Do you like the idea of pencils that contain seeds that are planted?and do they have a role in reducing pollution, and preserving the environment?
Wow! Pencil that contains seed is a very creative idea 👏👏. And I think that after using the pencil instead of throwing the outer body part we can bury it under the sand so that a plant will be grown. This idea will definitely reduce the pollution 🏭🏭.

Mr. Ben, you said that it is good to act according to your beliefs, but there are many people who act according to a wrong belief, not everyone has a correct belief. The closest example of people who are the cause of the deterioration of the environment by their belief that the environment is not important, they do simple things in their belief that it does not cause deterioration, such as throwing Waste and the use of plastic, and this is something that deteriorates the environment, but I am sure that your belief is 100 percent correct, because you are an active member of the environment and a helper to your country.

Dear Ben,
We've always been dreaming of a world that is clean, healthy, and pure of contamination. But over time, new viruses appear, new diseases are found, and the infrastructure keeps deteriorating. So, I'm wondering when are we going to live a good life on a healthy planet.
Another question, do you think that natural disasters are caused by the contamination humans cause?

There are some reports saying that inequality is the cause of the spread of crises related to climate and security.

How can we achieve equality in my region and what are the procedures that must be followed later to preserve the democratic system and eliminate the dictatorial regime in the country
