My Perfect World The
only thing I hate about this world is the way that the environment is
treated. For example the
blockbuster movie “The Beach” was filmed on a beautiful beach in
Thailand but the camera crew ruined the beach and some creatures died too. Instead
of getting all these fancy materials that are made in factories that might
cause fumes. Express
yourself, make a suit or even a hat out of rubbish, you might not wear it
down the street, but at least it helped the environment. My
perfect world will be one with air as fresh as a mountain river and golden
sunsets with deep blue seas and treasurous sand. Have
you ever seen those art sculptures made entirely out of Nature?
Leaves, twigs and stones. Why
don’t you have a go at making one? Did
you know that you can make musical instruments out of pure Nature? When
our plans for the future have developed we hope we should see a massive
improvement with the environment. Sometimes
we just feel like dropping our litter, believe me. I know, i’ve done it.
But now its all changed I have realised that there is more than one
way to get rid of rubbish. We
hope you understand our message. Hanna

What
are we doing to our environment? Today,
we are all gathered here from many different schools to talk about the
environment, there are many ways of helping the environment, also there
are many ways of destroying it. Lets
look at some positive and negative examples, to be honest the world
is’nt so bad, but trust me its getting worse by the second, life will be
getting duller until finally everything is destroyed, if we don’t stop
and look at how we can imrove it, and also recognise how we may have been
destroying it. Could
Bolton ever become a seaside town? The
answer is YES it could. With
temperatures changing, and sea levels rising we see more flooding, rivers
are bursting their banks, the seasons are changing, summers are later,
winters are warmer. On top of
that wild creatures are loosing their habitat at an alarming rate, it is
indeed a scary prospect. We
as species, and on top of the food chain are ruining our world, for us and
every living thing. What
can we do to reverse this trend? Impossible,
I hear you say! Well I say
it’s not. Yes it’s a global problem, but we each can make a difference
and as children we have a responsibility to force change. This
is our world, and we are the future! Start
at home. Try to encourage our parents and schools to fit energy saving
lights, and this one for us kids, remember to turn them off. Use recycling bins, I know this takes extra time, but it’s
worth it. There’s plenty of
these at our supermarkets, don’t drop litter.
Each school could organise a clean up campaign, maybe plant a tree,
one for each pupil in their school. Let’s
start the new millennium the right way, let’s save the world and keep
the future bright. The
world needs the kiss of life! Love
the world, and she will love us back! Kathryn
