Narrator:
In a quiet corner of the universe, a debate is about to unfold. The Earth has called upon some of its most important inhabitants to discuss a growing problem.
Earth:
My dear friends, I called you here because I am in pain. Humans are harming me without realizing the consequences. Let's hear from everyone.
Tree:
(softly) I stand tall, giving shade and oxygen. Yet, they cut me down for paper and furniture. Don’t they see how vital I am?
Human:
(defensively) But we need wood to build homes! We plant new trees to replace you. Isn’t that enough?
Tree:
(sighs) It takes years for a sapling to grow into a tree. Cutting us faster than planting is not sustainable.
River:
(calmly) And what about me? I flow endlessly, providing water for all life. Yet, humans pollute me with chemicals and garbage.
Human:
(ashamed) I… I guess we take you for granted. But cleaning rivers is expensive and takes time.
Earth:
(firmly) Time is running out. If rivers dry up and forests vanish, humanity will suffer too.
Human:
(earnestly) I never thought about it that way. What can I do to help?
Tree:
Plant more trees, protect forests, and use paper wisely.
River:
Stop polluting and save water whenever you can.
Earth:
And remember, every small effort counts. Together, we can heal.
Narrator:
The Human nods, realizing the responsibility they hold. The debate ends, but the lessons remain. Will you, the audience, join this mission to save the Earth?
