Global Warming!

Earth is facing many environmental issues right now. Water pollution, air pollution, rainforest destruction, and many others. We, as humans, are the ones who are causing all this damage on Earth. If we continue throuwing garbage in the rivers, and using a lot of cars, our world will look like a garbage deposit. It will be al gray and horrible. Though, one of the most imoprtant thing we have to worry about is the water. Water is getting contaminated in many ways.

Water pollution is one of the biggest problems right now. Water is our number one natural resource we need in order to survive. All humans, animals, and plants need it. Humans use it in many ways. Wash vegetables to eat, taking baths, washing our cars, drink, prepare food, and many others, while the plants need them in order to grow, and reproduce. From plants we get glucose, and oxygen. Also we feed from plants, and animals too. Animals need the plants healthy so they can eat them and us, humans, feed from theml. The water for them is also important. In hot days, they drink some water to stay hidratated. It's all a big chain. Water gets polluted when throwing bottles into the ocean. Not only bottles but all our waists, including poop and pee. Fish eats all of this, and almost all the population on Earth eats fish. Imagine how many contaminants and waist we are introducing in our body.

We know the water cycle. It rains, all the water from the rain flows down a river into the ocean, and then, it evaporates again into the sky and rains again. Well, this cycle sometimes includes pollution. All the chemicals that are in the ocean, like wastes from factories or hotels, evaporates too into the sky. Now, what happens next is that that water becomes acid rain. This acid rain will affect humans, and animals. Unfortunately, land animals drink that water, and fish and all the
underwater animals live on that polluted water. They all drink that and affects them by giving them diseases, and sometimes, even though they don't die, fishers still fishing them, and we (people) eat them...Thanks to that we get sick too. This is the polluted water cycle.

We humans are the ones who causes all the damage on Earth. Without the water we can't live. We need it in order to survive! Even animals because we feed from them! What we can do is use less water. When wasing our cars, use a bucket instead of a hose. We can also use a bucket when having a shower while the water is heating up, and that water use it to water the plants. Something we can do to not contaminate the water is put all the garbage in the right spot, and when going to the beach, instead of trowing it into the ocean, through it in a garbage can, and if there is no garbage can, hold it until you find one. Also, instead of trowing the kitchen oil in the sink, put it in a plastic bag and through it in the gabage can. Other thing is that the factories should consider throwhing all their chemical waste to other place instead of the ocean. This are some ways to help the water, our environment, our world.
All of the last might sound impossible, but if we all try, by one bye, we can make the difference. Our world is suffering many changes because of all the harm we do to it. Nature is just responding to our agressions, and uncaring behavior. We HAVE to start caring about our world. WE need the water in order to survive. We are ending up with it, and in a future we wont have any left. All of it will be contaminated and dirty. Start changing your life and save the world! Don't contaminate the water anymore!!

  1. In this everlasting blog-post you provided the reader with some information on the cause you support. However, your main argument is that we need water. I agree with this but it's also true that air and air pollution are just as terrible. They are both pollutants of life. Of the earth itself. This is very rarely acknowledged by society: there's so much each individual can do! So thank-you.

  2. I don't think that cars are a major cause of contamination. What I agree with you is that water pollution is the number one problem in the world. Yes, life depends on water. The entire ecosystem is based on water. Also what I agree with, is that we are the ones who contaminate the most. We must do something about it.

  3. Sofi: I agree with your topic. Global Warming is also affecting a lot our ecosystem. We really need to do something about it. I also think that water pollution is one of the biggest enviromental issue, and if we don't do something quick, then we are not going to be able to have this RELEVANT resource.
    Great essay!

I mean i know its soooooooooo large and it probbalby has lots of words, but true words. And right words.Honest words that are telling us what to do and what not to do!

  5. Sofia, you did a great job in your essay. I don't think that cars affect and contaminate. But, your information was great. You essay was very interesting and I could tell that you put a lot of effort. You wrote a lot, you have a lot of creativity. We would not survive with-ought water. We really need to do something about this major problem! I would love to it to stop! But, if we want it to stop we have to help!

  6. Sofi, your essay is great. However, I don´t think it has one point in general. Still, all your points are completely true. We humans need water to survive and all kinds of stuff. Therefore, we should PROTECT the water; however, we humans are the ones who are actually destroying the little water we have left today. For your essay, you should also re check it to see if you have any mistakes. Ask someone else to proof read it for you. Keep up the great job, I´m lovin it. ;)
