Earth is in Danger!!! By: Rohan Gowda
Before I use to be the cleanest planet you could see With green grass, clean water, no dust, and blue sea I never had to quiver in pain of dirtiness Cause on my planet there were respectful people.
It was clean, it was good, but then factories came Like gas, oil, diesel, it was lame I don't know who these bad people are
But one thing I know is that they are polluting my planet. Oh, my precious polar bears, I'm so sorry that you're losing your habitat The Japanese Rhino’s, are they extinct or are they alive? How cruel are those autocrats They did something bad and they don’t even care! If you look in the fairy world, it will look like everything's good But if you see it the reality way, everything is so good-not So now we have to try and make a different Or else, other innocent things will start to be extinct Oh, how cruel are these big industries Oh, how can these people do such bad activities? They fill the air with smoke and Carbon-dioxide But maybe there is a way to make me a better place! It’s all up to you, my dear good people You are the only hope for my existence So act now, before I die Cause the world is reaching an end, and I am crying.
What Happened to Me?
By: Uyen Trinh
The sun shined down
The wind whistled through leaves
Heard movements everywhere
I smiled, I’m was happy
Birds chirped in my ears
Squirrels squeaked while running up and down
Tree frogs jumped and croaked
Monkeys swag swiftly from tree to tree
Thousands of trees grew around me
Grew green and strong
Happy as the happiest song
Until chainsaw’s started to roam the forest
One by one, my family and friends get chopped down
Carbon dioxide was released in the air
Nothing could stop those nasty Lumber Jacks
Money, money was all they cared about
I heard them coming
Trees were cut down
Animals were threatened and disappeared
Due to deforestation, caused by Lumber Jacks!
Look at me now,
No leaves or branches or animals around
Just a plain old stump, nothing else
Small and not important anymore
What happened to me?
Will help come?
A simple, no
Lumber Jacks come and go but no, help won’t come
Step up and make a change
Every little thing counts
Living things depend on us, and you know that!
I frown, I’m sad.
Pollution in Earth Dear Earthlings,
Earth’s population is 7 billion. Earth is being polluted because of those
machines that are invented or discovered by human. In 1970, I was so
neat and clean. Every single drop of water was clean.
In 2040 there would be more pollution. Every day I am being
polluted and the water and land is being dirtier. Humans are
discovering more and more factories in one day. That makes me feel
very bad. I just want my life back like 1960s. That time I was living so
peacefully. I was green that time. There was same amount of land and
water.
But after 1960 humans started destroying me. I am the one who keep
you humans alive. Please save me. One day there would be no humans
on the earth if you keep on destroying me.
Please save me!
Your sincerely,
Unique Earth
By: Ishaan Banga
Dear Factory Owners,
There are so many reasons today for which I
write to you. Did you know that your factories
pollute me and cause me harm? I decided that it’s
best if I explain these things to you.
There are four main things that your factories
do that harm me and make me sick. One thing that harms me is that
factories pollute by dumping toxic waste in water which makes my fish
die. This also that makes me sick is by releasing CO2 in the atmosphere
creating acid rain.
Something else that makes me very unhealthy is by poisoning
endangered species which subtracts
the amount of sea animals in the
world.
Finally, by burning fossil fuels you
are slowly making the humans sick by
releasing CO2 into the atmosphere
which again creates acid rain and
pollutes the environment.
There are many negatives to having
rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere. I think you should make a change
by creating greener factories or by using renewable energy sources
which are cleaner and better for the environment. It would make me
and all my creatures very happy if you could do these things.
Sincerely,
You’re unhealthy Planet
By: Stephanie Kieft
Help Me by: Victoria Hanna
I am a mother bat,
I’m to share an important request.
I hope that humans listen
And try to stop the killer
So I can rest.
Two of my pups went hunting one night,
Flying near
The wind turbine sight.
George disappeared into the night.
Kristie came home, her face all white,
In agonizing pain and in terrible fright.
She had quite a light head,
Her lungs growing, expanding fast.
All I could do was stand there, aghast.
She perished from barotrauma,
When those deadly turning blades create
Low air pressure vortexes
That burst her frail, fragile lung cortexes
So that she couldn’t take a single breath,
Which meant death.
The reason that bats and not birds
complain,
Is because low air pressure birds’ lungs
Can sustain.
If this continues to occur
Bats, there will be no more.
And if bats no more there will be,
Insect pests that we consume for you,
Will drive you to absolute misery.
I help you, so why not help me?
Do something about it and answer
My plea!
Letter to Wind Turbine
Dear, wind turbines,
People think you are great,
You can give them clean electricity
But you are harmful for me, my family and my
species.
