Saving the Antarctic

 Help This Little Guy Out!


This is Petey the Penguin and he and his friends are having a difficult time finding food down in his cold home of Antarctica. Petey looks under ice sheets for a little critter called krill. Krill are what Pete and his friends eat. But Petey and his friends are in trouble, because those ice sheets that are home to their food are melting. Now that their ice sheets are melting, they have to travel far enough to find another ice sheet that contains their food. Which can end up being really tiring for Petey and his friends. The air we breathe is becoming hotter because of factory smoke being released into the air. Those dark grey clouds are causing the air to become hotter, and the air getting hotter is defined as global warming. Which is a form of climate change. Petey does not want the weather to warm up, he wants it to stay freezing cold down in Antarctica the way he likes it. For now Petey is okay, but he knows that it will become a threatening problem to him and the rest of his penguin friends. They need help and word to spread that this will be a problem and it needs to be fixed before something really bad happens. Even though the Penguins do eat other things like fish and others critters. It still ends up coming back to the plankton that live under those ice sheets which fish and the other critters feed on.


Climate change is a problem that we're all facing and will have to deal with. What we need to do is close down those factories that are creating that disgusting black smoke and sending it into the air, and replace them with better and cleaner energy sources. The problem is those factories are the cheapest way to create energy and the cleaner ways cost a lot more money. The good thing is that people are starting to see that these factories are causing problems and we need to switch. They are coming up with new sources and how they are going to use them in the future. Another way we can save Petey and ourselves is to consume less food. We cannot waste the food that we get. We need to buy less and get just enough that we know will fill us up and not make us throw any food away. So next time you are going to eat, don't put food on your plate if you won't end up eating it. 


So, whenever you see those dark clouds coming from a factory think about Petey and his friends down in Antarctica. When you are growing up, spread the word about the Climate change problem and what you can do to consume less energy and use less of that factory energy. Spread your ideas to people and get them to save energy and help Petey with his problem. Hopefully by consuming less energy, when we eventually get rid of factory energy. There won't be as much energy used and that much factory smoke produced that will melt the ice in Antarctica so much that it will endanger Petey and the penguins and other species.
