ENVIRONMENT
The days are cold, all over the world
The weeping gets louder
Yet others are sharing their sweet moments
Nobody turns around to realize
For the slow climate change cause.
The beauty of the planet is disappearing.
Just because of human activities
That contribute to emission into the air.

Extreme Hunger in Africa

They look like old women and men
But they are young as you and me
It is not that they want, but it is due to climate change
That has made the country ever so dry
No harvest for the last six years
All vegetation, and animals have died, there is famine on the land.

The rains have failed, rivers have dried up,
But it is all our fault
We cut down trees to make money
We reduce forests into bear land
Forgetting that the trees attract rain and retain moisture
They also act as sink as they suck the CO2 from the air.

Developed countries have invested in coal and fossil fuel mines
Industrial development and grid energy plants
Urban migration and over population
Septic emission into the natural water resources
All for want and greed regardless of the pollution results
Health hazards realized, loss of life, Tsunami and Katrina
Climate change that lead to Relief Food Aid
That takes millions of dollars every year

Why should we sit and watch our planet perish
Global warming effects cause more than drought
The ice melting increasing the sea water weight
Under sea earth quakes, strong wind, extreme heat, and floods
Drastic unpredictable weather changes that diminish the ecology
Don’t we have the abilities to change this?
We will either make up our minds to save our planet or to destroy
We have ONE World never to get another ONE
Let us calculate human activities that promote climate change
STOP GLOBAL WARMING, CALCULATE YOUR FOOTPRINTS
IT’S TIME
Its time
Time for us to come together
Time for us to join efforts
Time for us to avoid this fate
Why should we ignore this global warming?

We have eyes to see
Ears to hear
And brains to reason
But we don’t use them
Take caution my friend global warming is real
Its claiming is affecting the ecosystems and human life.

What can we do to save our planet
Stop tree cutting but in case we do
Plant two for every tree that is cut
Advocate global warming and climate change
Urge our leaders to make lows that protect our planet

Alternative energy is environment friendly
Wind is cost less and the sun shine is with us
Our air needs protection from
Motorized traffic, burning of fossil fuel septic emission.
They all contribute to global warming.
BE AWARE OF GLOBAL WARMING.

By Haggai Rashid 16 yeas Kinyui Boys High on Environment Conservation:-

Let us conserve our beautiful nature
That we we once given without measure
Let us take care of our ecology
And let us do it together

Let us not throw litter everywhere
So we can be clean wherever
Let us plant trees together
So we can live in good nature

Let us be proud of our nature
With such fascinating features
That brings tourists to promote economy.
And make wonderful pleasure

Nature is our treasure
That we share with pleasure
Where ever we go in search of sites
Near or far,there is pleasure

Our environment is a treasure to be conserved!

Poem by Sylvia Mwende 16 years Kitwii High School.

Water.

There is no life without water
To some it is in plenty
To others it is a rear source
To others it is an easy way to deposit waste

Men women and children depend on the available
Dam water,river water, springs, and ponds
They share with animals as it evaporates
By season there is plenty of water

But the climate change knows it all
The water sources are not forever
As the dry weather strikes
There is no dam water any more

Global warming dries them all
Leaving all living creature to suffer
When there is no one to rethink
How this water can be preserved.

Water conservation is important
