endangered polar bears
Due to centuries of hunting practices and the destabilization of arctic habitats, there have been growing concerns about the future survival of polar bears. While hunting has long been an issue, global warming has done a number on polar bears' habitats in recent years, dramatically shrinking the polar bear population worldwide. In fact, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) estimates that there are only 22,000 to 31,000 polar bears left in the world. Polar bears rely heavily on sea ice for traveling, hunting, resting, mating and, in some areas, maternal dens. But because of ongoing and potential loss...

Dear Mister Presidents
Hello, My name is Noemie also know as Noemie Tahiti. I am a young emerging artist (13 y.o) from French Polynesia located in the middle of Pacific ocean. I participated at the show The Voice Kids 2020 in France. Beside singing, playing the ukulele and going to school, I always felt very concerned about environment and the fact that very shortly climate change will have desastrous consequences for all of us. A couple months ago I asked my parents to work together on a song to urge world leaders to step up their climate actions and commitments. It is the 5th anniversary of the 2015 Paris...

Deforestation
As the leaves caught the wind in the tree of the willow, The bed of grass swayed, soft as a pillow, I gazed out into the sky, gripping me in its safe hold, As the darkening fabric became embroidered in beads of gold. The peaceful scene was ripped apart before my eyes, As a new species came to rise, The humans tore everything I knew down, Mother Nature was beginning to drown. The built, they conquered, The environment was tortured, I couldn’t fight it, Watching the trees being ignited. We must unite, It is nature’s right, If we work together, Nature can live on forever. So make your posters...
Importance of clean water
The world needs to know that it is very hard for countries to access clean water and that everyone should appreciate that they might access clean water. Clean water is important for people's daily lives because it lets them drink water, keep good hygiene and plant crops, and if you clean drink or plant with unsanitized water it could lead to diseases which could be harmful. 2.2 billion people around the world can't access clean water, but thankfully global organizations like WHO have made programs like The Joint Monitoring Programme report there are now 785 million people who don't have access...
The Power of Small Things
The power of small things is a remarkable one. Recently, I went to pick up litter at my local canal with my family, and although this was a small action it made a huge difference not only to us but to those in our community. Doing small things still shows initiative and compassion. Doing small things is the right thing to do, because no one is too small to make a difference. With that being said, we spent hours picking cans and bottles so they wouldn’t go into the canal and harm the ducks, swans and marine life. Small things show an element of selflessness, and selfless actions will always...

Balloon of Hope
