Sze Ee Lee, a 14-year-old Malaysian girl, has won the 36th Universal Postal Union International Letter-Writing Competition. It is the first time that Malaysia wins the international competition for young people, which has been held since 1972.

Dear People of the World,

Don’t be surprised when you see this letter. Let me introduce myself. My name is Cody, a tiger cub that lives in the rainforest of Malaysia. I may be small but I have seen horrific things done to the creatures of the Earth.

I couldn’t sleep for days when I heard about what had happen to my cousin Nikki. Luckily, he was rescued from the cooking pot just in time. Kind people have since then taken good care of him. So I have many words to say to the people of this planet.

I want to congratulate you all. Many of you have good education and live in your so-called world of modernization. Does this mean that humans are civilized?

Yet, why do humans still need to invade our jungle besides hunting us like in those primitive days. Dear people of the World, don’t burn our homes and occupy the area, our natural habitat. We have no other place to go.

• Include global warming/climate change in school curricula (as part of National Science Standards), so when the students are in charge they can make educated decisions.
• Increase availability of low-interest Energy Efficient Mortgages to support homeowners who increase the energy efficiency of their homes.
• Put light sensors in all office and school buildings so all lights go off when the rooms are empty.
• Require that all products contributing to global warming be marked with a specific color (e.g., chemical pesticides could be marked with a red sticker for being extremely dangerous to the environment).
• Use less paper; use the back of the paper to print on or write on; use recyled paper. (more…)
