The Manager

Shoprite Supermarket

Dear sir

When I was in your supermarket this month I found animal fur for sale. This fur is jaguar in it. This is bad for the rainforest,because people come to the forests and kill jaguars for their beautiful black and gold fur. I would like to ask you to stop selling this fur. If a lot of people do this, it will save some of the rainforest animal.

Your faithfully,

Naoya

Rainforests

Inada >> All of us(include me), in every country of the world, must try to help and save the rainforests.

After Reading No.1: Here is an interview between Wangari Maathai and a reporter.

Reporter: What happened to the rainforests in Kenya? Wangari Maathai: Without the trees, we get less rain, and the weather gets hotter. Then life gets very difficult for the rainforest people.

Rep: And what changes has that made? WM: Once there were lots of rainforests, but now 90 per cent of them have gone.

Rep: So you decided to help them. What did you do? WM: I planted my first trees in 1977. That was the beginning of the Green Belt Movement.

Rep: What new things are you doing now? WM: Now I am starting some new coffee plantations. They use no chemicals, so they do not damage the forests.And tourists can come to spend their holidays with us, planting trees.

Rep: And how many has the movement planted now? WM: 30 million - and now other African countries have organizatiions like ours too.

Rep: Finally, you are a famous person now. What would you like to say to the people of the world? WM: I think that every body in the world must work to help the earth - every one of us.
