Environmental Awareness

This blog will concentrate on Chapter Seven: What is the importance of environmental awareness and / or environmental activism?

        

        After reading Chapter 7, I decided to write on the importance of environmental awareness. To start with environmental awareness is crucial to us and the earth. We have taken so much from the earth, and we have to give back, or the earth will be no more. You do not need to be an environmental activist to care and do something about our environment. One just needs to be aware of our environment.

       We have a serious problem with the greenhouse effect. It is causes so many changes throughout the world with climate changes. Look at the polar ice caps; they are melting at a high rate of speed. This melting is causing the ocean levels to rise. This rising of ocean water is causing mass flooding to low lying areas.   

          One person can have a lasting effect when it comes to environmental awareness. There is something you can do, no matter how small it may seem to you. Don’t litter the earth is one. Learn to recycle. Proper waste disposal helps out more than you think. You can plant a tree, and help the oxygen levels. These 2 small steps contribute greatly.

The biggest step one can take to conserve our environment, is make people aware of the issue. Education is the key, and it has to start at home. Teach your children from an early age. These small steps ensure care for our environment, and are of great importance to everyone.
