"Kindness Boomerang"

My drawing is about a kindness boomerang. A kindness boomerang is when someone does something kind to another person, and the person pay forward the kindness to someone else, until the kindness comes back to the first person. Just like a boomerang, when you throw it, it will come back to you. In my drawing, I have arrows showing ohw the love passes around the world. I think a kindness boomerang can send kindness all over the world and this will change the world.

"Save the Rainforest!"

We can save the Amazon rainforest and change the world by raising awareness that many rainforests like this one are being burned down to make land for houses and farms. In the left, there is a healthy rainforest, with animals like capybara, amazon river dolphin, Jesus lizard, giant anteater, jaguar, sloth, and anaconda. On the right is a burning rainforest, with lots of fire and smoke, toppled trees, and burning wood. There are only a few trees still standing. We have to raise awareness that many rainforests being burned down, and save the trees and animals in them.

"Crying help for Polars' Igloo"

This summer I saw and article that heavy rain fell in Greenland instead of snow which was the first time on record. It melted lots of ice on the Greenland Sumit and may cause a rise in sea level and I'm worries about it because it will affect all creatures' life on the earth as well. Scientist said it was becuase of global warming.  I can help the world by trying to stop or generate less carbon dioxide, which is causing global warming. It's also melting the ice in the artic and Antartica. If we don't do something, polar bears will become extinct because they hunt seals resting on the ice. If there is not ice, the polar bears will not survive.

"Mother Nature "

I can change the world by saving the environment. With my own hands I can protect the crops, water, and meadows in my environment. Every second a drop of water or a crumb of food is wasted.

"My Part In The World"

My Poetry ‘My Part in the World’ is about how I feel I can change the world. It is a rhyming poem about how
we can keep our earth clean and green, share kindness, help others without a fight, and how small ideas and
thoughts can change a whole world. This is our world, and we can do the right things. If a little 8‐year‐old like
me can try to make a big difference, then all others can do the same too. We can all do our part together in
the world to make a change!

I would change the world by a small step…by riding my bike to places more often.
