What grade(A,B, C,D,F), in your opinion, does this essay deserve?
Dear President Obama, We all enjoy a life of luxuries. Even those who can’t afford luxuries have them. However, these “luxuries†come at a heavy price. Cars, gadgets, the internet and electricity have become a part of our daily lives. Humans, who don’t enjoy hard work (no matter what people claim)enjoy the convenience these tool provide us. However, while we are carrying out our functions, getting upset over trivial matters, plotting, scheming, and being human, we forget on whom we are walking on. While we try to destroy others of our own species, we don’t realize that we are also destroying the one who conceived us: Gaea, also known as Mother Earth. We are slowly destroying our home. Like a cancer, the actions that harm the world keep spreading. Also like a cancer, there is a chance the disease will leave, but only with grueling treatments. And now we are standing in front of crossroads. Either we can heal the Earth, or we can watch it slowly die, plunging the world we know into a devastating apocalypse. There are many ways we can cure the disease that the “superior beings†brought on. Even the simplest changes can help us toward our goal of leaving the world the way it was before we poisoned it, plague-free. I won’t bore you with the standard “save water, save energy, save trees†advice. Only God knows how many times people have tried to get people to listen to that message. Truth is that people are hearing the messages, but not listening. The government and many charities are spilling thousands of dollars to try and promote these changes. There is another, more effective way. First, get actors, pop stars, athletes, and other teen idols to promote these changes. Second, put some boundaries on factories and oil companies. Last, try to slowly influence American car companies to become entirely hybrid. You, sir, have the most power to make an actual change in our country, if not the world. Adolescents idolize pop stars and models and athletes. After all, who wouldn’t want to be like them? Get them into the plan. If you get famous, rich people whom every teenager knows they will probably influence adolescents a whole lot more than Public Service Announcements. Adolescence is a great age group to target if we want to save the Earth. After all, they are going to be the future, but they aren’t so young as to be controlled by their parents or guardians. After all, we need to think about the future world. And the best way to construct the future is to have that future make the blueprints. I’m sure no one has forgotten the oil spill that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico not too long ago. When I read that the only “sentence†BP got for the spill was to pay for cleanup and other damage, I was horrified! An oil company such as that one is rolling in money. Money isn’t the solution to everything! And why is it that a person can go to jail for a lot less serious reasons, but a company that killed so many beings can’t? You probably know more about this than I do, but I think it would be a good idea to put some boundaries on factories and oil companies, if only for the sake of our environment. Those companies won’t have any lasting damage if the get a little less money. As President of the United States of America, you have a powerful image. Almost no sane person can contradict you. The best way to use this image to change the world is to influence car companies into becoming hybrid. You could also influence civilians to buy hybrid cars, maybe even possibly create a scheme, such as getting 30% off of a hybrid of their choice if they turn in their old car. If everyone in the country decides to drive hybrid, think of what a difference it could make. Getting everyone to drive hybrid could possibly stop the ozone layer above America from melting(which is bound to happen if we don’t stop burning fossil fuels). I have just given you a few suggestions for saving our beautiful planet. You know how sometimes once optimistic and bright people went depressed and slightly crazy after drug abuse? Well waste is Mother Earth’s drug without the addiction or high. If we keep polluting her, astronauts in space will see the lush greens and sparkling blues we see now, but a dull dirty gray. The most beautiful, thriving planet in the solar system will be reduced to ashes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The prompt was, "write a letter to obama explaining why it was important to conserve the environment and how can we do it"Im not going to say what grade I actually recieved on it because I dont want to influence anybody's opinion.
