A lot of people think that our planet is too polluted to be saved. What do you think, do we still have a chance to help the environment?

    I think it can still be saved because if everybody that cares about living helps out we can still save the Earth and ourselves.

    We do still have a chance to save the planet. We just have to not pollute the air as much as we are doing now.

    4/15/2009 10:25:36 AM
  • angel torres

    yes we do have a chance if people whold just pick up a peace of trash or if thay take down those big factorys that polute

    Yes, no matter how polluted the planet is you can still save it! It is the little things that make a difference in our planet. By recycling and not using as much of our resources we can make a difference. The planet needs a chance to heal and become the great planet it once was. We must work as a team to save our planet.

    I believe we still have a chance to save our environment. It might take a while but I bet there is still a chance. All we have to do is come together and try. We could find ways to help make the environment healthier. We could stop riding cars to places where we could walk or ride bikes. All we need to do is get out there and help. Anything is possible if you just believe!

    I think that the EARTH is not too polluted to be saved. It will heal itself, but it will take a very long time. If we do keep acting the way we do, this planet will shrivel up and DIE. If we improve our methods,this planet, along with other living things, will, indeed, heal itself.

  • David Isenhour

    I do not think our planet is too polluted to be saved. I still think the Earth will heal itself naturally and we will not have to worry about pollution. We still could keep on picking up trash in the environment but I do not believe it is too late.

  • Paul Allid

    I don't think we have a chance because we have already messed up the planet so much that it will take ages to fix our problems

    4/15/2009 10:27:36 AM
  • Kanza Khan

    I don't think we have a chance because no matter how hard we try we can't get the whole world to stop polluting.

    4/15/2009 10:27:57 AM
  • katie miller

    i think the earth can be saved if we all help to emprove the air and water qualty.if evryone buys reusable products, we will put less plastics in landfills!

    4/15/2009 10:28:11 AM
  • karina rosas

    The environment can saved because is good for all the people,plant and animal live in the Earth I think all the people need caution the Earth .

    4/15/2009 10:28:13 AM
  • Izzy Barnes

    Yes, because we still have a chace to change things around by: recycling, not using a lot of water, and not wasting anything.

    4/15/2009 10:28:17 AM
  • nathan`

    yes, we can clean the parks and lakes and envioromental places to unpollet the world

    4/15/2009 11:13:35 AM
  • Julian Hector

    The enviroment can't be saved because most of the people here on Earth do not care about pollution and do not think that if the world is dead so are we.

    4/15/2009 11:15:54 AM
  • Mariah Demauchet

    If we all work together,we can change the world,and make it a better place.

  • aisha hellman-lohr

    I do think that our planet can be saved, but we need a lot of help. Everyone on this planet has to pitch in because without everyones help we might be overcome with pollution. We all have to think about our planet before ourselves. We just have to think about what we could do for the planet and think of new ways to help deplete pollution, and ways to stop polluting in the first place.

    4/15/2009 11:16:42 AM
  • George Zeron

    I think that we can still sane the world from being to polluted by not drineing as much because it causeses global warming and also dumping trash into the water would also help or envirpment alot.

    4/15/2009 11:17:26 AM
  • DJ Martinez

    I think it can be saved. Because every time we come to the point of complete failure or disaster we change. We can all change, but we will all continue destroying our planet until its at that point of the spear that we change.

    4/15/2009 11:17:29 AM
  • meagan Daugherty

    I think we will always have a chance to save our planet! Plus scientists have already discoverd that the Earth heats and cools it's self on its own! I still belive we are part of the reason and that is why i recycle. My family has always recycled but now our nieghborhood is in on it too!

    4/15/2009 11:17:55 AM
  • Brendan McGuigan

    I think global warming is a myth. I think we can save the enviroment easily.

    4/15/2009 11:18:14 AM
  • Beatriz Sison

    Yes, the environment can be saved because people don't want to live in dirty place.So if people help to improve our planet Earth, Earth will be saved.

    4/15/2009 11:18:22 AM
  • Skyler Hill

    I dont think that our planet is to late to be saved. Were not polluted that much, at least in the U.S. But if we find other efficent ways better than burning fossil fuels we will be okay.

