EARTH IN PERIL: children confront climate change

This month, HBO in collaboration with New York City's American Museum of Natural History, will air the new documentary, Saving My Tomorrow. Scientists representing the museum discuss how temperature change affects life on Planet Earth, but the majority of voices are those of children,
Their words cry out for universal action to prevent them from inheriting what they believe is a dying planet in desperate need of healing.

"We need to know the truth, because adults clearly aren't doing  enough to stop this" -Zoe, age 12
"We do more damage to the planet than we think".   -Peri, age 9
"We don't have time to grow up before becoming an activist".   - Ta'Kaiya, age 12
"Get your parents involved". - Teakahla, age 11

Children are more informed now than ever before.  Schools offer classes on ecology, the enviroment, global warming and climate change. Disasters are instant news, constantly streaming through digital media.  Kids are aware that they need adults to work with them to keep Earth Habitable.

So for this week's homework  I thing a good idea is to draw and paint art about the earth or to show how to enjoy earth's bounty and to write the why of their art work. I will be posting their work on this blog.

Here are some photos of the past weeks Fish contest  and  'Don't mess with Texas contest'
