Responsibility 'And Meet My Kid, An Adorable Environmental Disaster'

The biologist E.O. Wilson estimated in 2002 that if current rates of human destruction of the biosphere continue, one-half of all plant and animal species of life on earth will be extinct in 100 years. In a survey in1998 conducted by the New York’s American Museum of Natural nearly of 70% of the 400 biologists interested believed that the Earth is currently in the early stages of a human-caused mass extinction, known as the Holocene extinction. In that survey, the same proportion of respondents agreed with the prediction that up to 20% of all living populations could become extinct within 30 years (by 2028). Probably these predictions are too catastrophic and is quite impossible to claim the mass extinction in a short term, but these are clear advises of how much deep and negative is the interference of the Humans in the environment and in the life of the other cohabitants of this planet. I believe this evidences required changing in the life style of the world population, especially from the most industrialized countries as Europe, North Americas and part of Asia even if they represent a small part of the world population are the cause of the biggest part of the global pollution.

Those who replied stated that our generations, like the ones before us, have done irreversible damage to the earth. To have children while understanding that we have used up a massive amount of natural resources makes one think about the type of future that their offspring may end up facing. A study by the World Wildlife Fund warned that humans are plundering the planet at a pace that outstrips its capacity to support life. With another issue that may play into this is the concern of overpopulation. With the chance that overpopulation may lead to poverty, over- consumption and damage to our oceans and

Everyone in my generation has probably grown up seeing ads or watching videos about pollution or about the environment in general, so much, to the point that these constant reminders about protecting our planet are already part of the norm for us. While these reminders have had positive effects, like how more and more people have become informed of the Earth’s condition, many people, myself included, still remain indifferent to the threats our environment faces. I won’t lie; I’m no saint or crusader for the cause, but every now and then certain videos or articles strike a chord within me and makes me reflect on the way how I’ve been living affects the environment. One such article was the one we read last week in class, “The Sixth Extinction” by Elizabeth Kolbert in the Upfront magazine.

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

The first article was talking about China has a pollution problem, and the government does not measure the chemical problem because the government will take a long time to solve it. The second article was talking about European are planning to put into effect law for reducing toxins in the air. That means I learned from these articles and answered my research question, which is how can we live more sustainably. Moreover, if we need to live more sustainably, we need to reduce the air pollution because it has a bad effect on people’s health, animals, and planets. I have found solutions, causes, and damages, which are helping me to write how can we solve environmental problems and its effect. This article is effective because the risk of cancer has declined and the government tried to find the solution. I think it is significant to protect our environment because if we do not protect it, we will not find resources. That’s why I want to live more sustainably. I strongly suggest all government in the world to solve their environmental problems because people’s life is

With the development of the economy, more and more company becomes stronger, but the more and more exhaust is discharged into our environment. We know, this is one of the reasons that cause global warming. However, in my opinions, the major reason is our human’s bad behaviors. Around our environment, we can see a lot of global warming’s phenomenon. Take me as an example, actually I met a snow day when I was in San Antonio, Texas. This was unusual because every resident knows that there was no snow day in winter since many years ago. But nearly 2010, it was snowing at some day. Another example, it happened in the afternoon on Feb. 29th. There was snowing but it was normal at last five minutes. Global warming has harmful to the earth, it will rise in sea level and it will bring many natural disasters. Next, in the story, it mentions, “You know how hot it was today? A hundred and five. It’s unbelievable (68).” A hundred and five! I can’t image what the weather looks like. It’s “unbelievable” (68)! Back to our life, we should protect our earth by changing habits daily. For instance, we should use clean energy instead of oil or coal, we should go for a walk or take the public transportation instead of driving a car, and we should plant more

The earth as we know it is spiraling towards extinction and the main enemy is overpopulation. Because of the increase in humans and their innate ability to destroy what its’ resources we could possibly lose our world as we know it. The balance in our living systems versus the population is not equal. We in America tend to live for right now, with little or no regard for our future. Can we change? What must we do to change? Let us

Our earth, where we are born, where we grow, where we live, is our home. We as humans interconnect with the environment by influencing and affecting each other. Our responsibility is to cherish and take care of our home. We are stewards over the earth and we should preserve the earth and its natural resources, but we cannot have a reliable planet if populations are growing out of control. E.O. Wilson said, “We are in a bottleneck of over population and wasteful consumption that could push half of the Earth’s species to extinction in this century.” (1)

