Saving the Plants

Plants have been on earth for millions of years (about 700 million years ago). They are all over the world. But in many places (including our school), people are hurting the plants.
Plants have been on earth for millions of years (about 700 million years ago). They are all over the world. But in many places (including our school), people are hurting the plants.

Some people help the plants. That is both good and bad. It is good because we replant lots of plants. It is bad because there shouldn't be plants that are hurt or dead everywhere.

There are a few reasons why you should help save the plants. One reason is that plants are alive just like humans are. If you hurt or kill a plant, you are hurting and killing living beings. Another reason is that plants are necessary for human survival. They take CO2 and turn it into oxygen (oxygen is very important for human survival). Also, wild animals depend on plants. If you are hurting plants everywhere, you are probably hurting some of your favorite animals.

Wild plants give you gifts by giving you food, and what do you do? Think about it. Have you been the one hurting and killing the plants or just treating them like unimportant stickers? Or are you the one who says thank you for nature's gifts, makes sure plants don't get stepped on, and notices people killing trees?

To help, you can make sure you or your friends are not stepping or hurting and killing plants. I hope you understand how important plants are to the world. Because people need to take care of plants.
