Dear students! Th world we live in is home not only to people like you and me. Insects, plants, animals, rivers and mountains are also parts of our Mother Earth. But, with every new invention, the planet "feels" worse and worse and, eventually, it becomes weaker and weaker. Factories and traffic produce fumes which are toxic and harm everything around. Some species of animals and birds become extinct. In this situation, we, humans, have lots of responsibilities, and one of them is to protect the environment and to keep it for the future generations. www.padlet.com will help you to create a presentation as your position in terms of the protection of the environment. Post the links to the presentations in the Comments below. Good Luck! Dear students!
