We have managed to get a copy of Sunday news paper of May 17 ,2009 that has an article titled "Climate biggest threat of health".

The article says climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century according to leading meadical journal.

Direct problems that have been mentioned include mass migrations, increase of diseases such as salmonella that is expected to rise due to temperature changes. Also mentioned instability of floods and water supplies.

Solutiuons that have been proposed in the article include improving healthcare systems in each country to be prepared for such health hazards and talk about health problems caused by climate change in every climate change conference.

There is high priority in climate change articles in Tanzania, we have weekly reports and articles about climate change in both swahili and english newspapers.

The headline that caught my eye and impressed most is "Climate biggest threat of health" because it shows that climate does not only affect nature but also human health systems.

The headline I will give for an article about climate change will be "Climate change a serious global disaster"

It not possible to do these things everytime becuase we are still students and sometimes we have to do our homeworks and parents dont allow us going to club during the night.

Our class has 62 students, 33 boys and 29 girls

I think the climate protection project is very crucial because it will teach people and communities around the world about climate change and show them better ways to protect the climate

I think industrialized countries like China should do more in reducing emission of CO2 that cause climate change but also introduce efficient technologies.

Yes we do like trees and I would like to be a Baobab tree because it lives longer than any other tree, I like trees because they

•reduce amount of CO2

•act as the wind breakers

The government has launched a campaign called “Tunza Mazingira Yakutunze” a swahili campaign meaning “Care for the Environment so that it Cares You” the campaign is run by the Vice President to sensitize communities in Tanzania to protect the environment.

The famous person in our country is beutiful young and intelligent girl known as Ms. Flaviana Matata, she was Tanzania's contestant in Miss Universe three years ago, I am impressed by her because she is confident and has managed to do well in modelling industry.

In my neighborhood Tegeta there is an orphanage centre that takes care of orphan children, sometimes people from different parts of the country come visit and donate money to the orphans.

We think the Swiss government is doing enough, but we don’t know the details on how much is being done by the Swiss government. It will be very good if you could send us information telling us how much your government is doing in climate change.

We plant trees in our school premises and now we have hot stuff chill out project in our school where our fellow students are taught about climate change and exchange ideas with their collegues elsewhere in other countries.
