• It’s wonderful world we live in. For thousands of years the Earth has given support to all forms of life – human being, animals, birds, fishes, insects and plants.

• But now human beings are killing our planet.
• Many species of animals and birds have disappeared.

• The country air, once clean and fresh, now may be polluted by power stations and factories.

• Some of our rivers are now empty of fish. And in some rivers you can even see a thick foam caused by chemical waste.

• All over the world the forests are disappearing.

• There is a lot of litter on the beaches.

• Pollution is very dangerous for people, wildlife and the environment.

• What will happen if we don’t try to solve these problems?

• In 1971, motivated by their vision of the green and peaceful world, a small team of activists set sail from Vancouver, Canada, in an old fishing boat. These activists, the founder of Greenpeace, believed a few individuals could make a difference. Today, Greenpeace is an international ecological organization that has 2,8 million supporters world wide, and national as well as regional offices in 41 countries. Its headquarters are based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
• The common mission of this organization is preserving life on the earth in its full variety.

• People can save the Earth:
• If they had been more careful, pollution wouldn’t have killed so many fishes and plants in the sea.
• If they didn’t throw away tons of rubbish, they wouldn’t have so many environmental problems now.
• If we had stopped using poisonous gases, our air would be fresh and clear.
• If we thought about our future, we wouldn’t have cut down forests.

• Conclusion:
• If people thought about the Earth, the Earth would be save now.
• The world needs a friend
• To love and depend on
• In times of trouble…
• The world has hope yet
• If the children let it
• And if we do it right
