 Our planet is in danger, and we are responsible for this situation. But it’s no too late. We will have
to work together to help save our home.
Did you know that man destroys 50 acres of rainforest every minute? If you throw away two
aluminium cans, you waste more energy than one billion of the world’s poorest people use in one day! Air
conditioning uses 10 times more energy than a fan and so the pollution it creates is 10 times greater.
There are mountains of rubbish everywhere, the Arctic ice cap is melting, and animals are becoming
extinct.
So what can we do to help? Surprisingly, it’s very easy, but we all have to do every day. Otherwise
things will never change. Save electricity: turn off the lights, computers, laptops, and TVs when you don’t
need them. One of the best way to help the planet is to ride a bike to school. Reuse and recycle and you
will help the planet in a positive way.
