DIRT!

         DIRT 

           I have learned a lot more about dirt then I have ever known in my life! For example: How a teaspoon of dirt can be more living then we are! I liked when the school removed sheets of concrete and the dirt cartoon looked overjoyed! I enjoyed watching the school do compost and plant rows of plants! Also there are layers of dirt! Did you know that the earth is 10 percent dirt? Also in this movie I enjoyed hearing different peoples opinion on how the dirt effects there lives! I also found out that some people eat dirt! Imagine having to eat dirt for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I also learned that some farms grow only one crop! This is called monoculture. This is bad because you want to have different types of plants to keep the soil healthy! I also learned that people are farming and then donating to local shelters. This is great because it allows people to have fresh fruits and vegetables! In conclusion I never thought that dirt could be so important! I was especially surprised about my first fact!


      When I think about dirt I think about worms, I personally do not like worms! When i'm in the forest I get very calm but not because of the soil. I hear the birds chirping, and the trees swaying. Basically dirt for me is not calming but the forest is! I was really surprised to here how many farmers in India committed suicide! I was especially surprised that they would kill themselves when they had a family to feed! We can always have more cautious about what is happening to the earth! For example the dirt! If the dirt is all dried up and you can't grow anything this effects lots of daily lives! I think everything you do to help the planet even how small it is you are still helping! Also think about everything you are not doing to help the planet. Pretend that you threw a bottle cap on the grass. Imagine if you threw something on the grass everyday? All of that builds up and you may not realize it. I feel that we should help our ecosystem because this can effect our planet immensely even if it is really small. Just like the hummingbirds!
