You're probably wondering. What's a kid got to say about the earth and the situation it is in? Read on.

The Human race originated in Africa around 200,000 years ago. Yet in the very continent our species came from has people dying from hunger, cholera, diarrhea, HIV AIDS every day. Our race has done more harm to this planet than any other living being ever to exist, so is it only fair that we are suffering the way we are? For millenia the human race has been spreading his territory, expanding his sphere of influence and the extent of the ruin HE has masterminded.

We mine coal from the depths, dredge fish from the sea, pump oil from wells, burn fuel for energy, and hunt beasts for food. All our activities are placing more and more burden on the weakening shoulders of the earth. There will come the day when Mother Earth will no longer be able to carry us. It is only recently that our kind has come to know that we are biting the hand that feeds us; besieging our own home. And now, it seems like the Earth and the Animal Kingdom, that we and those before us have been oppressing, are inflicting their revenge upon us, with the earth throwing upon us calamity after calamity from earthquakes to tsunamis to droughts and famines.

Like a caterpillar chewing at the leaf hiding it from the watchful eye of the hawk, we are burning a hole in the shield that protects us from the malignant rays of radiation from the sun. Rays of X, Y, and Gamma radiation can destroy crops and burn our skins are blocked by Ozone layer. Like everything else, we are going to chew that up too.

We've got to protect this planet. That's why Earth Day's here. But switching off lights ain't going to save us. We need to start small and simple. And we need to start quick because its not like we could go shopping on another planet, right?