    4/15/2009 11:19:24 AM
  • Yun Henry

    I think the world can be saved if we try hard enough. And I think all the little things help like recycleling and picking up the trash.

    4/15/2009 11:19:53 AM
  • Andru

    i think that it can be saved. The tempiture is alwas changeing and texas is extremly cold rather that hot.

    4/15/2009 11:20:12 AM
  • Victoria Williams

    I don't think we can save our planet. No matter what we do, not everyone will help, not everyone will recycle and not everyone will stop driving cars or polluting our EARTH. I think it will take EVERYONE to save our planet. It will also take to long and people will get lazy and tired of recycling and working on finding new ways. Soon it will seem as a waste of time. We made our world like this,so now we must pay the price.

    4/15/2009 11:25:00 AM
  • Bobby Scott

    I think that the cars are not the problem because befor cars were invented the sun melted all the ice in the ice age so i think it is still the sun now.

    4/15/2009 11:35:53 AM
  • Bailey Hallmark

    It doesn't matter how polluted our planet has become it is never too late to help out. You don't even have to do anything big just turn off the lights when you leave a room or pick up some trash in your neiborhood. Remember every little thing counts.

    4/15/2009 11:36:09 AM
  • will moritz

    i dont think the planet is as polluted as everybody says it is. sun sun always changes temputures i dont think we have global warming because right now it is in the 80's and its the middle of april. how di you think the ice age started and ended

    4/15/2009 11:36:16 AM
  • Karsten Lott

    I think we can make it unpolluted by using cars less. Also if we can't change it we can atleast make it to were we stop it were it is.

    4/15/2009 11:36:25 AM
  • Kayri Rios

    I think that we do still have a chance to save the enviroment. If we keep the school clean then they might think that we want to do something good for the enviroment and they will start to help as well.

    4/15/2009 11:53:22 AM
  • Azaria Cardinali

    I do not think that it is to late to prevent future pollution and i think that we definitly have a chance to save our planet.

    4/15/2009 11:58:25 AM
  • Caitlin Childe-Archuleta

    I don't think so. I mean, we're creating healthier technologies for our planet every day. although we're still making cars and thus requiring factories, almost all of the cars that we're cranking out have a Hybrid option. Also, maybe if we put a limit on a few things we could still save the planet.

    4/15/2009 1:30:41 PM
  • jack anton

    I think that if we all try hard to go green we can help save the environment.

    4/15/2009 1:30:46 PM
  • isaac p

    I think that it could be saved, but it will be hard and take a long time because we have already messed up so much.

    4/15/2009 1:31:54 PM
  • Kyle Guerrero

    I don't think that it is too far to be saved, but if we start now we have a lot of work to do. I don't think there could ever be a time that the world is too polluted yet we could still inhabit it. We can still try to help repair the enviroment, but if everyone chose to quit now and say it was too far gone I'm sure we would never be able to save it then.

    4/15/2009 1:31:57 PM
  • Amrita Yellepeddy

    I think the environment can still be saved if we put in a good effort to save it. We can't just give up. If everyone does their part I'm sure that we can make a difference.

    4/15/2009 1:32:14 PM
  • Varun Srinivasan

    We can keep the planet the same, but it will be thousands of years before the world reverts to a less polluted environment. If now is fine than we can save the world.

    4/15/2009 1:32:42 PM
  • Chase Terry

    We still can help the environment by recycling and try not to use too much energy. Even though the evironment is polluted, we can still save it.

    4/15/2009 1:32:51 PM
  • maria allen

    i think that it is never too late so help. There is always something you can do even if it seems small. Everything and any thing helps

    4/15/2009 1:33:04 PM
  • Derek Ju

    Not to be mean or anything, but I don't think there is anything we can do to stop what nature's path. No matter what we do, we can't save the earth.

    4/15/2009 1:33:05 PM
  • Jasmine Lin

    I do think that the planet can still be saved. Although it seems polluted beyond repair, I think that if everybody does their part to help protect the environment, we can save it eventually - or improve it at least: recylce more, pollute less, reuse reuseable things such as plastic water bottles, plastic bags, etc. Eventually, with a lot of work, we'll be able to help improve the earth for future generations.

