Save the planet

Oh look! A blibbering humdinger... Oh, you must be the new students. I am Luna Lovegood, I love magical creatures... especially the ones only some can see. I have special glasses to see creatures like wrackspurts, they are called spectrespecs. people don't believe me and say I made up everything but... who cares?

Anyway... I am really concerned about looking after the enviroment. Obvious, right? I love creatures and creatures will die if the enviorment is destroyed.

I found a big problem nowadays, would you like to help me?
