So I’m sure by now most of you have heard how our environment isn’t in the best shape…then there’s all these simple things you can do to help…different ways of giving back…a lot of dangerous events are occuring that could lead up to something horrific…some even claim it’s nearing the end of humanity…well, I had my wake-up call this morning!

Every morning, I get up and head straight for the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Today, I went to turn on the sink, and something with our water pressure had been screwed up, and I had only a few drips of water to work with. I thought, “Did we use the whole supply? Did I break the sink?”…and then I began contemplating whether the nearby brushfires had anything to do with it…,”Were the firemen using up the water to fight the fires?” I thought. As the few drips barely moistened by toothbrush, I was hit by something… no, not literally, but by a completely terrible thought! People had always told me to conserve water, and I’d tried my best to take short showers, to turn off the faucet while brushing my teeth, to recycle, to buy eco-friendly lightbulbs…but today, it dawned on me that I would have no way to survive without my water…DUH! First, I’d have to drink all the bottled waters and use those until they ran out, then the soda, then the other juices and liquids…could humans survive without water? No! DUH! But are we doing that much to conserve water…eh, kinda, not really!

There was no way for me to shower, clean my dishes…anything! And, although it was only a little problem with the water pressure, I began thinking that if we keep wasting water and nonrenewable resources, we’re on our way to running out of stuff…quickly! You’d be surprised how much damage we’ve done in the past few years, decades, centuries.

Since I’m only 14, it’s my generation… all of my friends, basketball team, you guys…we have to do our part. And I’m not pushing you to become an environmentalist, or get carried away in trying to save the planet, but it’s so easy to do little things! For example, unplug your phone/camera/laptop chargers and tv/radios when not in use, turn off the lights when exiting a room, add “eco-friendly lightbulbs” to the shopping list, and your parents can help install them…even ask if they’d get you a Hybrid as your first car!

All I’m saying is, when people tell you that it’s up to YOU to help save the environment, they’re not kidding! WE all have a lot of work needing to be done…but by starting small, we can take the necessary steps to achieving a healthier community, state, country, and eventually, universe!

Please comment below on what you’re doing to help the environment! Maybe you’ll give me an idea or help me change some bad habits! Thanks everyone!

Hey, everyone! It’s Alyson Stoner here, writing on my Kewl Blog! Due to a crazy schedule, it’s been quite tough updating even my own personal blog (alysonstoner.com), but I’ll try my best to keep all you readers posted! First off, thanks so much for checking out this site! This magazine has become one of my favorites, since there’s awesome info, sweet pictures and posters, a Go Green section, and even a fitness page! How Kewl is that??

Secondly, I wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you for stopping by! I know you’re busy with homework, sports, learning new instruments, cooking, and everything else, but sometimes you have to treat yourself…and this is where it’s happenin!

Third, I wish you all the best in whatever you may have coming up. Whether it’s a big biology test, a first crush, a championship game, or trying something new, I hope you strive to succeed, work hard, and don’t let anybody tell you ‘no’! Being in the business, you hear and see a lot of harsh things, so it’s important to keep solid friends and good family time in your life, just in case things get a little crazy!

Last, I’d like to let you all know about Camp Rock!….it’s the newest Disney Channel Original Movie, starring the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, and AnnaMaria Perez de Tagle. I play Caitlyn, an aspiring music producer at Camp Rock, who mixes and matches crazy clothes with fun beats and a spunky attitude! It was a total blast filming in Canada, and you all should be getting more info about it soon! Also, be sure to check out Phineas & Ferb, Disney’s latest cartoon starring Ashley Tisdale and Mitchel Musso (I play Isabella, who has a mad crush on Phineas)…

Keep it Kewl!!
