- Dear World Leaders, As you control the World, I think it would be better if you did what is best for the World, instead of just what is best for the countries you are friends with. I also think the opinions of children should be taken more seriously and responsibilities such as voting should be awarded based on intelligence and not age. Huw, age 12, Bangor 9th April 2005
- Vital to focus minds on the potential water crises points, before this becomes an excuse for future wars. Equally vital to focus on provision of pure water for all. Enough money to give everyone this basic necessity as well as sufficient food. Ken Pye
- Let's start thinking of our future not our pockets. This probably applies to the Americans more thananyone else. S.L.F.
- I feel the Welsh do not get their fair say in maters of language and other important matters. We should be on an equal to Scotland, and let our voice be heard. Williams and G M Jones
- Getting child care costs down so people can work and bring inmoney. S. Hughes
- Annwyl arweinwyr y G8, Ymbiliaf arnoch arweinwyr mawr y byd i roi dioddefaint y trydydd byd yn y gorffennol ac i gamu ymlaen i'r dyfodol drwy ddiddymu y ddyled sydd ganddynt. Sut y gallun ni helpu y bobl hyn os nad ydych chi'n rhei cyfle iddynt fyw? M M Jones

How Does all this Link to Wales?
Westminster continues to ignore the views of the Welsh people. This follows a tradition of repression of the Welsh and their culture
The Welsh language continues to be discriminated against in favour of English and this is not just a Welsh phenomenon it is happening worldwide. Minority languages and indigenous populations are being pushed aside in favour of globalization.
