From the Labour team: Maya and Lucia were two of the youngest people to send in a submission on the Zero Carbon Bill, and we asked them to share their message about saving the world for International Youth Day (that’s today!). If you want to help make sure Maya, Lucia and their friends have a nice planet when they grow up, join our movement for serious climate action today.

 

Hello everyone!

We’re Maya and Lucia and we are sisters. We are four years old and seven years old, and we live in Wellington with our mum and dad. We are sending you an email today about looking after our planet.

We want to protect the environment because it is important, because if we don't look after it then a lot of things might die. It is important to look after our earth because we need love. We need to help people.

Everyone should use paper and cardboard instead of plastic because paper doesn't last very long but plastic will last for almost forever, it's even better to use reusable things. 

Some other ways that we think we should look after our planet are:

If we don’t make changes now then when all the children grow up it won’t be a nice life and nice planet for us.

Thanks for reading our email!
