I can help by turning off my TV and lights when I leave the house and also by unplugging my phone charger when I'm not using it. I can turn off my air conditioning when it's not needed. Same goes for my heat, it uses some much energy to heat a house. There are some many ways to same energy and almost everyone is trying to.

Family and energy

First off my mom, Danielle works at Johnson Controls which is an energy efficiency company so she knows all the best ways to save energy. We have high energy efficiency washer and dryer that saves A TON of water and we switch all 41 of our light bulbs to fluorescent light bulbs to reduce how much electricity we use in our home.  We also save energy by signing up for the energy savings plan with WE Energy. WE Energy is a program that only runs the dish washer and clothes washer after 7 pm on weekdays. In the summer we follow the critical peak  schedule and shut off our air conditioning when needed, and in the winter we set our heat low. We save energy and help our environment.

The street thing

It was a normal day, I woke up and thought I would spend the whole day in bed. I was looking forward to my do nothing day until, Kevin called me from Tajikistan and asked me to help him carry his cow. Knowing me, he knew I would never reject an offer like that, he said my ride would arrive with in the hour. Time pasted and I heard knocking at my door; when I answered it no one was there. I closed the door, put one foot forward and heard the knocking again but this time there was a tiny box. I decided to open the box and out poped a violet pony with wings the size of a jet. I was so amazed, I thought to my self, this couldn't get any better.

Did you know, that if you fly high enough into the clouds there is a large variety of delicacies cafes? Its okay if you didn't I wouldn't know if it wasnt for Donky, my violet pony. There is a specific place where they have chocolate that even Willy Wonka could dream of. Once I finished my delightful treats, I was stuffed and we continued our journey, where we would be over the ocean.

When we got over the ocean Donky took me close to the water, I thought i was going to do what people do in the movies and run my hand over the top of the water. Instead he took me right to the underwater world, Atlantis. I got to meet almost everyone; I thought Ariel was this sweet and kind mermaid but she really not, she is sassy and mean. What really surprised me was how nice Sebastian is, he welcomed me with open arms. After a killer party it was time to leave so I said my goodbye.I partied so hard, I wanted to sleep the rest of the trip.

I started to imagine I was back at home in my bed and all this was a dream, but i woke up to Donky; that's when I knew it was all real. Our journey had ended, I arrived at kevin's house in Tajikistan. We carried his fat cow from the far right of his house to the far left of his house. Once we finished that I stayed for a little while to catch up with him and we also went out for some food. Before I knew it I was getting back on Donky, the violet pony who's wings are as large as a jet and our journey was starting all over. Next thing I knew I was really back at home. I heard my parents calling me down for dinner, when we all finely sat down my mom asked me what I did today and that's when I told them all about my journey. :)
