Winter 2007 Writing Contest

Think about the effects of global warming today.  The changes may not be so noticeable now, maybe just an inch or two of growth in the sea levels, and a slight change in temperature.  Yet years from now, the whole planet and everything on it will be affected.  Who knows what the possibilities may be if these harmful effects are not tended to…

This semester, YouthInkwell is hosting—
