Our home

Story

"What a tired day!"- I breathed long when walking to home." Why are there too much homework?". Suddenly, I saw that there's a letter inside my postbox. "Who did send me this letter? There's no name? Why do they want to make me surprise? Is it mom or dad or my best friend?"- My mind just came around and around. Finally, I opened the letter.

"Dear Amelia,

Your day is probably tired, isn't it? However, I bet that my day is much worse than you. Why I know that? Because I'm your grand grand grandson. I watched your life happened day by day. Surprised, right? I know you certainly don't believe me now. You don't need to believe it, just read this letter and it's not a trick, ok?

First, I live in 2118, 100 years after when you live. Why I am writing this letter? In your time, maybe you have seen many people told that they want to have time-traveller so they would come to the future and live there. I swear that future is the worst destination that they have ever came to even when they will be able make a time- traveller. From all 14year that I've grown up, I live in a world that are really really dirty. Everywhere I go, there are just trash and trash. It's horrible. Just imagine all places you go, include famous destinations like Eiffel tower or the Statue of Liberty, they are full of trash. I don't know how they can throw trash in such high places like them but it's true. Moreover, Machu Picchu was "disappeared" some hours because trash were filled on, and surrounding them. Therefore,I hardly ever come out of my house. It's the cleanest place where I don't have to wear air-filter. It's such inconvenient.

Until now, I think you want to know the reasons for these problems. It's because of you! In fact, not just you, your friends, families, everyone you know and don't know have roles in that. Everyone now, of course not included bad people, are trying hard to change this world. Zero-waste life, trash-collected jobs,... When you're trying to learn, to have good jobs like doctors or teachers, we're trying to collecting trash, trying to clean this world. Is it really an evolution or devolution? Many people took flights to Mars for a better world. Nevertheless, some still here, on the Earth. We don't want to leave it, don't want to run away from our problem, we want to fix it because IT'S OUR HOME.

Let's clean it with me, not just for me, for you, but for all people, are generations from now to the future.

Love you,

Alex,

Your grand grand grandson"

I threw trash without thinking about the problems. I don't want my future children, grandchildren, grand grand grandchildren lived in trash. How bad am I! Thus, I shared this story with you, I hope you'll clean our home with me.
