There are many ways you can help save the rainforest. 4th graders
in Mr. Jonston's class decided to write letters asking people to
stop cutting down the trees. Sending letters is a very important
way of letting people know what you think. If you choose, please
use the addresses in the letters below and write a letter of your
own.

Mr. Mikio Sasaki
Mitsubishi COrporation
Japan
Dear Mr. Sasaki,
I have been told one of the world's biggest corporate destroyers
of rainforests is Mitsubishi Corporation. They are destroying too
much of the rainforests.
We need to stop cutting down the rainforests. The rainforests clean
most of the Earth's air. Without trees in the rainforests the air
will become polluted and we would not be alble to breathe.
We are asking you to stop destroying the rainforests. Once they
are gone we will never get them back. Together, you and we can make
a difference.
Thank you for considering our request. We would appreciate a response.
Sincerely,
Mr. Jonston's Fourth Grade Class

Dear President Bush,
Please save the rainforest. If the rainforest was gone, we wouldn't
have a lot of things. The air wouldn't be clean. We wouldn't have
any medicine from the rainforest. There would be pollution that
causes diseases of lungs. There wouldn't be animal habitat. There
also wouldn't be rubber. Please talk to industries and companies
and tell them not to cut down the rainforest.

Dear Madam,
I think we should keep all the rainforests!! Without the rainforest
we won't get medicines so we will get very ill. It is very important
to have medicine, so we can get healthy. When the rainforest is
burned down we will not have juicy fruits to eat.
The rainforest is very helpful!! Please save the rainforest.
Sincerely,
Jennifer

Dear Mrs. Clinton,
Nobody should cut down the rainforest. Nobody should cut down the
rainforest because it gives us our medicine that we need. If we
don't have the rainforest, we could die by cancer or pneumonia or
many other diseases. The people who cut the rainforest down do not
think very carefully. It ruins many things that we could use in
the rainforest, like aspirin we learned how to make from the rainforest.
That cures headaches or stomach aches. People would die from diseases
more if the rainforest is cut down. Please don't let people cut
down the rainforest. It is very important. I am getting worried.
Sincerely,
Melia

Dear Mrs. Clinton,
Our class has been studying the rainforests of the world. We have
been finding out more every day about the rainforests. With all
the information I have gathered, I have thought of something. I
have found out 50,000 acres of Rainforest are cut down a day. So
I'm concerned about preserving the rainforests. If we cut down the
Rainforests we could die. If the Rainforests are cut down, tomorrow
all the animals in the rainforests would be gone, and then any animals
that are fed on those animals would die. After that, all the plants
would die because there would be no animals to help the soil, and
then all of the people would die. So if we cut down the Rain forests
it might mean our lives.
Sincerely,
Marc
Dear Senator Clinton,
Please preserve our rainforests. If people destroy our tropical
rainforests we won't have products such as rubber and medicine,
and there can be weather changes to our environment. There are plants
that have a cure to cancer too.
I've learned rainforests are being burned down. Please try and
help.
Sincerely,
Kovalan
President George Bush
Washington D.C.
Dear President Bush,
Can you please talk to the people who are cutting down the rainforest?
If they cut down the trees a lot of species could be extinct. In
school we learned that rainforests aren't just homes to animals
but people too. We are destroying people's homes and animals too.
We need to save the rainforest quick. Please talk to the people.
Let them realize what they're doing.
Sincerely,
Stephanie

Dear President Bush,
You should save the rainforest because if you don't the air will
be polluted and we'll all die. We wouldn't be able to find any more
medicines. So if you can, talk to the Home Depot and tell them to
stop cutting rainforests.

Dear President Bush,
Don't cut down the rainforests. If you do then we won't have enough
medicine to heal the people and they'll die. If you cut down the
rainforests then we won't have any rubber. Then you won't be able
to use your car because tires is made out of rubber and you'll run
out of tires. If you cut down then the air would be polluted. People
would have diseases and die. So if you can, talk to the leaders
of countrys to stop cutting down the rainforests.

Dear President Bush,
I think you should do something about people cutting down the rainforest.
The rainforest is a home to many animals and a home to many people.
The rainforest provides many of our foods we eat today. It also
provides lots of our medicines. It also cleans our air. The rainforest
makes a lot of our oxygen.
Sincerely,

Dear President Bush,
I think you should do something about people cutting down the rainforest,
because it provides food and oxygen. If you cut it down it might
pollute the air. So please do something!

P.S. What is New York doing about this?

Honorable Hillary Clinton

Dear Madam,
I think we should keep all the rainforests. We have lots of products
from the rainforests.
The plants help clean the air. Without the rainforests' plants
our air would be dirty and polluted. Without clean air we can't
breathe right.
If we get sick where do you think we get some medicines? THE RAINFOREST!!
Do you want to get rid of that important medicine? I sure wouldn't!
Some haven't even been discovered!!
Pollution causes diseases of lungs. Medicine from the rainforest
can help.
If you kill a certain animal from the rainforest, they could be
connected in a food chain. That would kill all the connected animals.
We need rubber from the rubber tree. We have lots of rubber products
that will go to waste.

Dear Mr. Bush,
Please save the rainforests! If we destroy the rainforest, we will
not have clean air. Also many foods come from the rainforest, like
bananas, cocoa, and vanilla. Please talk to world leaders and companies
to stop cutting and burning rainforests.
