Our world in 100 years.

Our world in 100 years

Over the past hundred years our  land has been getting trashed. Turned into a desolate wasteland. We chose to dump waste in the rivers and throw toilet paper on houses and now look where it has got us.

Whenever I wander around looking for a tree to climb all I see is stick like figuress with their souls ripped out and cold grey leaves flutter in the wind. I’m going to make an underground hut and I dig up the mother load of rubbish. Its just like cleaning a long drop. When I go elling I feel the line tugging in my hands but when I pull it up and all I have got is a family size can of baked beans.

I'm walking around and all I hear is “a-choo, ble-choo, cough, cough, cough” and it's all because of those stinking rats.Thats the consequences though. Now whenever I knock on my friend's door, even my parents door all I get is ‘go away nobodys home’ and its all because they are too busy hogging all their leftover food and water.

Sometimes I wish this never happened, all the hurt feelings, arguments going on and violence. I just want it to stop. Would you like to live in this dump? If you don't you need to make a change.

The sea turtles

The Turtles

The sea turtles have lived for over 150,000,000 years.

Thats through the jurassic “WOW”. To begin the lifecycle process female turtles have to lay leathery eggs. The turtle lays 1000 eggs and Only 800 hatch. The ones that hatch dig up to the surface to get to the ocean. Sea turtles have to face fierce predators and challenges like crabs pelicans and many more.

Then the sea turtles are babies and they are the size of your palm. The next stage of the life cycle is the turtles next type of predators, Fish sharks, And more.

Sea turtles have to hide under floating bits of seaweed. Finally when the turtles are old enough for breeding age they come back to land to continue the life cycle.

After all that the sea turtles just go on and on.
