This relates to the environment since the Flint River was not kept clean. It had been polluted by people, therefore making the natural process of water filtering not effective. If the river was clean they would have faced less problems, this put into perspective how people should start to care more about the environment because it can effect them negatively also. This makes me frustrated that the problems of the river being unkempt was only brought to attention once it started creating problems for the people. Once this problem was recognized they didn’t acknowledge the river. They focused on getting clean from somewhere else instead of fixing the source itself. 

In this article I personally felt that the cons out weighed the pros of construction project in Jakarta Bay. There is no getting back the wildlife that they are destroying, they are building on top of ocean habitats so they can have more land space. Moving people from the city to the islands will help the environment once it is done, but the building of the islands will create more problems that cannot be fixed. It is upsetting that once again people put themselves in a position to harm the environment to make conditions more comfortable for themselves. 

Fossil fuels have become very important to this generation, and they will remain important. We have found something that helps making activities for us easier. Fossil fuels cannot just disappear or go out of use, I think that we should not put them over certain things can damage our environment. We have all been taught the effects of water pollution and global warming, it takes awhile to resolve the problems that they cause and some are not reversible.  

I think that such a small thing such as a new soap molecule being made can have a dramatic effect on the environment. Once people start using the eco friendly soap we will have less polluted water. I don’t think that many people understand the fact that such a small thing can have such a big impact. Over time I have learned how much one person can affect the environment, if one family changed their soap to this one it can even make a difference. Since people have recently been leaning toward everything organic this will be a big change. 

I find it very scary the amount of endangered species that are at risk of going extinct because of human behavior. We have watched the numbers dwindle down until they are at a critical point or until they no longer exist. Many of these species have an impact on the environment, every living things plays a part in our world. I am a big animal advocate and I think that we should take all measures to preserve all species of animals, especially the ones that are mainly caused by human effects. 

Global warming is going getting worse as time goes on, I personally do not think that enough measures are being taken to change this. Global warming has affected countless environmental things, some which cannot be fixed now. Polar bears are mainly going extinct because of humans, we increase global tremendously. It is unfair how other species have to suffer from our lack of caring.
