The Talking Birds

One day, Kate saw her grandmother staring out to the lake.

"What are you doing Grandma?", she asked.

"I'm watching the birds, Kate", said Grandma. "They are flying unusually low. How strange! Something happens."

Kate looked at her granny and said:"Maybe they are showing us that there is a treasure hidden somewhere"

People can learn a lot from animals, especially from birds.

Kate asked her granny: "Why are there less birds than last year?"

"Well, it is probably due to climate change."

"Climate change? What is it?"

"Well dear, climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas."

Kate thought for a moment. "What can we do to help the birds?" she asked. Her grandmother smiled and said, "There are many small things we can do. We can plant trees, recycle, and use less electricity. Every small action helps the planet." Kate felt hopeful. She decided to tell her friends at school. Together, they could start a project to protect nature and learn more about climate change.

Next day, Kate went to school and gathered with her close friends George and Emma. She told about the things she learnt about climate change.

'' That is horrible that humans can cause such a big disaster on nature! '' said George.

'' Yes, but humans can solve the problem as well.'' said Emma.

'' That is why we should start a project about Climate Change at our school and let our friends and teachers learn more about it. '' said Kate.

As a start they decided to lay out the problems world is facing because of climate change. They found visuals about temperature rise, animals' habitats destruction, droughts, melting glaciers, rising sea levels and so on.

Last Monday afternoon, we got together to talk about ways to help our planet. We all had different ideas, but we tried to agree on things we could really do to make a difference. George said we should check the taps at school during breaks, and we decided to look at every toilet to make sure no water is leaking. Emma had another idea—she said we should spend one day cleaning the forest near our school. We picked the 23rd of May for that. “That’s a great idea,” said Kate, and we all felt excited to start helping. Our teachers agreed and promised to help us with organising the event and making posters.

And the long-awaited day had finally arrived. On May 23rd, they went to the forest next to the school. The scene they encountered made them very upset. Why do people harm nature, which they live in and depend on? People had thrown their trash into the forest.

Kate and her friends immediately got to work and started picking up the litter. There were even pieces of broken glass on the ground. Their teacher said that broken glass is very dangerous for the forest.

Emma asked, “What kind of danger does it cause?”
The teacher replied, “Broken glass can act like a lens with sharp edges. By focusing sunlight on one point, it can heat up and eventually start a fire.” That’s why broken glass should never be thrown into the forest. Everyone was very surprised by what they heard.
At the end of the day, they returned to school with the happiness of having completed their mission. They told their friends what they had seen and thought about how cruel people can be to nature.

Yet this world belongs to all of us, and we must protect it together.

Next day when they got to school, they prepared slide show to present what they saw and did in the forest. They presented the terrible scene they saw in the forest. People treated the environment very badly. In the following days, they noticed their friends were more careful about cleaning the school, not leaving the taps open and saving electricity.

They realized this world is ours and we should take action about sustainability and leave a clean world to next generations. Change has started at school and will spread throughout the world.

“Any more questions?” the teacher asked.

“I have a question.” I said.

“Why when I go to the beach, I always find glasses and plastics? I mean, one day in summer I went there, and I saw someone trying to help a fish to get rid of a plastic it had in its body.”

“I know. Unfortunately, there are lots of reasons that cause trouble to the sea, its vegetation and animals. For example, factories, climate change, maritime traffic...”, the teacher replied.

“Is there something we could do to change that?”

“Well, I think we could do a Green Committee about it and organise actions that we could do to recycle the plastics, glasses, etc.”

“Oh, I know how the Green Committee should be called: "Swimming in plastic!” I said with enthusiasm.

Teacher stood in front of his classroom, holding a worn-out book with a blue cover. The students sat quietly, their eyes wide with curiosity. Today’s lesson was about something unusual yet very real — The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.T eacher began to read:

“Far away in the Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and California, floats a massive island — but it is not made of sand or palm trees. It is made of plastic. Millions of tons of discarded bottles, bags, fishing nets, and microplastics have gathered together, swirling in the ocean currents. This floating 'island' is larger than the country of Turkey. It is harmful to marine life, dangerous for birds, and it slowly breaks into smaller pieces that spread across the sea. Scientists and environmentalists are working hard to clean it up and prevent more plastic waste from reaching the ocean.”

The Sunny Forest

Once upon a time, there was a place called Sunny Forest, full of lush green trees and chirping birds. Right in the heart of the forest lived a curious little squirrel named Minik.

One morning, Minik woke up and noticed the weather was hotter than usual.

"Strange," he said. "It’s not supposed to be this warm during this season."

To find an answer, Minik went to Owl Dodo, the wise old owl of the forest.

"Owl Dodo," he asked, "Why has the weather changed so much?"

Owl Dodo shook his head and replied,

"It’s because of climate change, Minik. People drive too many cars, cut down forests, and pollute the air with factories. This ruins the balance of the Earth."

Minik looked worried. "Is there anything we can do?"

# data[].attributes.body
I was shocked to learn something like this. After this conversation, we made further research about this topic with my friends Emily, Lily  and Max. As we searched we saw that it looks like big island made of trash. Most of it was made of fishing nets. It threatens marine life. For example loggerhead turtles think of the plastic bags as jellyfish and eat them. Seals and other mammals also get stuck in the nets and drown there.

As we saw the pictures, we got more and more upset. We thought about what can be done and decided on a project ‘non-plastic pact’. We prepared posters about how we can reduce the use of plastic at our school and homes. We found some alternatives to plastics we use and shared it with our friends.

# data[].attributes.body
Owl Dodo replied. ' Yes, we can send letters to people. ' They found papers and started writing 'Dear people, the things you use ruin the air we breathe, the factories you work has ruined our waters, the pollution you have made ruined our habitats. If you don't take action, all of us will be harmed. As animals, we are ready to do everything we can.

They sent the letters with pigeons and started to wait for answers. Day by day there were worse news coming from other animals. for example Minik's friend polar fox Bombo came to visit the forest. He told about the melting glaciers , and their habitats are in danger. And his other friend ChiChi the camel told African savannahs havent had rain for a long time , so they had to immigrate in large numbers.

Minik and his friends were very upset by the news they had received. They gathered under the big oak tree in the forest.

“We have to do something,” said Minik. “We can’t just sit and listen to bad news!”

Big Ear the rabbit perked up his ears. “Maybe all the animals in the forest can come together and make a plan. We can raise our voices together.”

The next day, a big meeting was held in the forest. Owl Dodo, Fox Bombo, Camel ChiChi and many other animals came together. Each one shared the changes happening in their own habitat. They were all worried because nature’s balance was being disrupted.

At the end of the meeting, the animals made a decision. Letters would be sent to animals on all continents, each one describing the problems they faced and calling on humans:
“Let’s protect nature together!”

The letters were tied with colorful ribbons, and the pigeons once again soared into the sky. This time, they were full of hope.

Minik thought to himself, “I hope the humans will hear us.”
