What is happening
There are lots of things that are happening to the environment, even as you read this. From cars belching smoke, to plastic, most things are our fault.
You know that cars run off of electricity, or gas. The gas being burned releases toxins into the air, clogging up the atmosphere. This causes what is known as global warming. Lots of products that we buy have way to much packaging, and most of it goes to a garbage dump where it just sits there. Most packaging is plastic, which doesn't rot away- also, most of it can be recycled and made into other things. Trees and plants help create oxygen to help us breathe. But lots of trees are being destroyed. They are being cut down to make room for malls and condos, being made into partially un-needed paper products. Also, when we cut down trees, the animals that lived there have to go somewhere else. They would become overcrowded, and end up dying. Lastly, meat. When people want more meat, more animals have to be raised. More animals means more space is needed. More space needed means farmers have to cut down swathes of forest to make room for their animals. In other words, more meats wanted means more trees are cut down. Lots of things are happening to the environment, and we are the cause of it. We need to fix what we broke. We need to help. |
