Writing (read the letter and write the article “What we can do to save our planet”. My dear children, I am dying, and I want to to tell you how much I love you and how much your actions have hurt me. I gave life to your parents and their parents before them. I provided you with food, with fresh water and with clean air to breathe. The rivers and seas are my life blood. You have polluted my arteries with chemicals from your factories. This has killed so much of the sea life which was there for you. You have been greedy. You have over-fished and

over-hunted. I can not breathe because you have cut down so many of my life-giving trees. Without their oxygen we will all die and my tears have now turned to acid rain. My face is marked and scarred by your bombs and guns and my body is the burial ground for the victims of your wars. I have said good bye to many old friends who will soon be damaged by others: the tigers, the elephants, the rhinoceros and the pandas. Unless you act now, they won’t be saved by you and me. Please help me! Mother Earth.