    4/15/2009 1:33:48 PM
  • Justin K. :)

    Even if the world is polluted, we can still save the environment. If we combine our 'green' ways, such as using alternative energy sources, it is still very possible to have the environment back to the way it used to be. Hopefully we can save earth! :]

    4/15/2009 1:33:52 PM
  • Griffin Taylor

    I think that the Earth is not in total disrepair. If we started now we could still save our planet. We need to cut down on our resources over the years and not just stop all at once. If we gradually decrease than it will be easier to stop.

    4/15/2009 1:34:13 PM
  • Chenyang Wang

    I think that anything is repairable. Nothing is unless.

    4/15/2009 1:34:21 PM
  • Darla Wilson

    Yes, I do think that there is still a chance to save the Earth. I do not think that the planet is too polluted to save, for all we need to do is slowly convert fuels for automobiles, factories, etc.

    4/15/2009 1:34:25 PM
  • Aditya A

    I think we still have a chance to protect our environment because with new technology we can make an attempt to save our environment if we use the three R's.

    4/15/2009 1:34:33 PM
  • Katie Davis

    I think our environment can still be saved. I don't think it will ever be as clean as it once might have been, but I think we can still help. We can help by walking instead of driving whenever possible and recycling.

    4/15/2009 1:35:25 PM
  • Allen Zhang

    I think we still can save the Earth, but we must work fast. In a National Geographic article I read, we have to reduce our CO2 emmissions to 30 gallons; right now the average American spends about 150-250 gallons. If we could find a way to take CO2 out from earth, that would be helpful.

    4/15/2009 1:35:31 PM
  • Chris Kaulfus

    I think that the enviorment can still be saved, but it would probably take at least half the large citys in the world to become super ecofriendly. The goverment would also need to take action and close down all major logging companys and have them replant all the trees they cut down.

    4/15/2009 1:35:46 PM
  • Ellen Brown

    Even though our Earth is very polluted and mistreated, I think we can still save it. Of course, drastic, immediate, and major changes would need to be made, but if everyone changed their ways for the better, our world would get better. We're not beyond the point of no return yet, but the Earth will probably never return to it's original state.
    Even though we could save the Earth, I don't really see that happening. Our world is very tonous and materialistic, and we don't appreciate change. It's our own loss.

    4/15/2009 1:36:02 PM
  • Ethan Chen

    Nope, I think is too late. The human population is not going to stop growing. We are going to use more and more resources and begin to use too much for the Earth to sustain us. Already trees are running out so unless the human population starts decreasing, Earth is doomed.

    4/15/2009 1:36:15 PM
  • Aarti Bhat

    Yes, I think if we take drastic measures soon to protect the environment, we can save it. We have a chance, but people have to be willing to recognize the problem and take a stand against pollution and the destruction of forests. We can still save the environment, but we must take action soon, before it is too late.

    4/15/2009 1:36:16 PM
  • Ethan Chen

    I'm not pessimistic,I'm just being realistic.

    4/15/2009 1:36:40 PM
  • Rohan Makhija

    I think the planet still can be changed although oh how polluted it is. If everyone just does simple things in their life like riding bycicles more than cars, or instead use public transport. Although if people dont do these extra things in their lives, the planet will continue to be polluted forever.

    4/15/2009 1:37:15 PM
  • kyle

    i think that it is not to late to save earth....if people would just be more environment friendly and pick up trash and stuff then the world would get a lot better.

    4/15/2009 1:37:15 PM
  • Alex Manasso

    The Earth is very polluted in some areas, such as in Beijing, New York City, and London. I think that these places can reduce pollution, but its pollution can not be completely cleared out of the area. In these countries they are already trying to help stop polluting. An example is in Beijing, where people aren't allowed to drive their cars everyday. The cars with odd numbered liscense plates alternate days on the road with the even numbered liscense plates.

    4/15/2009 1:37:20 PM
  • Namgyu Lee

    The planet has done nothing wrong but we have chosen its fate. We have chosen to pollute the earth even though we know what the effect is. We cant save the planet unless we help ourselves first.

    4/15/2009 1:37:41 PM
  • Tanmay Dubey

    Possibly. If we start producing more eco-friendly cars instead of gas-guzzlers, take down large factories with huge smokestacks, and use CFCs, there will be some, if not substantial change. On a larger scale, however, the EPA will have to probably place stricter emissions requirements on cars. The US and other countries will have to accept the standards of the Kyoto Protocol.

