Last year I completed a report for my teacher about the effects of deforestation on the world. I was absolutely shocked at how harmful this was and I knew I had to do something to try to change this. I brainstormed with my mom and some other kids about ways to make a difference. We started making items that are sold to raise money to plant trees. The idea really took off and I realized how many people had no idea that our precious forests were being destroyed and how it was changing the Earth in so many ways. I helped create a kit to help teachers teach other kids about this issue.
