LETTER  TO  MOTHER  EARTH  

 When  the  last  tree  has  fallen  

When  the  last  river  has  dried  

When  the  last  fish  has  been    fished  

Only  then  will  you  realise  that  money  can't  be  eaten.  

 

Dear  Mother  Earth,    

Through   the   years   we   have   been   using   your   resources   like   there   were   no  

consequences.     Because   of   the   increase   of   the   population   in   the   world,   your  

natural  resources  as  water,  fossil  fuels  and  wood  are  decreasing.  We  are  using  it  

like  a  credit  card  with  no  spending    limit.    We  hope  you  forgive  us,  we  just  didn’t  

realize  how  special  you  are.    

We  want  more  roads  and  buildings  to  have  a  better  life  and  we  are  forgetting  the  

trees   that  make  us  breath  and  give  us   the  real   life.    Trees  are  amazing,  and  we  

mean,   we   literally   breath   the   air   they   are   creating,   and   they   clean   up   our  

pollution,  our   carbon,   they   store  and  purify  water,   give  us  medicine   that   cures  

our  diseases,  food  that  feeds  us.    And  we’re  sorry  to  tell  you  that  we  burned  them  

down  and  cut  them  down  with  brutal  machines.      

However,  some  of  us  are  trying  to  help  you  by  planting  trees  and  saving  natural  

resources.    This  help  is  not  enough  and  we’re  trying  to  pass  the  message  that  all  

of  us  need  to  contribute  to  save  you.      

“Fighting   for   racism,   poverty,   feminism,   gay   rights,   or   any   type   of   equality,   it  

won’t   matter   in   the   least,   because   if   we   don’t   all   work   together   to   save   the  

environment,  we  will  be  equality  extinct.”  Team  5
