In this case, Żiblu, is an environmental hero.

Our poem is comprised of 10 quatrain stanzas, each with verses of irregular length. In each stanza, the tree is personified and is also a synecdoche; as it represents the entirety of our environment, and the stanzas respectively tackle a different benefit given to us by trees, such as shade, fruit, and the encompassing of birds and other wildlife. In addition, all stanzas make sure to ask Why?, and Did you forget? this is in order to evoke a feeling of guilt, and sympathy, although the opening stanza essentially summarizes all of the trees’ points and messages, in order to avoid beating around the Bush and getting the point. In the final 2 stanzas; the tone of the poem takes a pivotal shift, as this time the tree is offering a humble solution to the problems faced, which is to make peace with nature rather than destroy.

Global warming is the greatest threat known to humankind. Are we too late to make a change? Our ignorance and our silence are evident in our daily lives. Ice sheets and glaciers are shrinking, temperatures are rising, and species are in danger. We increase the earth’s temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and farming livestock. This leads to more significant amounts of greenhouse gases, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming. According to NASA, without significant action, global temperature is on track to rise by 2.5 °C to 4.5 °C (4.5 °F to 8 °F) by 2100. Abraham Lincoln said, “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” Our responsibility is to do everything we can to protect and save the planet.

As we were walking in the countryside, we were caught by an amazing sight of tens of butterflies flying around this flowery bush. It is a quite a rare sight nowadays to see a butterfly due to lack of green areas in the city or village so seeing tens altogether was quite a blessing. Butterflies are great for plants because their bodies collect pollen and carry it to other plants. This helps fruits, vegetables and flowers to produce new seeds. This little fellow was so busy doing his job that he wasn’t bothered by the interruption at all.

A no-longer-so-new kind of tree … a new alien species that we can’t seem to be able to get rid of any time soon. The Greed Tree. Soon there will be more of the Greed Tree than the Natural Trees.

The EkoSkola committee through the Litter Less Campaign, YRE and LEAF started to emphasize the need to separate waste in our school. All classes have been given an organic bin, a recyclable waste bin, and a general waste bin. Students are being encouraged to separate waste in these bins. Furthermore, different flashcards and visuals were given out to all classes to continue to strengthen the need to separate waste correctly. With this project, our school is giving the opportunity and knowledge to the students and continuing in helping the environment around us.
