When I was younger, ideas like this one were quite popular, at least in our school. It was a really hot topic for essays and articles because elders, in general wanted to read it. So, during that time, I tried to put what I thought about it on paper.
So here goes:
In this little piece of text, we will have two characters. They will interact. This story is the future, and will happen after you have read this completely. We might put a little twist in the end to wrap it up. The two nameless characters shouldn't be that. So we shall call them jack and jill. Keeping everything as simple as possible is of grave importance. If you haven't noticed, the names are pretty simple.
Jack is standing somewhere and jill somewhere else.
Jill asks jack that why did he do this to her?
and it is no use crying over spilt milk. Jill is not accusing jack, but sounds as if stating a fact. Jack replies that it was completely his fault and he had been warned before things got out of hand.
Jack adds in a pitiful tone that he will try not to repeat that. At this moment, suddenly a part of jill falls off and vanishes from sight. Jack sobs bitterly and says that jill is dying. He then repeats this fact over and over again as if in a trance. Jill firmly asks him to stop it. She goes on to say that she indeed is dying, but is not dead yet. There is hope. It is not easy to watch oneself decaying, but she does not think of jack with contempt. Jack says to her that he will never again exploit her, never take advantage of her magnanimity, pollute her and try to undo his various wrongs.
Jill tells him, that his manner was very casual and he should pledge everything he said.
Jack takes a vow.
Jill exclaims with joy, that jack mustn't forget and take care of himself and others.
Jill then sits down and bearing an empty expression on her once charming face, stares blankly ahead.
Now, for the much-awaited twist. It won't be exactly a twist but will come as a revelation.
Jack is you and Jill represents our dying world, the earth.
Read it all again substituting their identities and try sincerely to absorb the message imparted.

On this ever green topic i.e. Green, the writer presents the condition of our planet in a very effective and forceful manner. The style is quite new. He personifies Green. We the inhabitants of Earth can easily feel the severity of decaying greenery, who is in a form of a person. Simple, but effective manner to present the most important topic.
