Dear Susan Davis,
My name is August McKenzie and I am writing to make a case for renewable energy. I attend the 6th grade at High Teck Middle Media Arts. There we are learning about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. We understand the importance for the world to start to move into using renewable energy. We need to start using renewable energy soon so that we can live in a healthy environment.

I would like to thank you for supporting the Safe Climate Act and the Clean Energy Act. I would like to thank you for supporting wind and solar energy. These have all helped our world a lot. You have made it aware for others that we do need to make a change. I am also writing this letter to you to give you more ideas in how we can make this world a better place.

One of the ways we can help the future of our planet is by informing the future generation about global warming. I feel that a lot of kids know very little about global warming and its affects. Since kids are the future of our planet we need to make sure that they will be aware of global warming when they get older. Adults have a hard time changing to renewable energy because they were not grown up with renewable energy. To make this happen we need this to be taught in school. So just like you have to teach math in school they should make it so that you need to teach about global warming.

One more way we can help global warming is to use more types of renewable energy. Right now most of our renewable energy sources aren’t that efficient and don’t create that much power. So instead of just trying to upgrade wind and solar you could work with all the different energy sources so that there won’t have to be such a huge upgrade to just one energy source.

Thanks for reading my letter and I hope this will help on your battle for renewable energy.

Sincerely,
August

Since kids are the future of our planet we need to make sure that they will be aware of global warming when they get older. Adults have a hard time changing to renewable energy because they where not grown up with renewable energy. But if kids are grown up around renewable energy they will be used to using renewable energy and they will have a lot of knowledge about global warming so they will know how to minimize the amount of pollution that they will put into the air. To make this happen we need this to be taught in school. So just like you have to teach math in school they should make it so that you need to teach about global warming.

One more way we can help global warming is to use more types of renewable energy. Rite now most of our renewable energy sources aren’t that efficient and don’t create that much power.

Feeling like a "Freak"

One of the first times I felt like a “freak” was in 5th grade when I fell on my face and broke my two front teeth. The falling part wasn’t the bad part. It was after the fall when I had huge marks all over my face from the fall. Everyone would look at me and giggle or point and say something two there friends. I felt like an alien from some other world because of the way they would look at me. But my friends wouldn’t say anything so that helped me out. I finally got my two front teeth fixed and my scraps went away after a while. No one really talked about it after that. You can’t even tell that I broke my two front teeth. I really never had treated anyone like a “freak” before but my friend in first grade got a huge red thing on his lip. I am not sure what it was called but it wasn’t the prettiest thing to look at. Other kids would stay away from him and treat him like a “freak”. It was hard to stand up for him because everyone would make fun of you but I still told them that it was nothing to be worried about and to stop treating him differently. It worked but it took a while.
