It is being poisioned with everything we put in the ocean and the ground and soon we will not be able to grow things or have clean water. ( Sean Conta) When I grow up I wish that the world will be nice and clean for my kids. I know that we can't clean it 100% but maybe we can clean it a little bit. Every second pollution gets worse.

And in view of the environment I think we should protect forests and keep their inhabitants in safe numbers. (Marty Purdue) If I could change the world I would show people that no one organization can save our enviorment. The only way anything will happen is if we make a universal effort to save our battered world. But more than that I would like to tell the world that it's not our fault completly . (Ted Murena) My name is Peter Mittelholzer and I'd like to share my views on how I want the world to be when I grow older. I don't know about you, but where I live here in Wilton, Connecticut there are many trees and wild animals everywhere. It's a realy cool place to live because it's basically a clean place, and you can play outside in the woods and go swimming in rivers. When I'm older I want to be able to live in a place like Wilton. If we keep polluting and chopping down trees, the whole environment will be devastated. I think that we should stop thinking about ourselves and start thinking about the future. This way our children and their children can have nice places to live and grow up. (Peter Mittelholzer) My name is Alissa Heindel. Right now the world is in pretty good condition. Now people are deciding to cut down alot of trees and pollute the air. If this keeps up then soon the enviroment will be ruined. I hope people notice that they are destroying our enviroment and soon it will become a polluted and destroied planet (Alissa Heindel) Hi, my name is Steve Graybill. I'm sopposed to talk about what I want the world to be like when I grow up. I would like the world not to be polluted.

I would also like the world to be like in the future would to be that the world would have better places for kids to grow up in so that the kids wouldn't have to fight just to get home and have a snack. And the last thing would be that the world shouldn't have DRUGS or AIDS. {Steve Graybill} Hi my name is Jason Smith. I am in seventh grade.

(Justin Wensek 13) If I could change the world I would show people that no one organization can save our enviorment. The only way anything will happen is if we make a universal effort to save our battered world. But more than that I would like to tell the world that it's not our fault completly .

Food and shelter for the poor. And I would like there to be less violence in the world when I grow up. (Melanie Sieger) No war, no pollution. Just to live in peace and harmony. Make everybody be thankful you're living on this earth. (Grace Reed) No trees to be cut down and the pollution to stop. We don't treat each other right.

That way I can breath clean air. (Miranda Smith) When I grow up if I don't have a family and I have spare time, I would go around my neighborhood and collect newspapers and cans.

Also no drugs because if people take drugs they will probably start stealing to get money to buy them and if they don't do that they may kill the person selling the drugs to them to get them free. I want there to be no pollution and no wars. (Melissa Cotrell) I want the world to have more peace and no nuclear weapons. (Mark Galeos) I want the world to be more loving and no violence.

I want our schools to be drug free so kids will learn and not get hooked up on drugs. I will to make our world a better and I hope you will too. (Jay Cronin) The things I'd like to see changed in the world is the drug problem that is sweeping over the country. This problem has a hold on our country and we need to do something about it. Another problem is the middle east crisis and if we also don't do something about it we will be in trouble. (Melissa Dryburg) I want to improve the world by only having school four days a week and raising teacher salaries. I'd also like to clean the world to a liveable state.

I want to give people a chance to relax and feel good. Music is the way in which I will do this. Music can be powerful and I intend to use it in a positive and enchanting manner. I will try my hardest to get people to come and listen to enjoy classical, jazz, and other kinds of music. I want the world to let my kids be able to live a better life than any of us did. I hope the future will bring much more happiness, peace, and lovethan any children, now and in the past, has experienced.

I want the world to advance and grow in the area of technology, but at the same time I want the world to do so in a clean, non-polluting way. (Janet Regal) I want everyone to have a decent, well paying job. As for education, I would probably keep the law the way it is now: If you drop out of school, you lose your liscense.

There would be tighter laws, and if you litter there would be a fine.(Erin Rittland) I want world peace and a spotless environment. I wantmy children to see a manatee. I want to make a difference.