We can detect and avoid all kinds of structures
Scientists have known since 2004 that wind farms killed bats,
just as they kill birds, even though we are able to avoid them.
But, you are bursting our lungs with your low air pressure, and
killing us within an instant.
The most killed species of bats are the bats which depend on
trees or roots and migrate long distances. And most of my
friends are these species.
We will be soon extinct if you don’t help us.
Please increase the air pressure and help
me, my family and my species.
Sincerely
Bat

A Polar Bear’s perspective
By: Nadya
Oh how I remember those days of fun,
I and my cub was number one.
Everything was fine until the Sun,
The ice was melting and we started to run.
Now that was the start of my dangerous life,
I tried to protect my cub and my wife.
I am one of the 20,000 Polar bears in the world.
Please save me as I twist and curl.
I don’t want to end up like my uncle in 2007
There was Rapid Ice melting, please not in 2011
I saved my family, but we were scared to death.
I hope we can live, oh just one breath.
Years and years past, and the seal’s went to the ocean.
I beg for mercy, stop this commotion.
I got hungrier and hungrier, oh how I regret what I’ll do.
I ate my cub, while I chewed and chewed.
I went to hunt by my self and I saw something funny.
As I got closer and closer, no, it’s not a bunny.
I roared and roared, are you wondering what I saw?
A grizzly bear, Yes the one from the forest, that’s what I saw.
There were invading my habitat, I am starting to get mad,
I roared until they left, I was so glad.
I did some researched and I figured out who is doing this.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2), I’m coming to get you.
As I cry and cry! Do you realize what you did C02?
I ate my own cub, that was frightening.
All the seals, my favorite food, roamed free into the ocean.
Grizzly bears are starting to invade my habitat.
The ice is starting to melt, there will be none of us left.
Please stop C02, you are ruining my life.
That is why I cannot protect my cub and my wife.
C02, Please stop, You are going to kill all of us.
I want to live, please stop all of this fuss.
Dear Human’s,
I use to be free, living with my family and hunting peacefully,
Stalking prey on stable ice and swimming through the clean Arctic Ocean,
But now you came and built factories all over the world, they are releasing carbon
dioxide, they are melting our home!
Over the past two decades we grew thinner because we can’t sneak on our prey. This
carbon dioxide is killing us!
If they keep releasing this carbon dioxide they could eliminate two-thirds of my
species.
Yes, we have survived warm temperatures and in that amount of time we ate berries
and goose eggs, but now we have got use to the cold temperatures and it would be
very unlikely for us to survive warm temperatures again.
We are sure that you can’t stop global warming because you need factories to keep
yourselves alive, but please stop building factories because I think you have enough
factories in the world.
Sincerely,
Polar
By: Eliza Tu Thi Stelmach
Dear Factories,
I have some disturbing things to
share with you, and I wanted you to
know. When you burn your fossil fuels
CO2 levels rises and that means the
temperatures will increase. This causes
my homes to melt. Many of my homes have melted already lost
many of my friends. There is only one reason this happens and
that’s due to climate change.
My habitat normal temperature is
around 30 degrees Fahrenheit. It used to
be even colder than that, but your factories
came and now my species die. My species
used to not be endangered but now we are
the second most endangered animal in the
world. There are only 20,000 to 40,000
polar bears spread around the world. I know that your
factories have to release CO2 when you burn your fossil
fuel and they need to burn fossil fuel, but it would really
help if the air temperature wouldn’t rise. I wanted you to
know that I want to live in my normal natural way.
Sincerely,
The dying Bears.

DIRTY OCEANBy: Mateo
Look at me I’m the filthy sea
I used to be calm and peaceful swaying here and
there
Until the humans came treating me unfair
They threw there disgusting junk at me
I tried to tell them it’s just plain mean
They made some of my animals extinct
Ok, I’ll give them a hint
Boats with they’re dangerous blades
Watch out, my fish, they need first-aid!
Those gross plastics and oils
All my fish they’re getting boiled
Are you going to help me?
Or are you going to say ‘’ It’s just the sea.’’
The Ocean’s Poem By: Dylan
O’ humans can’t you see?
You are hurting the inside of me
Now I cannot breathe,
Can’t you just let me live peacefully
I have a plastic island inside of me
You will keep on Dumping oil in me
Now because of you,
Some of My friends will soon be extinct,
If you want animals to live with you happily,
Use your instincts and,
Don’t pollute!
