We have cut down so many trees that there are now vast areas of waste land all over the world. As a result, farmers in part of Africa can’t grow enough to eat. In certain countries in Asia there is too little rice. Moreover, we do not take enough care of the countryside. Wild animals are quickly disappearing. For instance, tigers are rare in India now because we have killed too many for them to survice. However, it isn’t enough simply to talk about the problem. We must act now before it is too late to do anything about it. Join us now to save the earth. This is too important to ignore.
