While most of the advanced countries are worrying about people having less children, and how this is effecting society and economy, the news is reporting, "The Greenhouse Effect is causing global climates to warm, especially this winter. Many places like Europe did not snow, while other places that shouldn't have did……"

Humans have controlled Earth's resources for thousands of years through are knowledge, but because of our lack of self control, we are instead, harmed by our actions. There is only one Earth, and even if there are less children in the future, if we don't allow a chance for nature to recover, we will walk onto the path of self destruction.

Bin Jiang Elementary School is a newly established school of a year, we don't have many students. However, our students and teachers have come together like a large family, knowing and caring for each other; the members of this team have come from different schools, but now that they are here, in the short amount of time allowed, they have chosen a research topic, built a research outline, completed research, and finished a webpage. These different stages have allowed our children to understand and care for the future of this world together, and with love, responsibility, and devotion, they have finally completed this project. We hope that we can sow a seed of dreams in their hearts, and with this project, attract more people to care about the Earth together, to love our environment, and do what they should, since we all are citizens of Earth.

    The most important responsibility of Earth's citizens is to love our planet. Our children are the leaders of the 21^st century, and they need to be conscious about the dangers of our environment. They need to be able to look at the world, and build up a broad and insightful perspective. The intensification of the greenhouse effect is Earth's nightmare. Only the devotion and care of everyone in the world will help heal Earth's wounds, and rejuvenate this planet which we all depend on. Leading our children to understand the greenhouse effect; leading them to take action and reduce. The topics of our lessons are serious, but, the activities are vivid. Our teachers used their creativity and combined environmental issues. They led them to join in Taiwan's elementary student greenhouse effect reduction plans, from themselves to family members, from school to community. Our teachers and students, with high morale, accomplished the feat of lowering the combined carbon dioxide emission of their families from 114.797 to 105.607 liters, an 8% drop. This has been the most meaningful contribution of the first anniversary of the establishment of our school. Though the lessons and activities have stopped for now, our actions to reduce will never stop. Class 60 has delivered a beautiful report card, which stands for our love of the planet. We hope that more Environmental Scouts will join the ranks now!

We see infinite possibilities in children.

If not for a lesson, what would be the chances a student would have noticed these issues? A research topic like this, might it seem too deep, too boring?

A new school, new team, plus the pressure of school activities and homework, and such a huge research project to finish. What are the chances?

The many questions I had were gone however, with the busy but enthusiastic students. Leading a class of students without background on this topic to the point that they slowly understood much of it; students completing their reports and diaries, then automatically discussing what to do next, even though us teacher's were too busy to help them. After reading a report on an Antarctic iceberg floating towards New Zealand, the students came to me to tell me this. After watching "An Inconvenient Truth", the children told me about the debut of "The While Planet", and excitedly discussed when to watch it. Accompanying the children from learning about the greenhouse effect, to caring about our environment, to finally taking action to change the environment, we privately hoped that they would start changing from small everyday attitudes. Comforting enough, they can always do more then we think they can, and automatically. I deeply feel that all children need is inspiration, and some more space. With this, their future development will soar like an eagle in the sky, and our world just might be better than it is now.
