable values but also see and hear many new things. This trip really bonds us together.
It was the day of coming home. We missed our nice comfortable bed and the joy we had during this trip. This growth camp really improve our life and it also make me a better person on the whole.
