INTERNATIONAL EARTH DAY 22ND APRIL 2019

International Earth day prompts us not to forget that the world we inhabit is under great threat Blue oceans are being choked by plastic pollution reduce, reuse and recycle is the simple solution The balance of nature has been upset by man species close to extinction, poachers strike if they can If we don’t act quickly these rare breeds we’ll lose their only protection is in nature reserves or zoos Felling the rain forest is an issue we must combat deforestation is destroying animal’s natural habitat The effects of global warming on earth is far reaching reducing fossil fuels is what we should be preaching Educating both young and old is the key to success we must act together to try to sort out earth’s mess 2/17/19
