The Environment
The world’s climate is changing and let’s face it, we are probably to blame and we could probably stop it if we all worked together. Global warming is becoming more and more of a problem as the ice caps melt so far away. Temperatures are rising each year and even in my life time I can notice a huge difference just in the amount of snow we get at winter nowadays, compared with how much I remember playing with as a child. Maybe we see the warmer temperatures here in the UK as a blessing; we were never too fond of the cold anyway! This optimistic attitude is however, a little short sighted. It seems that right now everyone is happy just to pass the book; it is always somebody else’s problem.
I think that the problem can be addressed first at a local level, are we recycling, do we drop litter, are we careful with our emissions, do we car pool? These are some simple questions that we can ask ourselves that would help improve our immediate environment, I think that it would take a concerned world wide effort to make any kind of global change.
