Of acres with trees and brush waiting to Feed this monster’s appetite. Great walls of flames devouring The ready food of timber. Flames and smoke rising higher into the sky, But the ongoing march of this giant of fire Still taking with it hundreds of homes And other buildings. Many evacuations and those people Have no choice but to escape The persistent oncoming wall of flames. It will take many years to recover the land And the normal lives of those who lost everything. However, the day will come when nature will Take over and the beauty that was once There will again be glorious in its new life.
Forest fires in California have been an example of climate change. We can not forget this situation and above all we can not become indifferent people. We have here a video that aims to encourage our individual work in such a way that we will all achieve something positive. For example, if each one of us plants a tree and water it we will do a lot and even if we can sow some trees, it would be excellent.
And don't forget to submit your writing to our Contest "Nature 2017-2018"
About trees and hope Music by Mattia Cupelli "Touch"
Taking into account the International Literary Contest "Nature 2017-2018" we would like to stress the importance of the forest for today and our future. You are invited to write a poem or short story about the future of our forests. We can't forget the tragedy of the fires in California... since 4th December.
It is with great joy that we announce the beginning of the International Literature Contest "Nature 2017-2018", which this year runs from 1 December 2017 to 1 April 2018. On 19 April are announced the pre-finalists and the April 28 the main winners. We refer to joy in this announcement because this is the reunion of all of us in this adventure that has one of its great objectives to raise awareness for the protection of nature. A reunion between friends. This year, for example, California fires have made climate change evident. The suffering of the people was enormous and to note the replacement of a green cloak by the color of ash, it is sad. In the world, the fact that the concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere are at very high levels can only make us aware. It is time to act, so here is also the invitation to participate in this contest and then the conditions of participation and other details.
