The Bubbling Bother

By Adam Becker

 

One morning Jewelock was on their way to do some scuba diving however tragedy struck, for the water’s surface was littered with fish corpses! Jewelock had to find out what was causing this and so they jumped in the water with a splash.

They found that they were surrounded by bubbles. Is this the cause? Jewelock thought, just a bunch of bubbles? What is a bunch of bubbles going to do to cau…”, but before she could finish this train of thought a bubble appeared underneath the fish and they started rising, but they could not breathe!

So this is the cause! Jewelock thought realising that the fish getting trapped in a bubble must lose their ability to breathe, and then rise to the surface dead!

I have to put a stop to this! Jewelock thought courageously, however Jewelock knew a lot about the law and that anything within 1 kilometre of the coast was the government’s property.

But then Jewelock hatched a plan: according to American law, if you spent a lot of time in a place and maybe laid some furniture down and slept there for a few nights it would be yours! So with this in mind, Jewelock went to work, signs were stabbed into the seabed with large text saying in Scalish (fish language) ‘Do Not Enter’. Mouths agape, the aqueous specimens all declared, “pop pop po pop”, which in Scalish means “Someone finally cares about us!”

In no time at all the area was secure. Now the question was how to remove the carbon dioxide. Well things that suck up CO2 already exist so I’ll try that, thought Jewelock enthusiastically.

Now they just needed the funding, so they cut holes in plastic bottles and used them as donation boxes. Immediately income started flooding in and having raised £20,000 Jewelock was ready to save the fish.

The CO2 removing machines began sucking at a moment’s notice, first less bubbles began to appear then only a few remained and they ceased to exist. The signs were then removed and the fish were saved.

One sign remained on the seabed written by Jewelock, which said:

‘Respect the earth and all who live in it, or you could be next’.

  Save the Rainforest By Luke E.   Once upon a time, there was a boy called Xavi. He had blonde hair that covered his verdant eyes. He was a pale, slim boy that had everything he ever wanted; from a wooden horse to a Samsung Galaxy Phone. He had a blood red scar above his right eye that was a souvenir of the car crash that had killed his parents. He now lived with his grandmother , who was an ancient lady that had twelve cats. Xavi stepped out into the cold air and looked around the playground. There were students climbing, running and skipping. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a figure wearing dark shades with a black suit. He cautiously approached. He stood up and shook Xavi’s hand. “My name is Remi and I come from the future. In my time, you will be famous because you helped stop climate change. Come with me.” Xavi asked, “what is climate change?” Remi answered, “climate change is not just one thing - it is multiple things that are ruining th...

Great Green Trees By Harriet Darley   While the sun shone up above, destruction occurred down below. A man made machine approached the group of lush, green trees. The man, whose intentions were not good, knocked one of the towering plants over. A dreadful crash sounded as the animals ran desperately for their lives. The screech of fleeing birds sounded miniscule to the wiring of engines. While another great, green tree went down, a jaguar with its young, barely bounded out the reach of death. The smell of petrol filled every gap, even the skeletons of the bushes. The Orangutan swung desperately to safety. In the middle of the chaos a fragile nest fell like a rock in water. It was devastating. Hi, my name is Hatty, I am frustrated that this is happening to our planet. I am a ten year old girl. I wear glasses and I have brown, shoulder length hair. Deforestation is one of many things that is killing our planet at a rapid rate. Deforestation is the cutting of trees at a large amount ....

  Climate Champions By L.P. Corcoran   A suffocating aura of misery and disgust hung heavy in the air, the bitter scent of smoke clawing at the sloths nostrils. The atmosphere was foul, forcing everyone to grimace as if they’d bitten into something sour. Overhead, a blanket of grey slowly smothered the once vibrant cyan sky, while a cold, sharp chill crept up their spines like a sly gremlin. For miles, animals gazed in despair at the devastating state of their homes. Everywhere, families huddled around the remnants of their lives, tears streaming down their faces as they stared in horror at what had become of their once beautiful surroundings. All that remained was a barren stump, a pitiful stump. The enemies stood nearby, laughing without remorse for the destruction they had wrought. Axes in hand, they mindlessly loaded tree after tree into the backs of their trucks, oblivious to the depth of the harm they were inflicting. Or perhaps they knew and didn’t care. After a...
