Why Do We Have To Save The Earth?

Dominican International School, Grade 5 Student, ROC / Viviann Lu

We need to save the earth! That is because that Mother Earth is angry. As the same time, she is sick, feeling uncomfortable. How do we know it? Mother earth has been sending people many messages by making many disasters which put people in danger. She feels upset and disappointed with people, if we don’t know how to love her. Then we don’t really know how to love ourselves, and we may hurt ourselves by creating much more trouble for our living. Being selfish will kill our future as soon as possible. We need the earth! If the environment of the earth is totally destroyed, we will die, because we can’t live without the planet. However, the earth doesn’t need us that much. It can live without people.

Do you know how we could save earth? We can recycle things. We can produce and use lesser paper, plastic, and metal cans or bottles. We can use less air conditioner, fan, and other electricity. People do not know how to love the earth, respect lives, and other precious gifts that God give to us. We should learn how to balance everything. For example, if we eat too much, it is not healthy for our body. In the other hand, if we don’t eat, we are too weak to defeat the bad germs and become sick. That is why keeping balance is very important.

I wish people would understand and respect everything around us. Love and balance can save the earth and ourselves. I wish the earth could be healthy and happy once again in the future, if we “do it right away.” I wish people, other living things and the  environment could live together in peace and happiness forever and ever.
