Life of Land Flaws Due to Humanity - Story and illustrations by Bella Morrisseau

Hi, I am Lucas. I am Your Average ten-year-old kid. I love the forest, climb the trees, do fantastic things with the leaves and twigs, and play in the trees. It was life until one day it was all gone. The only things left were tree stumps and light brown dead grass. I was devastated. Later that day, I learned about deforestation in school. I asked my parents about it and said, “those people needed to take the wood from the trees to build furniture and houses. I thought to myself, “ why couldn’t they just take half the trees instead of all of them or at least plant new trees. I decided to do something about this, so I planted new trees and tried to regrow the grass. I knew it wouldn’t be easy because I had to do a lot of research and learn more about how to take care of the new forest. Over time I had ten new trees starting to grow.

I had a lot of fun planting the trees and growing it all back. I felt I was doing something great. In school, my teacher taught us about reforestation. She says it is to help the ecosystem grow, so we can use plants to help humans with everyday things and then grow them after.

My parents and I were very proud of how I handled the forest and were much appreciated by people around me and worldwide. Together we can fix the many flaws of life on land from humanity even by doing the little things. Help around your community.
