Sir,

We are actually not proud that the earth has been sustaining life ever since day one; that it is the most ancient thing we have around us. We never thank the earth for taking care of our every step, like it’s taking care of babies. We like our cars more than the earth we were given to look after.

People of this world and planet earth, let us bear it in mind that we are not the last generation to live here on earth, because it had been standing and supporting life for many years, and will always do so to infinity.

Treat

Let’s learn to treat the earth as family or the mother of all life. We, the people,

The children themselves run a much greater risk of poor health, and have a much higher chance of becoming teenage mothers. Being aware of this are becoming selfish, yet we need to be fighting for the earth’s cleanlines­s and treat it as a treasure. Together as one we are strong, so we could ensure that the earth sustains life with love and care.

Clean

Maybe there would be no plaques like COVID-19 if we shared one goal of ensuring that the earth is always clean. We need to recycle more and restore back the desires of the earth and feed it with the food it likes and balanced nutrient quantity.

It’s not a coincidenc­e that at the same time people of the world are afraid of global warming, there is a virus that emerged. Summits upon summits about the dangers of climate change had been held throughout the planet the past few

years, but now we have COVID-19 in our mist. And this virus has shown its capabiliti­es of closing down factories and restrictin­g the movement of cars, which are huge causes of the carbon footprint.

So this coincidenc­e may be of a disadvanta­ge to a lot of things, but what if the earth was trying to restore some of what it had lost because of a series of toxins that had been in the atmosphere and on the ground.

Heal

The President of the United States of America, Joe Bidden, in his first public speech said; “It’s time to heal. So let us all try and participat­e in doing good towards the earth because it is still going to survive for many years no matter what and sustain life for generation­s to come.’’ It’s time for the earth to heal.
