HELP!

Class: Gymnasium Seefeld | By: Angela

Hey all the others out there!
This is my second entry, but sadly my first one has never been released.

I wonder, today I’m already wearing long trousers again, although we still have approximately 25°C over here... If you want to, please write what temperature you have where you live!

It’s quite cool to work on this project, and since we live in a wealthy country, we all have computers for our own to work on and we got two lessons per week to do so.

Actually I’m starting to get really angry at people. We all walk on the same Earth, we all use up its resources, we all hurt it by our self-serving behaviour.
Why then is it so rare that someone tries to give back a bit of what we steal, instead of taking even more?
I believe, that it is us, the young people, that need to help change something. We can elect our politicians here in Switzerland, we should really try to elect people that are conscious of our Earths problems.

For every single individual, too, it would be so easy to do better. And if that is too much to ask, why can’t they just start with caring for their children’s future? They all say „We won’t be affected anyway.“ Well, how is it that they can’t see that they already are being affected? It keeps getting warmer, ice melts, the water rises, the air gets worse... Don’t they feel the difference when they get in or out of a city?

I really hope that something will change in people’s minds. Maybe we’ll be able to save our world. I sure hope so. Who knows what’s gonna happen if we keep abusing her like that.

That's exactly the point! I'm also getting really angry of people who still say that there's no climatic change.. Oh c'mon, please, just open your eyes.. But they won't be affected anyway, right? The climatic change happens NOW! And your children would be really thankful..
Please write other entries, I like them!
Love Carole
