Course Theme
People today are too wasteful. Things are used too excessively and often the long term effects are forgotten. Already we have cities with air that is black from pollution. Some bodies of water are so polluted that all the animals and organisms living in it are dying. Forests are being destroyed, and more and more species of animals are becoming endangered. We need to be more conscientious and keep in mind that we do today affects what happens tomorrow and so on. Some people are doing their part and trying to raise awareness, but more people need to follow in their foot steps in order for a real change to be made. Some people are already using their power against land and animals by destroying environments and ruining habitats. Others have tried and failed to control other people. This has led to genocides and wars. Thankfully more and more leaders are communicating peacefully. Hopefully most others will follow suit so war and violence will become a last resort.

I agrees that the worls uses entirely too many resourse and that they do not respect the world around them. It's good that the world is trying to turn itself around. I hope your right about war being a last resort.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that we take advantage of the earth we live on but what concerns me more is what we are doing to change it. As time passes we learn more and more about what is harmful and helpful to our earth. In the 1930s American's used the streets as toilets and pollution has been going on since the beginning of time. Now that we have recognized these as harmful things we are trying to change our old habits but we aren't taking large enough strides. I believe that in order for us to make a difference for our planet we need to make some substantial changes.
