Gifted kids are different individuals. They are
those who can see different things and solve the
problem in their own way. Gifted kids can help
fight against poverty and world hunger. They can
also work to protect and keep the environment
clean as well as defend childrens rights to a
healthy planet.
This may sound impossible but it isnt really. It
can be started by doing simple things at home,
then at school and finally at a community level.
Gifted kids like you and me can save the
community by helping in various ways. We can
all do simple things like watering plants that
give us fresh air, collecting donations for animals
in need or extinction and recycling the things that
we dont need any more.
This may sound simple but its actually a very
important step to reducing the amount of the
Earths resources that we use up every day. If we
can help the planet, then we are really working
towards guaranteeing that our future is better.
So what can gifted kids do again? Well, they
can save water by turning off the tap while
brushing their teeth and not taking long baths,
but rather short showers. They can save the
electricity by turning the lights off when they are
not in a room. They can save the environment by
not burning trees. They can save the animals by
giving them shelter. In addition, they can save
mother Earth by not dumping garbage into the
sea. In short, they can change their habits and become environmentally friendly. And who
knows perhaps they can even persuade adults to do the same!