    4/15/2009 1:38:48 PM
  • Austin Pareker

    The human race has acted as a virus for the past 10,000 years, destroying the planet, to the point where we have made the damage irreversible, causing problems like global warming, overfishing/poaching, dumping waste, etc. It is probably best we move to another planet, so that we can let earth run its course.

    4/15/2009 1:44:15 PM
  • Kavina Patel

    I don't think that our planet is too polluted to be saved. We can do many small activites that can change the Earth. Some activites that can effect the Earth are building less factories, driving around less cars, etc. These actions should be used more in big cities such as Mexico City, where the air has been highly polluted.

    4/15/2009 2:10:17 PM
  • Freddy Romero

    I think maybe we still have a chance, if we start now by working to be green.

    4/15/2009 2:25:02 PM
  • andy acevedo

    I think we can save our planet if we try hard enough

    4/15/2009 2:26:15 PM
  • Kyle Bandy

    I think that if everyone really tried and had better cars with good gas miealage, there is still a chance to make our planet better.

    4/15/2009 2:27:20 PM
  • Maygan Lynette Lanford

    I believe that if we do our best and keep our world, our homes, our neiborhood, as clean as possible then we might just have a shot at saving our planet from destrection. If everybody takes action, even just turning the water off when you brush your teeth we can make this world last a tad longer than is estimated right now. So join the fight to save our world and make it last longer before it is too late.

    4/15/2009 2:27:24 PM
  • Nam Nguyen

    I think That if we dont ride cars that much, ride bikes, stop pollution, and reduse ruse recycle than i think that this could acually help prevent global warming and pollution on our enviorement

    4/15/2009 2:27:54 PM
  • tierrabrown

    yes i do think that we still have a chance becuase as long as we keep on trying to clean up our earth it will get better and better so to answer the question yes i do think that we do still have a chance AT CLENING UP THE EARTH

    4/15/2009 2:28:23 PM
  • stevo park

    yes we can can still save the world as long as we don't cut down trees,have alot of industries,and pollute the water....That is my comment.............................(^_^)teehee

    4/15/2009 2:28:40 PM
  • chance

    I say we still have a chance because i think in the future there will have non gasoline and oil cars

    4/15/2009 2:28:40 PM
  • uriel

    i think we still have a chance all we need to do is use less energy and stop polluting the earth

    4/15/2009 2:29:28 PM
  • Devyn Koretz

    I think that if we all try hard we can save Earth, but the're are people that will not listen and make the planet worse than what it is right now. so I don't know.

    4/15/2009 2:29:38 PM
  • Oliver Puryear

    Yes we do have a chance, but i don't think our enivroment is polluted as much as we say it is. We just need to do our part in the enviroment to save it.

    4/15/2009 2:29:44 PM
  • Adriana Esparza

    I think it everyone helps a little bit then it will make a big difference. Also that we should never give up trying to save our world.

    4/15/2009 2:29:51 PM
  • Marina Aoki

    I think that we can still help the recycling, green, or other animals for environment.

    4/15/2009 2:30:05 PM
  • Zachary Spofford

    yes, i think we could save the the planet if we just stopped using cars as much and not having a lot co2 product.

    4/15/2009 2:30:07 PM
  • Brandon Johnson

    I think it all depends on our choices. we need to make some serious decisions that will change our future, and the future of the earth.

    4/15/2009 2:30:41 PM
  • Mitchell Mullins

    Sure why cant we save our planet but it will take alot of work though

    4/15/2009 2:31:10 PM
  • Mailen Sanchez

    Of course, if we try hard enough to save it

    4/15/2009 2:31:28 PM
  • Cindy

    Yes I do think we have a chance if we start exactly rigth now : stop using our cars all the time and trowing away trash in places that we are not allowe

    4/15/2009 2:31:33 PM
  • Sarah Afflerbaugh

    I think that the planet can be saved. Even though everyone helps pollute there are enough people that can balance it out, so even though one person is polluting there will be one other person saving. So it will always be balanced.

