350 Who Will Save Earth? is a one act play written by 11 year old Abigail Weiner, a student at North Cumberland Middle School, the play focuses on a group of students who ban together and take on a group of scientists who are planning to construct an underground city by finding other ways to save earth. In her play, Abigail compares the earth …to a patient who goes to the doctor and hears that he or she is ill. But if the patient listens and makes the necessary changes needed, the patient can recover. The earth can recover if we ban together and do what is necessary to save our environment…The students then offer fifty one ways that each of us can do to slow global warming by cutting carbon emissions. And when confronted by the angry scientists , the students cite Christopher Steiners’ book, Twenty Dollars Per Gallon; “How the inevitable rise in the price per gallon of gas will change our lives for the better.” The play ended with a song written by Marissa Liotta titled: One Voice. Marissa is also a student at North Cumberland Middle School.
One Voice
I only have one voice,
Not powerful at at all
Not enough you say
To change the world.
But I know that one voice
Can change the world
I tell you
Now we have two.
Repeat that and you’ll find
That we have a powerfull voice
United by one cause
One voice!
One reason!
One force!
Only one mission.
When I stand alone
I will fall,
But with everyone here
Someone will catch me!
Cause we have
One Voice!
One reason!
One Force!
Only one mission
To save the world!
