And the most important for saving the environment is to change people’s thought, make people accept the way to saving the environment.
In poetry “Be The Rain” by Neil Young, author wants to tell readers even most of people are destroying the environment, the government don’t care about the environment. The public should do what they are supposed to do, people shouldn’t be control with the environment, human can’t saving the environment after destroy it. Before human destroy the environment, people should unity together to save the environment. Like the in the poetry, “Be the ocean when it meets the sky,”Greek freighters are dumping crap somewhere right now” Be the magic in the northern lights, “the ice is melting!” Be the river as it rolls along, “toxic waste dumpin’ from corporate farms ””, (Stanza 13) this shown the author can see the change and do

Author think that saving the environment not only can adults do, but also the children can do it. Like the third paragraph,”That means over five million liters of oil are wasted and end up contaminating soil and water annually. As well, David calculated that 10 million kilograms of empty plastic containers end up in dumps each year”(Line 16), this shown readers how David do for saving the environment, and David, in the vide supra, the second paragraph,”That was the science project of David Grassby, a 14-year-old who lives in Thornhill, Ontario”,(Line 6) this shown readers the people who find this problem is a young people. It means, everyone, every single people live in this world all can saving the environment. Whatever who you are, how old are you, male or female. If you want to save the environment, you can start with the little things with you. That is the important
According to an annual Gallup survey, “Americans are way more worried about water pollution than global warming, air pollution, or other major environmental concerns.” (Loughlin). Drinking polluted water will harm individuals and their families but global warming has not appeared to danger us and so we do not worry about it (Walker). In the article, The Sacred Balance: Rediscovering Our Place in Nature, by David Suzuki, it is indicated that humans have lost interconnectedness with nature. In other words, people have put importance to the more unnecessary things, which are the main causes for us consuming chemicals in food and creating dangerous pollution and diseases. The ignorance of our modernist society faces has led us all to severe problems. One should be more aware of what 's happening around us instead of just letting things happen. We must be more cautious so that we can live in a safe environment.
In the “Grand Canyon: A Whole New World” the author proclaims, “The canyon was not the same one I’d first encountered at the conclusion of the mule ride. It no longer disoriented and terrified me but, in accordance with Colter’s ideals, it elevated the mind, enlarged the heart” (Kirn 40). This quote shows that our culture does not allow younger generation to have exposure to the natural world, but once they do experience it they can learn to understand and take responsibility for it. The vast influence of technology in one’s culture can be a deterrent from taking the time to experience nature in its true beauty. The lack of responsibility for nature has had some dramatic effects on the natural world. In the article “ Letter to the Editor on Climate Story” Walker and Roberts states, “Humanity’s reliance on carbon-based fuels is pumping dangerous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, leading to a steady rise in average global temperature and attendant ill effects including droughts, the spread of infectious diseases, and sea level rise” (Walker and Roberts 137). If millennials do not take responsibility for the natural world they will continue to harm and ultimately destroy it for their generation and generations to
He compares and contrast on how environmentalists have mislead society into thinking that we as a race are doomed. He states that environmentalists argue that Earth is currently facing lot of environmental concerns and that our raw materials are becoming more and more scarce. Environmental problems like global warming, animal extinction, air and water pollution, waste buildup, and many more affect mankind. And also the degrading of our planet has increased at an alarming rate over a small time span. As a result, our actions have not been in favor of protecting the planet, so natural disasters are hitting us on a bigger than before.
Have you ever thought about how your actions or opinions affected the environment around you? We’re constantly unaware of what we do that impacts the environment’s condition. One author named Wendell Berry blames the public in his article regarding the way society and the industry has treated the environment and its natural resources. This raises concerns whether we should be putting more importance on the economy or the land that we live in for the sake of our future survival. While I agree with most of Berry’s points and perspectives I slightly disagree with a few of his opinions, but nonetheless he brings up a great matter in today’s modern society.
The UK Parliament has made considerable movement towards helping schools in Britain to become kinder to the planet. The Scottish government has introduced an eco-schools programme into the British school system. These eco-schools and the government hold close links with Education for sustainable development (ESD).
In conclusion, numerous world leader have influenced the world to evolve into an improved place. Not all of the modifications were good. Nevertheless, we should fight for our rights; we must study, work and endure to change our environment for a positive cause and improve it for the generations to

Both Hymas and Feldman believe that the kids are the major problem of the environmental issues. They claim that Americans, especially the kids, are more likely to make pollution than others. Further, they both show a research of a study from 2009 Oregon State University, which shows a fact that the climate impact of having one fewer kid in the U.S. is about 20 times greater than the eco-friendly acts of one’s entire lifetime. Knowing this fact have made them be more concerned about nature. Since they were concerned about it, they had to think back their life and make plans for their
Growing up, there are countless young boys, who have the dream of someday being a professional football or baseball player. Going outside and letting the imagination of being on the big stage and making the final pitch to win the World Series or the final Hail Mary throw to win the Super bowl. As a young kid, the dream of one day being the best and be paid to play a sport they grew up loving and playing. Although the sports of football and baseball are both very popular, there are a substantial amount of differences between
Our education should be aimed at educating people who love the world they lie in and who are ready to become peacemakers and healers of the world (Orr 55). A sustainable society “consists” of citizens, workers, specialists, technicians, etc, who are ready to work in order to build and support such society. One of the ways to provide such education is to “get outdoor”. The skills and abilities develop in real world and not in artificial situations in class. In this regard, we may refer to the Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”. One should “touch” the real world problems and get personal experience from it. Shadows in the cave are the retrospectives of the real knowledge. To acquire the knowledge, we should leave the “cave”. We can learn theory separated from practice and this will not have any result. Instead, we should understand that every individual is a part of the natural world, thus, education should be based on ecological literacy as “health of our planet” is one of the most urgent questions of the modern social community.
So, as we are human, we can do something to protect the environment. It is good to ourselves. We can do a very small thing like using less disposable goods in our daily lives. Since we cannot control the environment, we should make some safeguards before the disaster
Environmental issues have been a cause of a lot of debate in the recent past. Governments and nongovernmental organizations have been in constant consultations on how to help protect the environment. Apparently, as a result of man’s many actions, the natural environment is getting torn apart so quickly that the coming generations will not enjoy this kind of environment, unless a
