I think my wish for the planet is for the all the poachers to notice how much they are destructing the world and actually change and help save the animals in the world.

Thanks Youssef!One way to help is to try get the word out to the rest of the world by telling people about the the trouble that our underwater world is in.Remember what we learned from the Shark water dvd.Allot of people think sharks are vicious killers ,but don't really realise that they are a valuable part of our earth's ecosystems.Make sure you help by telling them the truth!Looking forward to see you for the open water dives!

The ecosystems that make up our planet biosphere are so delicate. All organisms are important to each other. I wish that our planet will continue to be able to sustain a high quality of life for all living things. I hope that my students and my children have a healthy planet to live on. I hope that they continue to take steps to ensure future generations also have a clean and safe environment to live in. For those that have not already seen it please watch "An Inconvenient Truth" You can buy it from Virgin or you can probably download it. For those who have already seen it, watch it again!
Peace!

My wish for our planet is firstly for everyone to stop and appreciate what an amazing planet we have, with a warm sun and a safe and secure home. Our planet is everything to us and without it life wouldn't be the same. If everyone picked up one piece of garbage each and threw their waste away we would have an even safer cleaner home to live in. :)

I wish to have a greener planet. There are many things we can do to support this planet and the things causing harm to it.
A few of them include;having less toxic waste from factories affecting marine life, controlling air pollution by reducing carbon emmisions from factories, by depending more on natural gas than on petrol chemicals, and by re-ducing, re-using, and re--cycling! If we try to follow some of these ways, there may be improvements in the way our planet is now and a better life for the future!

My wish for our planet is to have a more nature friendly place.
I think nature is the most beautiful thing in the world and if people took the time to take a good look at it maybe they wouldn't mis treat it the way they do.
I hope in the future our planet will be greener and better cared for.
I'd also like people to recycle more!
:D

My wish for the planet would probably be for people to stop polluting it.
Thats what's basically ruining the planet so it would be nice if there was no pollution or global warming.
People should start being more eco-friendly =]

I think my wish for the planet is for all the poeple killing the whales should stop. They need to notice how much they are making more whales die because of food. We need to actually help and save the animals in the world.

My wish for our planet is for people to stop polluting and stop global warming. We have a beautiful planet and it is the only one we have and we have to take good care of it. I wish that we could keep our planet clean and green for future generations to enjoy. I think the Earth gives us so much that it is time for us to give something back and take care of this it! That way we can all have a better, greener place to live in.

hhmmm...... i wish that everyone would notice how much we are destroying the earth and, therefore, ourselves. i also wish that poachers would see how much their messing up the ecosystem which can greatly affect everything in the world.
