I don’t care about the environment

I don’t care about the environment. Why should we? It’s
mainly the older generation that wrecked it and now they
expect us to clean it up while they sit back and relax.
Nobody really cares about the environment, it’s just a good
advertising gimmick. I think that trying to clean up the
environment is a good idea and I try to help every day, but
I don’t think that the grown-ups should push all the work
on us. Instead they should pitch in and help.

ENVIRONMENTAL THOUGHT

| think that loggers should cut trees down but at a
minimum. What | mean is only cut the biggest trees
down and leave the smaller trees so we will have
larger forests. If loggers can’t cut trees down lots and

lots of people will be out of jobs.

S.0.S. - SAVE OUR SALMON, was a project of Thornhill Jr. Secondary students which won them
the honour of a place in 20/20 Vision. This is a book which gathered together newsworthy projects
of students, mainly at the senior secondary level, nation-wide. Here, some of the students involved
in the project (left to right) Jessica Lambright, Jamie Gilham and Corina Lockyer, present a copy
of the book to MLA Dave Parker.

Environmental [I think...
Thought I think people should stop throwing their garbage into the
Pollution, water and stop spilling oil into lakes, oceans, rivers,
I try to streams, and seas. Then all of the fish can survive. If all of
prevent it the fish die, we won’t have any fish to eat. If the garbage

and oil get into our drinking water we could all get really
sick and we might even die.

A thought on the environment
I think people who pollute the earth with deadly
’ chemicals should stop because it is killing the earth.
Some of the things that are getting killed are the flowers,

Trees are being rapidly
cut down for paper. lf
you think that one piece -
of paper does not mat-
ter, you are wrong. That
piece of paper does
matter to a tree that got
the axe. So please
RECYCLE.

I think loggers should?

I think loggers ‘should: plant five more trees every time
one tree is cut down. If they do this we won’t have to
worry about loss of trees and we can breath a lot easier.

I think that loggers should cut down irees because the

government could plant more trees. I think that the

government should recycle paper, .
