Global warming has been an issue for years now. Things are changing right before our eyes. There are more natural disasters than ever.
If you take a map back in the 1800s-1900s to 2000- 2010, there is a big decrease in trees. Developers are cutting down forest with no forethought or remorse. There are some forests that are protected but, what about the rest?
Just like we need a home, woodland creatures need a home too. Imagine if one day, we come home and find that our house was torn down.
Decreases in trees are not even half the problem though. There is also pollution from almost everything. The air and bodies of water are filled with trash from people who don’t consider the consequences of their actions. They might think that the one candy bar wrapper that they dropped to the ground won’t make a difference, but it will.
People of 2010 are now doing little things to help the environment, like using less plastic and reusing certain items. You don’t have to go environmentally crazy like reusing your shower water!
If you think about it, you and I live in this world together, right? Right!
This is our home. We need, we should take care of our home like a newborn baby.
We need to protect it and give it the nourishment it needs to be healthy. We have to live on this earth so why not take care of it a little?
