Ban England Smokers by Harriet and Emily, North Yorkshire
I approve of the ban in Ireland because it will encourage the people who do smoke not to smoke. Since the ban in Ireland, a lot less people have died from smoking. I think that it would be good that there wouldn't be a riot if they banned it in England as well. It would also save a lot of money for people. I think that it is stupid how the suppliers write smoking kills on the pack when they are the ones killing them with their supplies. There is also a lot less deaths from second hand smoke. It is scary to think someone close to you smokes and you also have to suffer too while your with them. There are possibilities of danger even when you are just carrying a cigarette lighter around because they light up any time. Also if you left it on a table a child put pick it up and burn themselves.
Less fags, More Life, by Charlie, 12, North Yorkshire UK
I agree with the new smoking ban in the republic of Ireland. Because I find that its horrible to have to sit down in a restaurant and have to breath in other people's cigarette smoke. Hundred's of babies have to go to hospital every year because of breathing in other people's cigarette smoke. I think it is a good idea to ban smoking and I think that this country should do the same. It would help people to stop smoking if they could only smoke at home because some people won't want to fill their house with smoke. If people get really addicted and their lungs deteriorate and prosthetic ones have to be put in.
Oliver and Jack say:
I think that smoking is terrible because whenever I go in to town I see all the smoke in the air and sometimes I see people holding there breath when they go past someone who is smoking. The worst thing about the people who smoke is that they always throw there cigarettes on the ground and sometimes they stand on the cigarettes instead of putting it in the bin. I don't know why people smoke because it is very bad for them and they will die on it depending on how long they smoke; and they can kill other people by smoking. I will not smoke when I am older and hope you don't.
Ewan and Charlie say:
It gets on your nerves when someone smokes right next to you and you have to breathe the smoke in. It should be banned in all public areas or else the person smoking should pay a heavy fine. All parents who smoke should stop when they are pregnant or if they have a child. If not the child will be addicted to smoking at a very early age and will have damaged lungs. Cigar lighters are very dangerous if you keep them in any pocket or bag because it could set off at any time killing the person carrying it. People who sell cigars are very arrogant since they damage other people's health to make money they are bad and should try another job!

The beautiful but endangered Snow Leopard

Endangered Species by Cristina, Victoria, Canada
There are many animals in the world that are becoming endangered. Because people choose that it’s winter so they have to have a new fur leopard coat. Or it's summer so they need a snakeskin bikini. (Hopefully they wouldn't wear it to the beach because snake's skin is pretty see-through.) On the contrary we need to save the animals from extiction. That way one day in a couple hundred years we might still have the ability to actually see the animals in the wild instead of having to search the web until you found an old picture of the golden eagle or the snow leopard.
We should respect nature so that other people can see it and enjoy it as well. You can help keep these animals living by not littering, picking up litter, biking, walking, roller blading etc. Therefore we would not be polluting their natural habitat.

What is sustainability? by Aaron, 11, Victoria, Canada
It is all about preserving the earth from getting any worse. For example: preserving human needs, preserving endangered species of animals, like some type of fish. Like the ancient species, coelacanth for example.
Sustainability is important because it prevents global warming. Global warming is happening from pollution that heats up the earth, thus, melting the tundra ice and Alaska. Scientists say if things continue this way, we could be covered in water in the near future.
How do we keep the planet preserved? Here are some ways:
*Don't litter,
*Try using your bike or walk instead of driving a car
*Volunteer at an endangered species center(Adults Only)
And basically be kind to nature my using natural products.

Soldiers in Iraq by Elizabeth, Victoria, Canada
I think President Bush is bad because he is killing so many innocent people by sending soilders into Iraq. If I was living in Afghanistan I would never want him to send people to rebuild my country. Why would he destroy Afghanistan and kill innocent people and and then try and rebuild Afghanistan?.

I'ts your life not mine so if I were you I would do a lot of sports. I would not eat too quickly because when you eat too fast your not giving the stomach time to tell the brain you're full. Don't eat too much food and don't play on your Playstation 2, Playstation 1 or xbox all the time. I'ts up to you to keep fit make sure you keep it that way and follow this advice and you will have a happy life to live!
