The Winning Essay

How To Save Gresham

You can help save Gresham by doing a lot. So, don’t take a long shower. We can use that water to water farms and fields.

Start shopping locally. My mom and I recycle and don’t waste water. Help farmers by not wasting water that can help water plants. This can help save our planet. Don’t drive too much. That pollutes our air. It can kill many animals.

Buy stuff in Gresham so people don’t lose their jobs, just like my mom, so you can help my mom get a job. Together, we can save our planet! And if you buy in Gresham and make it safer, then Gresham will be safer. Use the R’s Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Save our planet!

Try Local First thanks all our contest entries for their their enthusiasm in supporting their local economy!