The Garbage Ocean By: Kiridan
I the salt water ocean used to be
Filled with millions of marine animals
That crawled over my simmering sand
And had children swim and surf on me
Those were the good ol days
But now
There are factories, boats
And people think I am their garbage can
The greedy factory owners dump their trash in me
Making me sick
Fishing boats are capturing all my creatures
And they are spilling their poisonous oil in me
Stop it! Stop it now!
Can’t you see that you’re killing me?
Or this will be my end
And I’m sure now
I will no longer be the salt water ocean
I’ll be reduced to just a pile of filthy trash
By: Jin Gyu
Ocean is polluted
Ocean has garbage
Ocean has Plastic Island
And fish and plants is keep dying
Human is hurting ocean
But human will never stop
So Plastic Island will get bigger and bigger
And it will pollute the entire of the ocean
Garbage will pollute more and more and more
by: Tom Mac Dear factories,
I am a Coal. I was having an awesome life for 650,000,000 until I heard one
of my friends disappeared. I thought that he was lost his way until another of
friend of mine was disappeared, too. My fossil friends were disappearing every
day. Most my friends disappeared in the USA. Then while I was talking with my
grandpa, I saw a machine and people with masks. They were about to grab me
until my grandpa jumped and sacrificed for me. I was terribly sad. When I
looked up I saw sunlight. But I also saw smoke. I knew then my friends were
taken to factories to get burned.
You humans are mean and really selfish because you only care about yourself
and don’t realize your killing my friends. If you are a human and you are reading
this please stop taking my friends and polluting the environment. Stop soon or
there will be consequences with your planet. Your precious animals will die
because their habitats are being destroyed! Co2 will continue to be released into
the atmosphere, providing acid rain and, I and others will run out in 118 years
because we are not a renewable source! Most of my friends got evaporated from
your terrible factories. If you switch to a renewable clean souce like the
windmills, solar panels and hydro power turbines, you will have a better future
for your family as well as my ancestors.
So please here my plee and change the factories to renewable factories for a
better future.
From a tiny coal.
Endangered Pandas By: Quang Anh Vu
Dear Humans of Earth,
Before, there were so many of our species, but
because of the problem that has been happening,
my family, and friends are now all gone. The
reason I’m writing to you today is because you
humans are causing all the problems. It might
just tell you the problems you are causing that
make extinction of us pandas.
Us pandas are going to be extended very soon if we run out of food,
because we only eat 1 kind of food, and that is bamboos. We only eat a
certain kinds of bamboo so eventually those kinds of bamboos will run
out. In 1 day we pandas spend 14 hours if our time eating and so that
means we eat a lot of bamboos so the bamboos will run out and we
won’t have anything to eat because it’s the only food we eat. Even if
we’re going to be extended, you humans should still stop polluting
because it’s bad for the environment and polluting makes global
warming, and global warming makes climate change and our food will
be no more. One country can’t stop global warming; it will take the
whole world to do it.
I know the world won’t end, but I’m just saying
this to make the world a better place.
Sincerely,
Your endangered Pandas
A Poem of Boaters By: Ananya
As a boater,
when the big ships at sea
I see,
I wonder
What may have been their journey?
Standing on the river side
My eyes proved to be my guide.
The ships today are made of metals,
Can you imagine they were first made
of
Wood and petals.
The boats which now travel around the
world,
Could not even travel within a city,
They were pushed or pulled by man,
The modern ones work on electricity.
The boats long ago were very weak
The boats now are powerful and sleek.
The boats long ago floated with the river
They had no energy
They used the energy of flow of water.
Man tried to use a stick or a pole
But found that he had little control.
Man then tried to use energy of the air
By using a cloth to trap air in the mast
He spent less of his energy,
which was fair,
With wind energy he could move fast.
The problem,
The mast was ripped by wind and torn
In another hundred years
Steam energy was born.
Man used water, fire and coal
Because to move long distances quickly
Was his goal.
Soon man found oil
whose energy saved him much toil.
The oil one day will exhaust
Pollution that it causes is vast
Only permanent energy source is the
sun
It is harmless
Oh boaters !!!
Let us harvest it and have fun!!
