Our planet, Earth, is a very precious place for humans and animals. It provides and supports everything for human beings needs and gives us all essential natural resources, such as water, air, and food. Without these natural resources humans and other living creatures could not survive. My drawing shows how nature is a vital part of human and animal life, and it is the thing that we could not survive without it. It also tells that animals had been adapted to nature that has been destroyed by things like pollution and climate change.
The setting of this artwork is based on environmental pollution. As a result of the pollution and abnormal weather, the nature of earth has been destroyed. The animals do not but to adapt themselves in unnatural ways. They’re wearing space helmets because they cannot breathe due to polluted water. The buildings and the trees on each side are now placed under water because the sea level has been rising due to global warming. The message that I want to give to the people through my drawing is that we should protect Earth for next generations because no living creature should be forced to evolve unnaturally to survive the environment that we destroyed.
When nature of our world gets destroyed, animals are forced to live in unnatural ways to survive, and they start to change their behavior to fit in new environment. Animals also have the right to live in a safe and healthy environment, just like humans do. Little choices we make put them into abnormal evolution. Although animals are not the ones who destroy the environment, they get influences from climate changes and pollution. To solve these problems, people should think about what we can do to keep our environment and start helping to protect our environment. We have lots of living creatures on our planet and every single one of them needs to get protected from problems like this.
In addition, our planet matters because it provides us with our needs. It provides things that we need for our lives to survive it like water and food. We cannot live without the things that earth provides to us. Another problem is that because of the environment that people destroy, animals have to adapt into the new environment and live in an unnatural way to survive. When things like climate change happens, animals get affected even though the people caused climate change and animals did nothing. When people help with a little thing, it would make a huge difference in our community. So, when people do a little thing in order to solve climate change like recycling, it would make a huge difference when many people do it
