 THE YEAR OF OUR PLANET

 

The year 2008 is the year of our planet Earth. It has been turning around the Sun for millions of years. Many leaving creatures have lived, they have arisen and died out. But about 5 million years ago something changed a lot. The first humans appeared on the planet. Quick development has started and now we are here in the year 2008. This year should be a big turning-point.

A human race has made a lot of mistakes, some of their consequences are yet invisible, others we can already feel. It is important that we learn something from that. We shouldn’t do any mistakes anymore. It seems that countries and their governments don’t want to take the responsibility to change things in a better, green adn Earth friendly way. The glaciers are melting, the hole in the ozone layer is getting bigger and bigger. And all we care about is what a queen eats, who the new president is, how good our neighbour’s car is. If we don’t take steps and change things, it will be too late. Maybe it already is. We need to do something about it. As individuals and as a community.

When you brush your teeth and the water flows, you should think about an eight-year African boy, who is dying slowly and in pain because of dehidration and malaria. The Third World is much closer than we think. If we continue like that the Third World will come to us. There won’t be wars for gas and oil, but for water and medicines. There are a lot of things we do wrong. We must not pollute the Earth anymore. We can recycle, use public transport and energy – saving light bulbs, walk or cycle, take showers instead of baths … We just have to make an effort. If I live green and you and your friends live green, we can change a lot. The world is standing on the young generation, and we are responsible for our planet.

The first thing we must do is to inform the children. Then we can take care of the planet. The consequences of wrong actions in the past result in natural catastrophes. Because of wrong acts too many people have already died. We must stop this massacre. We turn away when we see trash on the street and when we cut down rain forests. Another big threat for us are diseases. We can quickly lose control. Aids, malaria … Why does money go into the wrong hands, to wrong people and not for a better tomorrow? The economy cares only about money, just money. We must fight against that economy. There are some organisations which fight against wrong acts and they want to protect important things: Unesco, Natura 2000 … But it isn’t enough.

An old Indian proverb says: »We didn’t get our planet from our forefathers, we borrowed it from our grandchildren.« I think it is true and it’s good to follow. I am for the green future. What about you?

INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE EARTH

 

The Earth. One small planet. One Blue planet. The Earth is just one and only. Remember that. It’s our mother, father, sister, friend …

The Earth is not special just because of us. No! It’s hundred times more than that.

People are just small things. Very small! But we can do a lot of damage. It’s true that we are only a little part of the planet Earth, but what about our actions? There are seven milliard people on the Earth. And believe it or not: we are all merged in the same action. We are the biggest enemy of the Blue planet. And we are stupid. Trust me. Yes, it’s true, we destroy the Earth, but weaker the Earth is, weaker are we. So we destroy ourselves.

Our planet is a thing that has to be more respected, of course from us. We are so naive!

I’m sure that millions of people never think about the Earth and never ask themselves: »Does the Earth feel? Do I damage our planet? Am I a killer of the Earth?« All answers are: Yes!

Despite of the damage that we cause the Earth, we can’t destroy its beautiful nature. The Earth has (for now) beautiful woods, full of rare wild animals. And we have to mention the rainy woods. Those are special woods with tigers, parrots, pumas, snakes and rare plants. Cold places are important too, like Antarctic, where the silly penguins and the lovely seals  and of course the fuzzy white bears live. And there is also the deep, blue, cold Ocean, which covers almost all of the Earth.

There are some things that make the Earth so special. Let’s start realizing that our planet won’t be the same anymore. If we continue with wrong actions, we’ll destroy the Earth.

Our bad work is coming back to us, like earthquakes, tsunamis or volcanoes. I hope that we all know – this is our guilt too.

Earth, water, fire and air are four of the most important things for living. In the future we will have to be more careful, because the Earth is not the same as it was.

Inhabitants of the Earth have one more trouble. Because of  all the cars, smoke, industry and lots of chemicals, the water is less drinkable. And you know what? The same is happening with the air. We are in serious trouble! Because of to large use, the fuel is running short. So if that damage continues, we won’t be able to make a fire.

People, believe me! This is the right time for doing something good for our sweet Earth – so we need to reduce the pollution and protect our only Earth with our hearts!

When will we be aware of the damage that we cause, if not now – in the international year of the Earth!

DAS LEBEN IN EINEM FREMDEN LAND

 

Ich wurde in der Schweiz geboren. Dort lebte ich acht Jahre. In dieser Zeit erfur ich sehr viel über Slowenien und die Schweiz. Wir lebten im deutschsprachigen Teil der Schweiz, so lernte ich schon schnell die deutsche Sprache. In den deutschen Schulen in der Schweiz muss man auch nachmittags in die Schule. Um acht beginnt der Unterricht und dauert bis zwölf Uhr, dann geht man nach Hause, isst etwas und dann wieder zurück in die Schule. Um halb zwei beginnt der Unterricht und dauert bis drei Uhr (bis zur dritten Klasse, höhere Klassen bleiben auch bis nach fünf Uhr in der Schule). Mir gefiel der Unterricht am Nachmittag überhaupt nicht, denn ich musste jeden Tag zwischendurch nach Hause und für ein kleines Kind ist das zehr anstrengend, besonders wenn man weit weg wohnt.

Eigentlich gibt es in der Schweiz sehr viele Ausländer wie zum Beispiel Albaner und Italiener. Aber das ist nicht sehr schlimm, so lernt man viel über andere Kulturen und ihre Gewohnheiten kennen. Alls Kind freut man sich sehr auf Fasching, da kriegt man nämlich leckere Lutscher in Muscheln oder Fastnachtskuchen (er ist fast so wie ein großer Keks).

In Slowenien dagegen kann man mehr Spaß haben. Die Leute sind auch sehr nett, jedenfalls bei uns in Koprivna, und sie haben viel Zeit. Es fällt einem auch leichter die Natur zu bewundern. Es gibt mehr Natürliches zu sehen und die Schule dauert auc nicht zu lange. In Slowenien kan man das Essen in der Schule bestellen; das Pausenbrot und das Mittagessen, wogenen man in der Schweiz immer sein eigenes Essen mitbringen muss.

Und wenn man mich fragt, mir gefällt Slowenien jedenfalls besser.
