Finalist in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

How could these things be connected?
While you read just think which one’s being protected.
Oil extraction and an intense sun,
Heating a home and an animal without one.
Methane pollution and wild weather,
Logging trees and losing penguins altogether.
Delivering goods and islands sinking,
Driving a car and polar bears dwindling.
Fossil fuels and products being sold,
Hot and cold.
Wonder if you've figured out this poem’s subject, Here I’ll give you a
hint; Cause and effect.
The change in our climate is in full swing, We are the ones that have
to do something.
The way to change the earth’s direction, Make the connection.
