        We have polluted many rivers, seas and lakes.

        We have thrown rubbish from our cities into the oceans. This has killed millions of fish.

        We have cut down thousands of trees, most of them in tropical rainforests. This has killed animals and plants, and they have disappeared forever.

        We have polluted the air with our cars and factories. Now we’ve got serious health problems for thousands of people all over the world! More and more people fight against nuclear tests and nuclear weapons. But will they in?

Ending the Lesson

T.  Nice work, children. Our lesson is coming to an end.
Look at the apple. Imagine it’s our Earth. I’m cutting it into 4 pieces: Three quarters of the Earth surface is water and only 1/4 is land. One half of it is habitable. The rest of the land is desert, mountains, frozen ice-caps and other places where people cannot live in. And now I’m cutting this half into four parts. It’s impossible to believe but only 1/32 gives us food and shelter. And it will be a catastrophe if we destroy it.

– I’d like you to think over this problem much more serious and find out ways to save our planet.
