Mother Earth & Our Children's Future  SAW Egypt prepared a publication Mother Earth & Our Children's Future, based on the SAW topics Climate change (translation in Arabic) and Global warming, to stimulate the interest of kids and young students in these issues. Mariam El-Agamy, our coordinator for the Middle East and Egypt raised the interest of the Egyptian Ministry of the Environment and got it's support for the publication.  'Mother Earth & Our Children's Future' was prepared by Mariam ElAgamy in cooperation with El Nasr Girls' College.
On the cover of the new publication: Dear parents
Global warming will affect us all but it is our children
who will inherit the planet from us.
Get your kids involved: teach them about global warming
and how they can help by giving them checklist. The booklet, in the form of a colouring book, with information about global warming, the origin of the greenhouse effect and many good advices to reduce energy use, was printed and published under the auspices of the Minister of Environmental Affairs in Egypt, Engineer Maged George. The first workshop in a kindergarten Global warming
by Mr. Salah El-Din Mohamed, Arabic Coordinator in E.G.C. When we slapped the globe
It suffered a double slap
We saw sufferance and last hope
Our eyes cried in the trap
O factories with your fumes
Filling up all rooms
O Man why oppress with your own hands
O press yourself in all errands
Cars increase like yeasty cakes
Varying in length and in makes
We don’t care what we do with our hands
Polluting air, polluting lands
We burn wastes everywhere
With rash offences to the air
We talk and talk but nobody hears
To a deaf would that have caused more fears
At all times electricity is on
Without stopping, it's no fun!
| Dangers increase, all in low
With effects that will not go
Reactors make explosion
Experiments with fumes of plosion
All this without thinking
As if it weren’t dangerous in blinking
When the temperature rises tomorrow
Ice caps will melt and we'll live in sorrow
No beaches will be there
And the end will come everywhere
The world around us is like flowers
If we conserve it, it will be ours
Full of breeze, water and all
We need to live, our life is gall
The globe will make us repent
For our deeds when everything is spent
No regret will be useful
When we drown being regretful |
