We live in a wonderful world, full of life, colour and beauty, but in recent years your world has been devastated by hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and droughts. Climate change would destroy the world we are living. A scientist has predicted that within fifty years many parts of the world would be under water. We can prevent this if we all work together with a change in our few simple choices. There is still time to save our world.
