http://www.AsianGeo.com/JUNIORHey Kids!
If you really think about it, the planet we live on is like a
spaceship, keeping us alive while we whizz through space!
And to produce ever ything we need to keep us alive, this
spaceship has to be alive itself. This is one reason she is
known as Mother Ear th.
But, in just a ver y shor t time, we have caused some huge
changes in Mother Ear th’s system. We have been cutting
down the trees, which are her lungs, and have been
poisoning the water, which is like her blood. We have been
digging things up, making other things, and then throwing
them away - but we’ve forgotten that there is no “away”!
It’s a spaceship remember?
So all of our rubbish and waste has been building up and
making it harder and harder for our spaceship to do what it
needs to do to keep us all alive...
But don’t worr y, we already know what we need to do
better. In fact, most of the answers are right there in front
of us – like all good mothers do, Mother Ear th herself has
not only given us ever ything we need, but is also showing
us the way to design things in more clever ways that will
help keep ever ything alive and thriving!
Aren’t mothers wonder ful?
