This email from a first-grader at Brooklyn's PS 58 came in this weekend:Dear Colin,
We have to work harder the
ice is melting and some people believe that in fifty years a few places
are gonna be flooded alot. I want to meet you. I like what you are
doing. I want to ask you a question: Can you help us by making posters
and hanging them places so people will know more about pollution and
global warming? We don't eat McDonalds food because it is unhealthy and
the food is not homemade. It is made from a factory and I don't like
it. I don't eat Dunkin Donuts unless I didn't do it on the rest of the
week. It just opened in my neighborhood and it is really hard to not
eat there because even though the donuts come from a factory they
taste good. And I usually don't eat it because my mom forgets her
wallet or I don't want to. I like to make bird feeders with toilet
paper rolls and peanut butter and birdseeds and I like to make bird
puppets out of toilet paper rolls too. And we only use recycled toilet
paper and paper towels and kleenex. Almost my whole school is trying
to stop global warming. It seems like the only things that open are
Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins and McDonalds.
Love, Olive
