I like all your ideas for how to save energy at school. Our school is very green! We use renewable energy from the sun for all our lights and computers.

I helped to clear rubbish off the beach last month just like Mei did. A local artist was there as well and he made an amazing statue out of some of the things we found. I think that’s a good way of showing people how much rubbish we throw away and how dangerous it is for sea animals.

I thought the story about the hurricane was really exciting. I hope I never have an experience like that. There were some floods in our town last year and that was quite scary. It rained so much that the water came over the top of the river and destroyed a lot of homes.

- How do you plan to help protect endangered animals in the future?
I will tell my friends about endangered animals and maybe adopt one to help protect them.
