Dear Alexis,
Hello, my name is Heather Bentley and I am co-editor
here at TC.  I am very impressed with what you wrote
regarding the issue of the next millennia, especially
regarding how human civilizations might cease to exist before
the end of the next millennia.
It's almost scary to think that what happened to the
dinosaurs could happen to us.  But whereas the dinosaurs
disappeared through no fault of their own (supposedly
a meteor detonated on the earth surface and covered the earth
with dust, cinders, etc. that changed the climate and killed
the dinosaurs), humans may self-destruct.  Either the Green
House Effect, ozone depletion, rainforest destruction, etc.
may well ruin our earth to the "point of no return." Not a
charming thought, but quite realistic!
Well, your letter made me think, and I just wanted to
let you know this.  Want to talk more about this subject?

Sincerely,
Heather Bentley - grade 12