This makes me think of this quote “To Know Where You Are Going, You Must Know Where You Came from”. I believe that is important to know your facts in order to be able to realize what must be done in order to solve the issue. Prediction that there will be 9 billion people by 2050 is a scary thought. It is time to think now how to prevent it from happening and what to do if that does happen. The more people we have the more issues there will be on this planet, is it already congested with pollution as is. I do believe that if we all work together in making this planet a clean environment we can make it better by 2050. I don’t agree that not having children is a solution, they are not the

Your day has been great so far. You went on vacation, you found a dollar bill on the floor, you ate your favorite dish, nothing can be better than this. As soon as you walk on the boardwalk you are hoping to see big waves and fish in the sea, instead, you see dead fish and some animals floating in the water next to old car tires, trash, and fertilizer. Now you feel terrible and want to go home. Pollution is devastating. The reason why I researched this topic is that I do not want my family nor my planet to get sick. Pollution can be stopped very easily, it’s just that people “don’t know” how to stop or they just don’t care, which is a serious problem. I want people to see that pollution is mainly caused by humans, and also for them to see that it is a horrible thing that is happening. Some kids litter because they see their parents and their whole family doing it. When I was researching this topic, I noticed that I needed to find out more information, so I asked questions to myself. When did pollution get so bad? How many animals have gone extinct because of pollution? How many people die each year because of pollution? How much does everyone on the planet pollute each year? What is the best way to stop pollution? Can just one person make a difference? After a lot of research, I found out lots of ways that we can stop pollution, so it is possible to end it. Or at least improve the air.

Climate change could have a minor to severe impact on our environment in the future, and it is becoming a relative issue for today’s culture to focus on. Opposing sides claim the planet has, and will undergo changes in interminable life cycle. However, the argument has shifted over time to question not the planet’s ability to handle these changes, but the lives that inhabit it. As the population of the human race spikes, so does the waste we create and the amount of resources we consume. The planet will someday become an unsafe living environment for humanity; entirely depleted of

Opening/Attention: Have you ever heard or the saying “the world is coming to an end”? Has it ever crossed your mind that this statement could be true? Scientists claim every so often that the world will end due to natural causes. Even though years have passed and nothing dramatically has occurred, slowly and slowly, the world is dying. Everyday millions of animals are going extinct, due to natural causes. Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is all because the world is increasingly changing, and one by one, nothing and no one will be left. Did you ever wonder about how the earth looked before? Did it ever cross your mind that earth could have been way healthier before the world’s population increased. I am here to talk to you about more interesting facts, causes, reasons to help and the future outcomes to understand that for future generations children won 't be able to witness what you have due to the seriousness of this issue.

Environmental problems are something which belongs to nature or known as “Mother Earth” [13]. Nature was created to help people survive from gathering foods until build a house. This phenomenon happens continuously without thinking how much damage that nature has because human’s fault. Nature gradually becomes worse and animal’s life in danger. People who are aware of the importance of nature react. Those people do several ways to save the environment. Although these efforts can return back the environment, these efforts only can be hold temporarily. This problem happens because those people who are aware of the environment only slightly; for remaining, there are people either do not know or do not care about the nature. People’s efforts

This planet is home to seven billion people, and as the population still increasing, so does pollution. The debate associated with this contamination on the environment has to do with how much should be done to stop pollution, and whether or not this is a serious enough issue to be concerned with. Well, this issue should disturb people. The most frightening point about it is that these poisonous impurities infect the Earth in multiple forms, including air pollution and water pollution. The value of Earth is incomparable, and the presence of pollution devaluing it needs to be stopped because it impairs the environment, negatively affects human health, and it is something avoidable people can take simple, effective steps to prevent.

As many people know, many issues are going around the world. People are living with along environmental issue, social issue, personal issue, and more. Each issue can be important for a person while can be unnecessary to the others. Also, some people try to solve those issues while the others do not care. However, the global issues around the world are the most serious and concerning problems. According to Globe scan, 64% out of 25,000 people said environmental issue is the most serious problem. Like other issues, environmental issue is a growing problem around the whole world. Some people know and say that humans have to save the Earth, but how many of them actually keep those rules to save it? For that reason, environmental issue is an
