January 25th, 2025 Today, my grandma showed me some old photos - of our city. It was a town back then! She could walk to the sea across fields! from her house There were lots of green spaces, and it looked so peaceful in the photos. Now, there's hardly any open land left. It's all been taken over by construction. The population has grown so much that there are apartment buildings from here to the sea. I love my city but now there are not enough trees for the birds to live in. I started thinking about how the town has changed over the years. We've built more houses and roads, but there is not enough countryside anymore. There's too much pollution and too many we need to slow buildings. Maybe down and think more about the future especially the future of the environment. 2 Read the journal again.
