Save Life on Earth

Earth,home to countless plants and animals for millions of years,has an uncertain future.

How many of us are aware that...
• 130,000 square kilometres of forest disappear every year
• around 25,000 trees are cut down each day just to make toilet paper
• each day,around 150 to 200 species of plants and animals become extinct-nearly 1,000 times the natural rate of extinction
• over 1 million animals are killed by ocean pollution each year
• 1 billion people don't have clean drinking water
• a plastic bottle can take 450 years to break down
• the ice caps are more than 50%thinner than they were 40 years ago

If we do not change our ways,we are at risk of ruining our planet and destroying many more plants and animals.Some day in the future,there may be no tigers,no horses,no butterflies,no dolphins and no whales;nor will there be any trees or flowers.All of these things will be gone.And we will be gone,too.

Time is running out.Our planet needs our help.

It's up to us to decide together what happens next.
