I agree with Terri Swearingen that we are living on this planet as if we had another one to go to. Nowadays people more and more have stopped to think about the future of our planet. They are building more factories,cut down forests which are the lungs of our planet, without thinking that all leads to a gradual destruction of the planet. Of course they don't think about all the worse when in place of felled forests to build factories. Because they get money for it. But money can't solve all environmental problems that we ourselves create. We take from nature all but give nothing in return. All the actions that man does harm nature, does harm to himself. We all think that nothing can happen and just destroy everything that helps us to live on this planet. But the only thing that we must all understand is that we don't have another planet we could live. There is only one and we must support the life of the planet.
ОтветитьУдалитьI agree with John F.Kennedy:The supreme reality of our time is ...the vulnerability of our planet.Оur planet can not resist our actions.She's defenseless.All the problems on our planet because of people and their activities. We destroy plants and animals, we consume minerals, destroy the azon layer, pollute the atmosphere and oceans.We destroy everything that surrounds us, as they say, " themselves your own grave".We do anything without thinking about our future and our planet. Our planet is defenseless, and we do not even try to protect it. We must protect it and everything that is on it. We live on it and only us decide what it will be. So let's think about what we are doing and how this will affect our future. Let's protect, not destroy our land!
ОтветитьУдалитьI agree with the phrase, that the supreme reality of our time is ...the vulnerability of our planet. Our planet is very vulnerable today. But why our planet is so vulnerable? Firstly, it is connected with the pollution of environment. There are
ОтветитьУдалитьmany types of environmental pollution.For example, air pollution and radioactive contamination. Secondly,it is a global warming. The temperature of our planet is increasing faster and faster. And I think it is a big problem in our time. And the last, I think it is an extinction of biodiversity. Many species of animals and plants are disappearing. Humans are cutting down the trees, poachers are killing the animals, so it leads to big problems, and people don't understand this fact. All this problems are interdependent. To prevent vulnerability of our planet people shuold to do something for it. For example, people can to reduse using fuel and building factories. They can plant more trees, flowers and so on. Also, people need to understand that killing animals can lead to their extinction. If animals bacame extinct, people would suffer too. So, we need protect them, but not kill. And finally I would like to say that we MUST care about our environment and do everything we can to protect it,because the environment affects people's life.
I agree with Terry Swearingen about the fact that we are living on this planet as if we had another one to go to.
ОтветитьУдалитьPeople who live on planet Earth are just guests. And the planet itself is the mistress, who took us in pure form. But people decided to set their rules on a visit. People started building factories, throwing trash on the street, driving cars, cutting down forests and fighting. And all this for convenience. For our convenience.But do we think about the mistress herself? Do you like it? And how can she react to this in a year? People do not understand that by their actions they are harming themselves. They do not understand that they can not move to another place, if something happens. We must keep our planet clean and tidy. Because at one point "hostess" can put all the guests behind the door because of their impudence.
Dear guests of this planet, behave carefully, culturally and do not put your order. Otherwise, someone will come to visit you.
I have chosen this quote "we are living on this planet as if we have another one to go to" because our attitude to the environment
ОтветитьУдалитьis careless. We don't care what will happen when we pollute the air, water, cut down trees. And it is a huge problem. Every day we are increasingly killing our planet without even thinking about what we are doing. Soon our world will turn into a landfill filled with garbage. Is this what we really want? PEOPLE PLEASE STOP! Think about the consequences. Let's recycle the rubbish! Do you want to breathe fresh air? Say stop deforestation! Do you want to drink clean water? Say stop water pollution! Do you want to walk with your pet? Say stop animals extinction! Let's create a campaign to save our planet! Because it is the only one.
I agree with Carl Sagan that the universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition because human ambition is too high. Man considers himself the most intelligent being in the universe and it is his fault. But the universe does not forgive mistakes .Especially when people are trying to break the laws of physics. Which principle is impossible to break.The universe molds our ambitions. It molds them indirectly, because we are forced to change our ambitions to follow it. The universe has set many definite laws that are impossible to break. That's the point of laws. They're made to be followed, and in the realm of science, laws of the universe cannot be broken, regardless of human ambition. Defying gravity by yourself is impossible, because the universe states that it is not.Human ambition simply cannot be out of line with the universe simply because it is impossible to do so. We dismiss these things, such as swimming to the bottom of the sea, or flying, out of hand, because we know that they are impossible, and adjust our ambitions accordingly.
ОтветитьУдалитьThe most interesting quote belong to Ralph Nader <>. People who have oil buisness, have so much money. They can do everything to promote oil and oil production. So, this people spend part of their money to outshine companies that associated with alternative energy. When people discovered oil, they forget finding new ways of alternative energy. But now, people start use solar, wind , warm energy becouse that ways are more safe for the environment. Now countries just can use alternative energy, and soon people forget about oil, if the oil not end.
ОтветитьУдалитьI absolutely agree with the- Terri Swearingen’s saying “ We are living on this planet as if we had another one to go to”. Nowadays people are not aware about what they are doing for our planet. They do harm to themselves, built many factories which contaminate the air, leading to depletion, they cut down forests as if it is easy for trees to grow quickly. They make soil infertile. People make money on our planet without any understanding that there is nothing without difficult consequences. People should stop damaging our planet, should think about recycling. I do not want to live in the landfill.
ОтветитьУдалитьI agree with Terry Swearingen that We are living on this planet as if we had another one to go to.It's true, we only have one planet and we must do everything to protect her. The future of our family depends on us , and their future depends on our help our planet . We have to stop deforestation, water pollution and so on. We must begin to recycle and reuse. It's not so hard to sort the trash.
ОтветитьУдалитьNeed to toughen the punishment for poaching , because thousands of animals are killed daily in many countries. How many animals are on the verge of extinction. Yes, it is possible to understand and poachers, if they did not have problems with money, they might not have to kill these animals. But this problem should be solved by the government. Well, those animals that are on the verge of extinction must be protected. And it's only a few problems. If everyone would do at least a small step towards improving the environment, we will achieve great results.

ОтветитьУдалитьI agree with this quote "we are living on this planet as if we have another one to go to". People treat the planet horribly. They invented cars, factories, without thinking about the planet. All this emissions are influence on the ozone layer, greenhouse effect, global warming. It has been estimated that if greenhouse gas emissions continue at the present rate, Earth's temperature could exceed historical values as early as 2047, with potentially harmful effects on ecosystems, biodiversity and people worldwide. How Terri Swearingen said, in a couple of decades we are going to move on another planet. But now we haven't a chance of life on the another planet. So, people MUST VALUE this planet! If people cut down forests, they should plant trees. Also people should think about the future generation and what we will leave them. To sum up, if everyone does something: plant a tree or stop using deodorant, we will unite and save our planet!
