Hi Children and Animals everywhere,

I’m so excited I can hardly keep on my perch!  My name is Oswaldo Owl and in just over a week’s time I’m going on a huge adventure to do something very special.  I’m cycling from the French coast to Paris with my friend Mark to say, ‘Don’t forget us animals!”  Very important leaders from all over the world will be in Paris talking about making sure that our world climate doesn’t get any hotter.  It’s a bit complicated but humans are burning too much coal and oil which makes invisible gases that make the earth & seas warmer, and more floods, fires and storms.  It starves creatures from on land and sea.  None of us wants it to get worse.

Mark asked me to come with him for a bit of company but you and I know that it’s very very important that the leaders think about animals not just about you humans because we all share one world and depend on each other. Some people say we don’t give two hoots – but we’ll show that we care!

We are setting off on Tuesday 24th November and arriving at Paris on Friday.  I am going to blog back every day (from 23^rd to 30^th) from somewhere in France with things we can do to help with the Climate, what’s going on at the talks and of course our adventure!  

If you've time I’d love to hear from you.  Tell everyone how you and your friends  are helping the climate, or anything you can tell us about your favourite animals or toys!

This is a bit of a squeeze!
