One of the many things that people usually throw away is the newspaper. The newspaper are thrown away or burnt. But there are only a few people that think this material could be recycled. This way the natural resources could be saved and the world could be cleaner. The environment is worth much more attention that people often give.

Many people know that the nature is like a home for animals and plants. But they don't protect this "home". They didn't think that one day the environment can disappear definitively.

I am sure if an animal or a plant could talk, it would have many things to say about how people treat the environment. An animal would say that it is in danger to disappear, because the man and the man chase it pollutes the nature, its home. Plants are in danger to be polluted, too.

The animals and plants help the man, but him doesn't value this help. Imagine how could be a world without animals and plants. For this reason we, children of today, must care for our world.

Many people throw way paper but they don't recycle it. It is very useful for many of us. Children around the world try to recycle the paper but a large quantity id thrown away and burnt. That is why a big surface of forests is cut down. If this will continue, I think our planet is in danger!

Many people don't care for our world. They throw away many things that don't disintegrate.

One of those things is plastic. People throw it in the sea and on the ground, but they don't understand that they are polluting the environment.

Many sea-animals and birds can get caught in plastic bags, because they float and the animals think it is food.

Another problem is fishing-wire. Fisherman throws it away and animals can eat it or get strangled with it.

People should stop throwing away plastic and start recycling it.

"Mr. Bear, what could you say about your forest?" "My forest is my home, but now I must be sincere and say I don't feel at home here any more."

"Why?"

"Because people cut a lot of trees and didn't plant new ones." "What about your den?"

"I tried to make my den more comfortable for me and my cubs but when we go

out for food, we find the river very dirty and almost without fish." "What do you think about what people should do?" "People should take care of the environment and keep the nature clean and healthy."

"Thank you for the interview!"

"You are welcome!"

I am a poor sheet of paper. Many people use me to write letters. The pupils need the sheet of paper to solve problems and do their homework. They consider me rubbish when they don't need me any more. They don't collect the sheets of paper in order to use them again. That is why the environment is polluted!

Last Sunday I went for a picnic in the forest. There I met a squirrel and interviewed it.

"Where do you live?"

"I live in the forest."

"Why do you like to live there?"

"Because forests are home to many animals and the trees are beautiful and also bring rain."

"Do you see people in the forest in summer?" Yes, of course, they come here every Sunday." "How do people treat the environment?"

"They pollutes it. When they leave the forest they leave behind garbage: empty bottles of Fanta, cans of Coke, vegetables and bones. Garbage pollutes all nature. The soil is polluted by waste, too." I still think of the red squirrel which I saw last summer, and I am not happy!

Many children have a lot of toys.

But the spoilt and the old ones they throw away. They don't realize that we can wash and repair the toys. And then they can give these toys to the poor children.

"Hello, monkey! How are you? Why are you looking at me so unhappily?" "I am very sad, I am here in this cage running and running round this little tree."

"Can you speak?!"

"Yes, I can. A lot of people come here and look at me, talk to me and I have learnt to speak. But I don't like to stay here, inside eating my bananas, playing with my tail, climbing up and down. The cage and everybody looks at me and laughs at me. I miss my forest, my friends, my happiness."

"How sad! I am very sorry for you! What can I do for you?" "Say to people to love animals in their own places, not in cages at the zoo. I feel like a thief, like a criminal. I don't like such a life! I want to be with my family. Can you help me?" "I promise I shall do all my best!"
