Pollution

Pollution is one of the main causes of global warming. Human activities bring almost disadvantages to nature.
Industry is responsible for CO2 emissions, which cause global warming and consequently climate change. Some species are able to survive in different conditions but on the other hand others can’t.
Some people don’t believe that climate change is related with human activities, but that’s not true. Scientists believe we are the cause of climate change and so do I… To me the only way to solve this problem is reduce pollution.
So in order to combat this problem we need adapt some measures, like:

• Reduce emissions of gases;
• Reduce waste from householders;
• Save water, for example, close the tap when we don’t need;
• Recycle.

Endagered species

Human been has been compromised a lot of species because sometimes we destroy habitats in order to satisfy our needs.
Over exploration of species is one of the main causes of extinction but isn’t the only one. Destroying habitats is also a very important cause.
I’m against hunting, because is not fair kill an animal just to sell their skin and their teed. Hunting shouldn’t be allowed!
If we don’t stop hunting animals in risk of extinction, in the future a lot of species will be compromised, our including.
We need respect all the rules and respect animals because to survive we need them, so it’s necessary ensure species preservation.

Domestic Waste

Domestic waste is waste from householders. This waste can’t be recycled or reuse. This garbage contains glass, metal, plastic and paper, could also contain medicines and toxic products.
We can recycle this garbage but we can reduce and reuse. That’s the importance of the three R’s.
Reduce
The first R is very important to reduce the amount of waste, for example don’t buy products that we don’t need or that we don’t going to use very often.
Reuse
Instead of throw away things that we think we don’t need anymore, we should try use them again. I always try write on both sides of paper sheet.
Recycle
I think it’s our obligation separate all the products that can be recycled. In school we learn how to recycle, so we don’t have excuse.
Let’s go save the planet!
It’s so simple…

Rainforest destruction

One of the causes of rainforest destruction is deforestation. Humanity in order to satisfy our necessities have been cutting down trees, in consequence hundreds of forests have been becoming extinct.
According to WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) forests cover more than 33.000.000 Km2 of Earth surface. Between 80’s and 90’s over 150000 km2 of forest have been destroyed.
We use wood to supplies our energy necessity and the land to cultivate food or build factories.
If we keep doing this we will destroy ecosystems, put in danger some species and aggravate global warming because trees recycle the air and give us oxygen.
If we act together and stop cutting down trees probably the future will be much better.

What I do to make a difference?

I give a lot of importance to environmental threats. I think all human been should help to solve these problems that we are fighting like: greenhouse effect, global warming and pollution.
Personally, I do some little things that I think in the future will make some difference. At home I taught my parents the importance of recycling and now everybody do it. Even in my office’s aunt recycling is something really important.
I hate see rubbish on the floor so I don’t let anyone throw away things in my presence.
To save energy I turn of the lights when I leave the room and I also don’t let the TV on stand-by.
Every time I take a bath or wash my teed I close the tap in order to save water.
I write on both sides of paper sheets because trees are very important to recycle the air.
These little things that I do are easy and everybody can do it. So do it!

Hunger in Africa

Africa is the second most-populous continent, around 922 million people live in Africa.

We all heard news about this continent in TV, everybody in developed countries know what’s happening, but almost no one does something to reverse the situation.

Every year, hundreds of kids become slaves, die before their fifth birthday from water-related diseases such as cholera and diarrhea. Can you imagine?

For us, who never felt truly hunger it’s almost impossible imagine a kid dying of malnutrition. Well, the truth is that it’s happening RIGHT NOW…

Why African people face food shortage?

I suppose because wars, political corruption, diseases like HIV and an enormous population growth.

What can we do to change the situation?

There are a lot of organizations that help these people, but they are not doing enough to end hunger.

We have to work together and help all the countries who need us.
