Reflection

Polar bears are one of my favorite animals, and they are going to become extinct within the next 5-6 generations if something is not done to slow climate change. I am a 12-year-old seventh grade student, and my life is also directly affected by climate change. I live in a place where sea level rise will cause the state of Florida to disappear since it is a low-lying area surrounded by the ocean. In the last century alone there has been a 9-inch rise, and experts expect that by 2060 there will be two feet more. This will destroy our state if something is not done!
