(A story written by a Year 5 student from Robert Louis Stevenson Primary School, Samoa.)

The Earth is turning into a rubbish tin because people are throwing junk, food and toys all over the world. The Earth is polluted with junk. We can make the Earth better if we pick up our rubbish and put it into bins instead of leaving it lying around.

Look at the paradise surrounding you. Would you like it if this huge garden was destroyed? I wouldn't want the garden we've lived in for so many years destroyed.

Our sea is also being polluted by oil and rubbish from factories. It is also being destroyed by dynamite when people fish the lazy way. And what if the air is destroyed by gas and pollution? The animals and people would be gone and it was humans who threw their junk on the ground that caused it!

I have only one mesage to say and I hope that everyone else thinks the same thing.

"Save our Earth!"
