If I Could Save the Planet

If I had the world in my fingertips, I would wave away hunger, clean the oceans with a snap, and make every animal safe in its home. The Earth would breathe again, and people would finally see how magical our planet truly is.

I’d start with food. No one should go to bed starving. I’d grow towering gardens that reached the clouds, where fruit and vegetables shimmered in the sunlight. Farmers everywhere would have the seeds, tools, and knowledge to feed everyone, turning deserts into fields of green.

Next, I’d make the streets sparkle. Trash would vanish into enchanted recycling bins, and empty lots would bloom into green parks. Teens and kids would be the guardians of their neighborhoods, planting flowers and keeping their communities alive and beautiful.

Then, I’d save the oceans. Plastic would disappear, coral reefs would glow with color, and dolphins, turtles, and whales could play freely again. Every wave would sing of life restored.

I’d also protect animals on land—forests and mountains would become safe havens, and rescue centers would heal the injured. Every creature, from the tiniest ant to the largest elephant, would have a home.

Finally, the world would run on clean energy—solar, wind, and water—so magic and nature could thrive forever. If I had the world in my fingertips, I’d turn hope into reality, and Earth would finally shine like the treasure it is.
