Division III (Ages 14-18)

In the picture, we can see the polluted sea, smoke from factories belching out and our Earth is being eaten by a greedy big man. Yet, we ignore it. We can’t imagine the world without a single tree. Scientists and environmentalists tell us that planting seeds are important, as the planting of trees is important for the world to fulfill the essential needs of mankind, something every human needs, oxygen. The environmental issue is “The greed of humans”. This artwork shows that the greedy man-eating earth represents how human greed has affected the world as a whole, earth broken into pieces and flowing on a dark sea, destroying the world, if we continue like that, the world would end like a wildfire. This environmental issue is very crucial, the river water is not as clear as it used to be, there are no fish in sight or any other life besides the man, leaving only a piece of turbid sewage. Looking at the "filthy water" in front of me, I couldn't help feeling the 'greed' of human beings. Due to the endless destruction of water resources and other resources by human beings, desertification and hydraulic loss these disasters have caused many turmoil in our country. The destruction of forest vegetation has also triggered the arrival of dust storms, resulting in a sharp decline in tree species. Humans also hunt wild animals and rare creatures in large numbers, thus making wild animals endangered or even extinct. This drawing shows us that we only need to do some very simple things: don't litter, don't discharge sewage, don't waste water, don't cut down trees, don't kill wild animals, and plant the seeds to keep our environment clean, and the biggest statement of all, “don’t be greedy”, this can make our environment pristine!
