I got my Grade 4 Class to write letters to Mother Earth.
Here are some of the things they wrote.
Dear Mother Earth
I am so sorry about all the pollution we humans are making. I will try to stop people polluting but it won't be easy. And I'm sorry that people are cutting down your trees. I will try to recycle when I can. I will tell my whole family about it. I hope that you will get better, Mother Earth. I love you because you gave me lfe.
Dear Mother Earth
In 2018 it was cold but now it is hot and there is so much ice. Can you stop it?
Dear Mother Earth
Sorry for the climate and the terrible things some people do like throwing plastic. I hope you'll be okay. You're the kindest person I've seen and I want to help you to continue to give us life. You're the most caring person. I hope people will stop! I don't know why people do this to you? I feel bad for you. I hope you stay strong as I believe in you. It's okay to feel pain. Just breathe in and breathe out. You are strong. You are kind. You can make it through. Is the earth okay? My wish for you is that the water stays fresh, te flowers are blooming and the sun keeps shining.
Dear Mother Earth
We are so sorry for our bad behaviour and all we humans have done. How could we ever thank you for all the water and food you have given us over the years? We all love you, but some weird people don't deserve you. I am so angry at bad humans. Every time I see rubbish, I pick it up and put it in the trash.
Dear Mother Earth
I am sorry people are bad to you but I wonder what you plan to do about it and if the world will go down and if it happened what will happen to us. Why must good people suffer for the things bad people do?
Dear Mother Earth
Four years ago, I helped Mother Earth by planting lots of little trees at my house. The trees give us air.
Dear Mother Earth
I am worried about three things.
Plastic in the ocean.
Cutting down too many trees.
Bad air.
Dear Mother Earth
I'm so sorry for what we have done to the earth. The earth is getting worse and worse and many people try and stop this but it's not enough. The poles are melting and pollution is happening. The earth is getting warmer and warmer. Before everyone thought we could do what we want and it would be okay but it has all gone so bad too fast.
Dear Mother Earth
I wanted to ask you if the world will go down like a ship? It sounds very dark. How will it go down? Climate change? Will you ever be able to forgive humans for what we have done to you? We can still change and right now there are children all over the world sriking just because they are angry at what their parents did to cause climate change. Do adults even care? Many people say that they are doing good things for the environment but they are lying. It's all about the money. They don't care if they hurt or damage you as long as they make money.
