Over The years the planet has been changing. Humans are a huge part of that change. The impact that humans have on the planet is not good at all, because of our species; the ozone is thinning from all the air pollution. The astronauts are making the ozone layer even thinner by breaking it open as they travel through it to get to planets. There’s a garbage patch in the middle of the Pacific Ocean bigger than two football fields. The water is no longer safe in some places to drink because of the oil spills. It’s not only bad for us, it is worse for the fish and marine animals that are dying every minute. We kill trees to make, the very paper I’m writing on now, so that we can build factories, homes and businesses.
We can change the impact we have on our planet, but we choose to continue to pollute the air with our cars and factories. We choose to continue to throw our garbage out and not recycle. We choose to continue to drill oil. We choose to drill for gold. We choose to drill for silver. We choose to let the marine animals die because of the toxins we put into the water. We choose to continue to cut down trees to make paper, homes, factories, and businesses. It’s our choice, but are we making the right one? No!
Our impact on the planet has caused a great deal of problems. We can recycle. We can drill for gold, silver, oils, and diamonds less. We can stop cutting down trees. We can be more active on a daily basis, like riding a bike or walking. We can walk up and down the stairs instead of using an elevator or an escalator. We can use cars that are solar. We can use street cars. We can be less materialistic. We can choose a different lifestyle!
All you have to do is stop and protest air pollution. Stop and minimize the garbage you are throw away. Stop water pollution and help people who need water to survive. Stop and minimize your use of paper. Stop
