girl called Amla who lives in Mumbai and wants to save the earth.
Amla: I’m tired of this city Full of buildings so cold and dead There are no trees or flowers It’s
crowded with people instead
The roads are blocked with traffic jams .The skies are grey with smog. The noise is just
unbearable And the garbage stench is terrible
Her Friends in turns: Where is the world we’re supposed to know? Where are the trees? ….
….. The flowers and the bees?
The yellow Gelds, the burning sun above, The bright blue sky, the pretty birds that fly.
They often sang for people.
Where have they gone?
Song on birds

Lets take the leaf and think about saving the earth .
