Earth Letters

Dear Earth,
Humans are said to be wise, but foolishly pollute the environment. I seriously do not know why! Thank You for your kindness and at the same time I apologise. Sorry to have you suffer! You are nice to us! You provide everything for us! I would rather be one of those prehistoric human than a a human today because humans in the past lives live in caves and do not destroy the environment but they would rather, cut down trees to provide them with wood and space to build homes in. I am so very soory! I guarantee you with my life that I will stop pollution! I simply love the environment but I am so sad to see nature destroyed! I do not like the modern conveniences in our daily lives! Because if we do that, the rare and precious Earth will be destroyed! People take Nature for granted! I am so angry! I will show you my sincerity by reminding my classmates to treasure our precious resources- Mother Nature and Earth. I, swear that I, Zhu Xinyu will never destroy the Earth and Nature. Instead, I will be an environmentalist to promote people to be "Eco-conscious" If I do not do that or waste resources, I will be striked by lightning and die of a terrible death. I will also do my best in saving the environment. If I did not get to help, I will never rest in peace! My dream is to save you!

Poem:
The endangered planet is coming!
All the animals are running!
Trees are burning down!
The world is becoming a town!
Stop! Stop! You don`t know what you are doing!
You are doing a terrible thing!
The Earth will be dying in a few years' time!

Sincerely,
Xinyu

Dear Earth,
It is a pleasure to meet, or write to you in person. I would like to talk about the acts of we humans do to you, both good and bad.Actually, I am very angry when I heard about global pollution issues. You must be hurt. I feel sorry for you, but we are doing the best we can. Pollution, pollution and more pollution-a word that makes me and you mad. In Indonesia, few years back, there was haze all over it. It affected other countries too, like Singapore. I was coughing and the air was not fresh. What makes it worse is that it destroys your biome, the forest, the lungs of Earth, which are your lungs! I can feel your pain; it feels like having asthma attacks, like I do. It burns, it hurts, and it is burnt for land! How selfish are we! How I hope they did not do it! Such large areas were burnt! There is also another major pollution happening all around you: littering. We should not litter. Trash can be thrown into trash bins when you see them. I was thinking,”Why can’t people NOT litter and why not throw it into litter bins when they see them? They can hold onto it, can’t they?”People or maybe scientists have been thinking and predicting the destruction of the world. They have said its 2012, but we can avoid it, can’t we? 6 degrees can change the world; we have to be very careful. There is a hole in your ‘skin’, what we call the ozone layer.We can save this planet with the three ‘R’s, “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!”Reduce by not buying items we don’t need, it can reduce trash. Reuse by being creative and eco-friendly! We can reuse items or modify them into other useful items. Recycling, it can be done with some order and recycling bins.If we were to recycle almost every item, how great can it be! You would not be covered with burnt patches or wearing a smelly suit of garbage, but be clean and as good as can be. It would be tough, but dreams can become reality. You are our homeland, we must protect you in any way.

Sincerely,
Jieheng
