İzmir is a clean city in general, but it could definitely be cleaner. For this, people need to be more conscious and careful. If we want to find a place clean, we must leave it clean. This applies both to our city where we live and to our school. That's why sustainability is important fot our lives.

I love İzmir but İzmir is hotter than ever now because the climate is changing so it's effect us too much . Many people live here so everyone have to be carefully . İzmir is one of the most crowded city in Turkey . There is too many historical artifacts have . When it's about my school , ı love my school . My school is in Konak . In the first time it's was just for girls but then it's been for everyone .

Sustainability is very important . Because if we don't save our environment, next generations will be badly affected.For example if we don't purify the factories waste water will be pollute and water resources decrease.

Sustainability has 3 basic components; environmental protection, economic growth and social development. Sustainability is very important. Because natural resources can run out and this will affect next generations badly. Therefore, we must protect the environment and use resources economically.

Our school is a very old building so it's full of history. There are tons of rumors about its past uses; a hideout for soldiers, a hospital and even containing a secret tunnel to Atatürk Lisesi, which is located in Alsancak. We also have old objects that are on display at the entrance, our library is full of books and newspapers that are from hundreds of years ago. İzmir as a city is not different either. Being home to so many different people and cultures, İzmir is a city full of history that is earning new memories every single day while maintaining the old ones. But if we want to continue having this environment we need to take action.

Sustainability has become a very important problem that we need to face as human beings. Past generations used the resources of our world irresponsibly. But that does not mean we can't save our world. Having tons of accumulated problems that are connected to each other actually can help us be more effective with those problems.

Our solutions should not be only for us, our family, our neighborhood, or our country. They are for the whole world. That means even by baby steps we can make a change but not a big one. Fixing our daily mistakes can take us only a little far however to make a big change we as a society need 4 things: protection, education, projects, and progress.

We need protection before starting to take action. Maintaining our remaining resources, keeping them safe and clean would help us understand their problems. Using them wisely will help us protect and save time -so we wouldn't be in a rush to find new ones- taking samples from them will help us develop future projects to do it permanently.

Education is the key to protect development. We need to educate younger generations about the world's current state and how to help it. Educating the elder generations will help them understand their past mistakes. While educating everyone we will actually be doing social growth, raising awareness about our issues will have everyone participating in future projects.

Projects are the main problem solver in our situation because we are not in a state that we can just solve the problem by stopping the causes of it. Using the data we can get from our remaining sources, new ideas that are born from any part of the world, and constant investigations for our issues will stop the preparation stage and start the progress.

Progress will be the state of growth for our world. Completing the first three steps, improving our solutions, and maintaining this process will save our world and keep us sustainable.
