Robyn – DAY 3
Close your eyes for a moment.
Imagine waking not to the sweet chirps of birds, but to desperate gasps—as your lungs strain against the thick, poisonous air.
Envision yourself walking not on soft grass, but on cracked, parched earth that splinters beneath your feet like fragile glass.
Picture yourself reaching for water—a single droplet, so ethereal and precious, just within sight but out of reach.
Food, rationed like medicine—tightly controlled, barely enough to survive.
This isn’t a nightmare. This isn’t a dystopian film.
This, my fellow peers and esteemed teachers, is the future we’re creating with every carbon-emitting choice we make today.
Climate change might seem like just a background issue—something normal, something distant.
But in a few years, it may be the one thing we regret not acting on when we still had the chance.
Our planet—our shared home—stands on the edge of humanity’s cliff.
A cliff of catastrophe.
A cataclysmic abyss from which there will be no return.
Today, I speak to you not just as a classmate, but as a voice for the voiceless—
The generation yet to be born, who deserve a world that is not crumbling, but thriving.
A world that is not poisoned, but protected.
A sustainable sanctuary.
The question is: Will we give it to them?
Consider, for a moment, the world that awaits us.
Scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predict that without immediate action, our oceans—once teeming with vibrant coral gardens and graceful marine choreography—will become acidic wastelands where calcium-dependent creatures dissolve in slow, excruciating deaths.
Those same waters, which cradled life from its first cellular stirrings, will rise by up to one meter by 2100—drowning coastal cities beneath merciless waves, erasing centuries of human achievement and displacing hundreds of millions of climate refugees.
Is this the inheritance we wish to leave?
Is this the legacy we choose to create?
Is this the future we dare call progress?
Here in Australia, our beloved bushlands—once alive with the rustle of eucalyptus leaves and the laugh of kookaburras—are transformed each summer into hellscapes.
Flames leap from crown to crown with terrifying velocity. The very air shimmers with heat so intense, it creates its own weather systems.
Wildlife, trapped and panicked, flee until exhaustion claims them—or fire consumes them—leaving behind the acrid stench of charred fur and the deafening silence of extinction.
We saw this reality in 2019–2020, when three billion animals were incinerated or died from starvation after their habitats were reduced to smouldering ash.
Each cinder that rose from those fires carried skyward the ashes of our indifference.
Each plume of smoke—a dark monument to our collective failure.
But it doesn’t have to end this way.
We are not powerless witnesses to an inevitable fate—we are the architects of the future.
The same hands that have damaged this earth can now begin to heal it.
The same minds that engineered convenience at the cost of nature can now innovate toward sustainability.
And the same voices that once remained silent… can now rise in unified defiance.
Change doesn’t begin with global summits or billion-dollar policies.
It begins here—in classrooms, in conversations, in choices.
Every reusable bag.
Every plant-based meal.
Every push for renewable energy.
Every time we choose to learn, to speak up, to act—we push the planet one step further from the edge.
You don’t have to be a scientist to care.
You don’t have to be a world leader to lead.
You just have to be brave enough to believe that this world—our only world—is worth fighting for.
So I ask you once more:
Will we leave behind a legacy of apathy?
Or rise to become the generation that turned things around?
Let history remember us not as the ones who watched it all burn—
—but as the ones who stood up, spoke out, and sparked change.
Let us pose as testaments in the history books.
Let us be resilient role models for the generations, yet to come.
Because the future is not written yet.
And together—we can definitely write a better one.

Imagine this, a world full of… no nature. Picture yourself desperately scavenging for clean water, like your life depends on it. This will be an outcome if we don’t care for our planet. You will not hear cicadas chirping on a warm summer evening, but your merciless cries for help. It’s now or never.
Mother Nature is our home, our land, our environment. How many more years do we have to endure freezing winters and burning summers? How many more animals and plants will disappear from the face of the earth? How many more trees do we have to chop down? Let us encourage product manufacturing companies to steer away from making plastic packaging but instead focus on renewable paper resources. Think about it. It’s now or never.
This is not a reminder, but a warning. A warning for us to stop burning coals. A warning for us to stop over-fishing. A warning for us to stop climate change. Is this the life you want? A world where the sun is blazing like a thousand fires? It’s now or never.
You won’t see flowers blooming, but trees withering. You won’t see bees collecting pollen, but emotionless faces. Your future is at stake. Your life is at risk. Your destiny will die if we don’t start now. Is this the legacy you want to pass down, with generations to come? It’s now or never.
Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what your are capable of. We can do this together. Together we can save climate change. Not as a group, but as a community. Opportunities do not happen overnight, but when you create them Thank you.

Day 3 Writing homework
Close your eyes for a moment my fellow teachers and peers, imagine walking into a mesmerising scene of birds chirping and the ocean waves slowly drifting towards the sand. Now, open your eyes to the world whereas in the future, you won’t have to close your eyes but have to worry about getting gasps of clean air. This is not a fiction story, but will soon be a reality with the amount of carbon-emitting gases we are choosing to feed our planet.
Our planet – our mutual home is facing catastrophic changes that we are choosing to make. How many warnings do us tedious humans need to face until we finally get an emergency, killing our profound earth? How many scorching summers which will cremate us on the spot will we have to face? How many animals must take excruciating deaths for our very actions? These are only minor issues and if we don’t manage what we feed the earth there will be many colossal consequences. The later generations shouldn’t have to face any sort of atrocities that we create.
Professor Poopeypants from the climate change expert team has said “ If we keep emitting and exposing detrimental gases, by 2030 our sun will become more than 30 percent more hot.” If I am not capable of asking you guys to slowly get rid of climate change then surely Professor Poopeypants will. It is imperative we get rid of climate change for a better living place for all creatures, animals and humans. Furthermore, over 500 species of animals have devastatingly passed away because of our egocentric actions. It’s crucial to meet the expectations to save our earth otherwise the consequences will be lamentable.
As for the reasons I have listed, I should not have to say no more. We must save the earth one way or another, even if it’s using solar energy instead of things like coal or oil. We can take public transport and in the end our reward will be that we can live in peace not having to live in the scorching sun or having our animals killed because of our foolish actions.