Dear Boaters,
I am the ocean that is polluted. Did you know that the boat engine pollutes me? You are making me sick. I was clean but you boaters polluted me so I am dirty. Mostly the fish died because of the boaters. The boaters throw their rubbish into the ocean and the acid rain pollutes the ocean. There also is a Garbage Island in the ocean. You boaters drop poisonous rubbish into the ocean. The marine animals die because of the poisonous rubbish. Humans make more cars in the factories. The car releases carbon dioxide. These cars pour oil into the ocean and it is hard to clean the ocean again. You humans like to travel with your boats and these engines pollute the ocean while it is running. If you use too many boats the ocean is going to be even more polluted. Sincerely, Polluted ocean By: Su Sung
Dear Humans,
By Jordyn Kindness
I was there when the skies were blue, the clouds
were white and all animals existed. The world
was beautiful and peaceful .But in 1872, the
clouds where angry because they were filled
with your poisonous coal smoke, causing them to cry out in pain. Their
tear drops were filled with acid and that made acid rain causing
pollution. Animals like the Chinese river dolphin and Woolly
mammoths became extinct because of you and your factories. It kept
getting worse. Coal factories like the Peabody Energy Company caused
more Co2 to enter the atmosphere. It created so much smoke that I
could barely breathe. I can only take in so much CO2, you see. It
becomes harder and harder for us trees to survive. I thought it would
get better eventually but, suddenly noises became louder. This was not
normal. And before I knew it a blade went straight through me. It was
very sharp and oh so painful. What
remains of me is only a small little stump.
I am no longer treated with respect.
STOP it! Stop it now! I am mad and if you
wish to find me, I’m in the filthy rubbish
bin. I was made into paper. Than every
little piece of paper was wasted by the
greedy humans that rarely recycle me. Oh please stop this, I’m tired
and upset. Leave us in peace please. We can’t give oxygen when we
are slaughtered down. Help us and we will help you. I’m not as bright
and big as I was before; for I am small as a clip board and as light as a
feather. I have been reduced to just a small piece of paper.
Sincerely,
What’s left of me.
Trees
By: Farhah
Dear Lumber Jacks,
I have something to tell you. I need to tell
you about the factories in the woods.
Sometime when you cut trees down you don’t
make things right. If you able to cut trees, I
don’t mind, it’s just that when you cut all
trees or only one, we don’t have oxygen and
the trees give people oxygen. If you cut all the
trees, it might be worse.
If you cut it down, you can plant another
one, you can make oxygen for all the humans and they can be alive.
You will make people alive and make them feel happy. As you can see,
you know what you’re doing to the trees. If
Lumber Jacks, if you cut some trees, I
know you make houses, paper, timber,
bridges, accessories, music instrument, gates,
bamboo, chairs and furniture’s, But when
you do a right thing you can make people
happy.
Tree By: Nhat Linh
When I was a little tree
Everything I saw was so beautiful.
Animals and children’s came to me,
Swinging, jumping, and playing
around.
I am always friendly to everyone who
I’ve met or see
I and my family helped so many people
and creatures,
Small or big we could still help.
Helping them with making shelters for
them to live,
We help everyone to breathe.
I was always proud of myself for being a
tree
As I grew and grew, everything had
changed.
A stranger came to the forest.
My family yelled and screamed
Then suddenly I heard the sound of the
“brumm”
I turned around, my family was
chopped.
And I was the only one left,
I didn’t know what to do.
Just standing there like a statue.
I can take up a ton of carbon dioxide
Then releasing the oxygen for people to
breathe.
And without out me, no one can
breathe.
No one can make a shelter for their
homes anymore
The earth will be nothing without me.
For I am one of the 20,000 species of
trees in the world.
Stop killing me and my family,
And also all the other trees on the earth
We’ve lived here for so many years
There are going to be less and less of us,
If you keep on killing us.
Children’s, adults anyone help me
Recycle, re-use, and reduce us.
Plant more of us instead of killing us.
Trees in Crises
By: Jack Langston
Dear Lumber Jacks,
Hi, I’m Branchy and very sad because you keep on
cutting my friends and I down.
We give you oxygen for you to breathe. If you must
cut us down remember to plant more of us when you
tear us down. If you chop us down and don’t replant us
we will be completely destroyed.
So you can help save us ultimately stop deforestation.
When you log us down you have to replant us so we can
grow again.
Sincerely,
Branchy
Trees By: Vincent
Dear Lumberjacks,
Hi my name is Viney Junior. I’m not happy that you have to log
us down.
We give you oxygen. You could log us down but you have to
plant trees afterwards. Some of you just care about wood not
the environment. If you keep logging down wood we will have
no oxygen to breath. We know you need wood but still prevent
deforestation. Lumberjacks (like you) cut us down for the fun
of it. Logging, logging and logging is all they do. They don’t
plant new one so there will be no more trees. If there are no
more trees then there is no more oxygen for us.
We can’t stop the lumberjacks. If we do then more lumberjacks
start to log down more trees and will be distributed to other
countries. Money and money is what they do it for. Nothing
can stop the nasty lumberjacks.
Here we are, all alone in the forest. I hope you can make a
difference.
Sincerely,
Viney Junior
