Writing Project

 

Fossil hunters discover the fossilized imprint of your footprints. From the print they can tell how much you weigh, how tall you are, whether you were a boy or a girl, and how fast you were walking. Everything else, however, will be a mystery.

But there is so much more to you!

If you could leave a written record, what else would you want them to know about you?

Write it down! Then email it to us here at Earth's Kids. Your response will be published right here on the world wide web where it can be read by people from all over the Earth!

Psst!
Here are some suggestions for what to write about:

• Name:
   

• What you're really good at:
   

• Something you've done to help others:
   

• What you dream of doing with your life:

   

• Other: (ideas you'd like to share with others, interesting experiences you've had, what makes you really happy, etc....

   

  We look forward to hearing about the imprint you are making here on Earth....

Ever since the discovery of the first dinosaur fossils, human beings have wondered about these amazing creatures who inhabited Earth so long ago. But because they are extinct,, there is much that will remain a mystery-- what colors they were, how their skin felt, what they looked like as they ran, even how they treated each other and their babies. We can only wonder and imagine..

Now, think about all the amazing creatures that inhabit the Earth right now. In fact, think about your fellow humans-- even yourself! Like the dinosaurs, the wondrous creatures that inhabit the Earth right now can only thrive and survive as long as their habitat supports them -- as long as there is enough food, clean air, water, shelter, and etc. Right now, as humans, we have the choice to change how we are living. Ask yourself what changes you could make to your lifestyle that would benefit the Earth.

Could you try a few of these?:

Harness your inner creativity and wisdom.

Nurture your spiritual life.

Money talks -- don't buy from companies who hurt the Earth..

Recycle your cans, bottles, plastic containers, and paper products.

 
Eat less animal food (meat, milk,, etc.), & eat more plant food (soy burgers, beans, etc.) More.

 
Limit your family's use of toxic cleaning products, pesticides, & weed killer

Plant a tree. Or a garden. Become a friend to nature.

Reduce car use by walking, biking, rollerblading, and planning (try to do many errands in one car trip, rather than taking separate trips for each thing).

Save electricity by turning off lights, TV., air conditioning when not needed.

right now, and how to help! 

Already do some of these?  Great!  Ready to try a little bit more?  Even better!

Can't do it all? Join the club! Just try to do what you can. When that becomes old hat, try to do just a little bit more. It's better to change a little at a time, than to give up and ignore the problem entirely. Because if we don't change how we live, and how we treat the Earth, we -- and many other creatures on the Earth -- just may go the way of the dinosaurs.
