My dear children,
I am dying, and I want to tell you how much I love you
and how much your actions have hurt me. I gave life
to your parents and their parents before them. I
provided you with food, with fresh water and with
clean air to breathe.
The rivers and seas are my life blood. You have polluted
my arteries with chemicals from your factories. This
has killed so much of the sea life which was there for
you.
You have been greedy. You have over-fished and

12.

over-hunted. I can not breathe because you have cut
down so many of my life-giving trees.
Without their oxygen we will all die and my tears have
now turned to acid rain.
My face is marked and scarred by your bombs and
guns and my body is the burial ground for the
victims of your wars.
I have said good bye to many old friends who will
soon be damaged by others: the tigers, the
elephants, the rhinoceros and the pandas. Unless
you act now, they won’t be saved by you and me.
Please help me!
Mother Earth.
