Hi everyone,
I wrote this poem about the future of the environment. I believe that the future generation will know how to look after the planet because we are learning about how to do that now. I think that all of the bad things that humans have done to the planet, like pollution and global warming, are going to get better and heal if we all look after our environment.
From, 
Ava
