22. Lesson From a Small Island • Now what do you think? • After reading "A Story from a Small Island" Rapa Nui, write a letter to your government or another island telling them of the mistakes Rapa Nui made. Please include the following information: 1. A group definition of sustainability.2. What decisions resulted in the downfall of the community?3. What are we doing today that might effect our future?4. How can we prevent what happened at Rapa Nui from happening to us?Remember, this is a collaboration with your group. Work together to create the letter. Posted by Mrs. Sek at 5:46 AM

23. Tex said... Dear United States Government,We are writing this letter to urge you to do something about the deforestation in the world. Acres of rainforest are being destroyed everyday and we need to do something about it. If you read the "Story of the People of Rapa Nui" you will understand that the rainforest does not have sustainability because it takes a long time for a tree to grow but only a minute to cut one down. If we don't stop cutting down the rainforest, we are going to lose all of the plants and animals that live in the rainforest. Many medicines come from the rainforest and we won't be able to make the medicine without the plants. Please do something about this or we will end up like Rapa Nui.Thank you,Group #5 • JJL said... Dear Governor Patterson,This letter is an official request to solve the issue of deforestation. Much of the Rain Forest has already been destroyed and we need to prevent this in the future. Trees cannot replenish themselves at the rate people can cut them down at. Plants and animals are dependent on one another, so as you cut down trees, you also hurt animal habitat. Please help in the fight against deforestation, so we can sustain our planet for our kids and grandchildren.Thank you,Group #3