    4/15/2009 2:31:39 PM
  • Margot Schumacher

    I think that we definitely have a chance to save our environment. Although we can not erase the bad things that we have done to our environment, if we stop now, we can save it. It will be a hard task to band everyone together for one cause, but it is something that needs to be done. We are the ones that have trashed the Earth and our environment, so it is our responsibility to fix this problem and save the Earth. We have this one home, that is a source of life and, so far, we have done a pretty good job of ruining it. If we start right now, we can save our environment for sure!

    4/15/2009 2:32:30 PM
  • Taylor Murphy

    I think that if EVERYone on earth tries to help recycle or do something to help save our planet. If we stop throwing our trash out windows and leaving trash in our enviroment, the trash won't endanger the animals on our planet and will make the enviroment look better. If everyone does there small part for the enviroment we might have a chance of saving our planet.

    4/15/2009 2:32:36 PM
  • Terra Phillips

    I think that it's to late to save the enviroment because many people are not going to help

    4/15/2009 3:20:40 PM
  • Tyler Jacks

    I don't think our planet is too poluted to be saved. If we all help out we can still be a big part in saving our planet.

    4/15/2009 3:21:02 PM
  • henry martinez

    i think that it is not of how populated we are is how much of the resorses are we not using and westin from the tree's and all

    4/15/2009 3:21:29 PM
  • Tyler Randall

    Yes if everybody stops chopping trees for example. If we recycle maybe or stop polluting

    4/15/2009 3:21:30 PM
  • Heather Keating

    I do think that we have a chance to save our planet. We could start by using less cars and start using more bicycles(or other modes of transportation that do not run on gasoline). Or, if you have to use a car, then run on bio-fuel. If people started doing these things and thinking about what this is doing for the environment, they may realize what a good thing they are doing for this planet. GO GREEN!

    4/15/2009 3:21:58 PM
  • Katie Freeman

    Even thought the environment is pretty polluted, it can still be saved. Maybe soon if people do not start contributing to help clean the environment, it will get worse, and won't not be able to be savaged...

    4/15/2009 3:22:13 PM
  • Otto Wang

    I believe that it can be saved after possibly after another century, because we can't change the planet today. We could try, but there are nonbelievers and they wont think that it is possible so they wont try.

    4/15/2009 3:22:14 PM
  • Brandon Leos

    I think that we can still save our environment/planet. Yes we can still save this planet of ours,because of all the new technology we may be able to clean this air that we breath.

    4/15/2009 3:22:38 PM
  • Yunji Kim

    Even though our planet is polluted a lot, I think we should still try to save our planet, because our planet will become more polluted, if we don't even try anything.

    4/15/2009 3:22:41 PM
  • Clark Oney

    Yes the planet is polluted. And maybe the ice caps are melting. But that doesn't mean that the world is going to blow up! i definantly think that the planet can be saved! (O_O)

    4/15/2009 3:24:15 PM
  • Amanda Brooks

    I think that if all the people on the planet try extremly hard to dedicate themselves to picking up trash, recycling, and try to reuse items. Our planet could be clean again.

    4/15/2009 3:24:32 PM
  • Jonathan Carter

    I think it is better for people to clean up around there commuity so that people can walk in cleaness not dirtyness

    4/15/2009 3:25:01 PM
  • Autumn Garza

    Absolutly! We could start now if we got enough people.

    4/15/2009 3:26:06 PM
  • Elizabeth Parrish

    Well, I think that we may have a chance, but we've already destroyed part of the ozone layer and i HIGHLY doubt that we can repair that. Also, we'll never know for sure if the planet is going to be saved or not. It all depends on fate and a little good luck. It's also possible that it is too late to S.O.E (save our earth). Sometimes we try as hard as we can but in the end it won't even matter.
    So...LET'S DO OUR BEST!!!

    4/15/2009 3:27:42 PM
  • Shelby Hill

    I do think that the earth is very polluted, but we can still help and try to save it. We can recycle everything that should be recycled instead of throwing it away. We can car-pool or ride bikes, or even walk. We should turn off lights and computers when we aren't using them. All we have to do is try even if its the smallest thing to save the earth, it's still saving the enviornment.

    4/15/2009 3:28:48 PM
  • Yessica Aguilar

    Everybody can help to make Earth a better planet, by not throuwing trash ont he streets, ur backyards, and other public places that will damage our enviroment. SAVE OUR PLANET!!!!!
