Our lesson is compiling to an end.
Look at the apple.
Imagine it’s our Earth.
I’m cutting it into 4 pieces:
– Our lesson is coming to an end.
Look at the apple. Imagine it’s our Earth. I’m cutting it into 4 pieces: Three quarters of the Earth surface is water and only 1/4 is land. One half of it is habitable. The rest of the land is desert, mountains, frozen ice-caps and other places where people cannot live in. And now I’m cutting this half into four parts. It’s impossible to believe but only 1/32 gives us food and shelter. And it will be a catastrophe if we destroy it.
– I’d like you to think over this problem much more serious and find out ways to save our fragile planet.
A song «Save the planet».