MY WRITING:
Life, at its core, is a beautiful haven — a place where lakes are pristine, forests are lush and full of life, and the incessant sky looming above us is a natural, clear-blue beauty. Now, let us answer this: What would we do if this welcoming asylum were gone? What would happen when gardens that were previously flourishing were now brittle and brown, and the sun that once gave warmth was now a deadly ray that parched our land? What would happen when water has been reduced to mere droplets, and our once-abundant life, from bees swirling around to trees brushing and dancing against the gentle wind, has only faded into a dream?
What would we do, all stranded in a harsh, unforgiving environment?
What would we do when the nature that had once supported us had disappeared?
What would we do, alone, with little to survive on?
Now hold the picture in your head for a moment. It feels like a nightmare, right? Well, I can guarantee you, this isn’t just a bad dream, it will be the future of OUR, and I mean OUR beautiful planet if we do not take action immediately.
Climate change isn’t just a mere rumour; it’s real, and it’s affecting us right now. The signs are everywhere. Glaciers are melting, wildlife is vanishing, crops are failing, and temperatures are rising to an extreme amount. Time is ticking, and if we don’t take action now, then not only will our planet suffer, but we will too. This isn’t a distant threat, but a present crisis that will cause irreversible damage to our environment if we don’t act fast.
But it’s not too late. Our beautiful planet can still be saved, but only if we act boldly and quickly. We need to protect our ecosystems. We need to stop burning fossil fuels. We need to stop being unsustainable. And we need to change our habits.
We have an opportunity to save our environment, and to help the planet we cherish. So please, I don’t just ask you, I urge you — we must act together, as a community. The future of the world is in our grasp, and every decision and action, no matter how small it is, can make a big difference. I plead with you to join me in making a change. I plead with you to be part of this movement, to take responsibility, and ensure a sustainable future for all of us. Let us stand united for the planet, for generations to come, and for the earth we call home.
Thank you for your time.

MY PARAGRAPH (bc i do not have time for full writing):
Fellow teachers and peers, consider the world around us , the warmth of the sun, the rustling leaves. This delicate balance is threatened by climate change. The science is clear, our planet is changing rapidly. We are slowly harming our home, leading to more severe weather and environmental instability. Can we, in good conscience, stand idly by as our world deteriorates? Ignoring this is like being on a sinking ship and admiring the decor. However, we have the ability and the responsibility to act. Let us choose action over inaction, and protect this planet for future generations. Let us strive to be the responsible guardians our Earth needs, ensuring a healthy future for all.
Hi there! Thank you for submitting your work! However, we noticed that your piece is a bit short. To give you the most helpful feedback, could you please elaborate on your ideas and provide more details? Also, try to aim for at least 500 words. You got this!

Cibi – DAY 3
Picture this: You and your family flew all the way to Queensland to see the Great Barrier Reef, expecting to see vibrant corals and marine animals under a warm, crystal-clear sea shimmering in the sunlight, only to arrive and see murky waters and bleached coral. Instead of a thriving ecosystem, corals die and many sea animals lose their habitats, leaving the once flourishing reef barren and lifeless. This is a true story. It’s not something that I’ve just made up for the purpose of Earth Day. This is something I, along with many other Australians and tourists, have experienced. My fellow students and appreciated teachers, this is the effects of climate change and if we don’t change our lifestyles now, Earth will turn into a desolate wasteland, with every droplet of clean water being as valuable as gold – or perhaps, even more.
‘But what even is climate change?’ you may ask. Well, climate change isn’t just some random change in the weather. It is something that us humans have caused through the use of burning fossil fuels such as coal or gasoline to power our cars, homes, and factories. Every time we burn these fuels, we release carbon dioxide into the air, trapping the heat from the Sun’s UV rays in our atmosphere, and making our Earth hotter and hotter. This is the greenhouse effect. And that’s not all – we are also cutting down the trees that would normally absorb the carbon dioxide, making climate change even worse.
Climate change isn’t only affecting Australia. The bushlands in California are experiencing raging fires that tear apart the trees and leaves, killing the wildlife and many humans. Professor James from the Climate Change Research Department says “The world is getting hotter and hotter by the second. More than 12,000 people have died. Think about it. One of them could’ve been you. This is what happens if we don’t put an end to climate change. We need to act now.” Many countries across the globe suffer through severe droughts, heatwaves, hurricanes, flooding, and rising water levels. Climate change is affecting all of us. No matter where you live, if climate change isn’t stopped, the Earth isn’t the only thing that will have to endure the consequences. We will too.
So, are you going to take action? Or sit there and watch the destruction unfold? It is time we find a solution to climate change. Let us not be the generation that allows the hard work of our ancestors go to waste. Slowly but surely, we can build our way up to a better future. I implore all of you, teachers and students alike, to join me on a quest to restore our Earth, our home. I ask you to think before you act. Turn off lights when they aren’t being used. Reuse, reduce, recycle. Support eco-friendly brands. Tomorrow morning, I will bring tree seeds for you to bring home. Plant one in your garden before it is too late. We need to fight climate change. The future is watching. The future is waiting. The future is ours to determine.
