Congratulations to Aaliyah in Year 3 and Howan in Year 5 for their comments of the week! 

Aaliyah – Y3

I believe nature should have a legal right because, we need to think about God and how humans have destroyed the world. Humans throw litter into the sea/oceans, this causes animals to become sick. They die and ultimately cause extinction and they lose their habitats.
Mum - I'm on the fence. I agree humans have caused a lot of damage to the world so we need to look at new ways of fixing this as what is already in place doesn't seem to be working and it's only going to get worse. On the other hand how do we measure 'nature having a legal right?' Who determines this? In what categories do we place nature and decide what is chosen. I think it's a bit vague and unrealistically cannot be put into practice (although it would be lovely). I don't think it would work practically speaking.

Howan - Y5

I think that nature should have legal rights because lots of species are endangered and could go extinct and humans can't reverse extinction. Species would go extinct and slowly all animals on earth would go extinct and we would starve to death because although we may have crops, we don't have bees which are essential to grow things and we would only have a limited amount of food and slowly but surely we would disappear and we would go extinct and we don't want that to happen. wee need animals to survive because we need bees for fruits and vegetables for staying healthy and we need cows, chickens, sheep, and all the other kinds of meat to have protein so we can be strong. also lots of animals are are already endangered  and we don't  want them to go extinct and we don't want that to happen.
