Nowadays there are many problems related to the environment that need to be solved. We think that the most important ones are the global warming and deforestation. It’s important to end global warming because of all the animals that are in danger like the polar bears whose habitat is being destroyed. 🧊🐻‍❄️
It also causes the raise of temperatures, more severe storms and increase drought.
Deforestation causes forest loss. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and when they are cut off they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases which is very bad for our health.
In conclusion we, Humans, are the main cause of the destruction of our planet and we must do everything we can to take care of it.
We have no planet B so we need to preserve our beautiful and stunning home. ❤️🌏❤️

Nowadays society in general does not give importance to having a more sustainable planet.
If we all join hands to save the planet, we should start by avoiding doing things that harm our well being and the planet.
In our opinion, the problem that has the most emphasis is climate change, which causes severe drought or flooding. Intertwined with climate change we also have forest destruction caused by fires, pollution and floods.
If we joined hands we would have a healthier planet and a more sustainable life.🌳🌏

Currently our planet is experiencing loads of problems that contribute to its destruction, unfortunately many of these problems are at the hands of men.
The problems that we will address and suggest a possible solution will be: climate change and deforestation.
Climate change does not only affect us humans, but also ends up destroying biodiversity and respective habitats. To fight this problem we propose replacing fossil fuels by renewable energy and changing industrial processes, because by making these changes we can reduce emissions of CO2.
As for deforestation, we suggest the conservation of what remains of the natural forests, and the recovery of degradated areas with the replanting of native species, because, by preserving the forests, we manage to maintain biodiversity, preserve the habitats, protect the "lung" of the planet since forests are also natural reservoirs that keep carbon out of the atmosphere and oceans.
With these proposals and their application, we emphasize again that we can still save our planet, our home,as we have no other.

If everyone joined hands in order to save the earth, the first problems to be solved would be: climate change; the increase of greenhouse gases; and pollution.
Climate change is one of the current threats to sustainable development, jeopardizing the safety of population. This is the responsibility of human activities that change atmospheric concentrations! Some measures to be adopted to avoid the expansion of this problem: keeping fossil fuels in the soil, reducing methane emissions (with technical solutions), investing in renewable energies, investing in tree planting and reducing the burning and cutting down of trees.
As for the greenhouse effect, we can say that it is essential for the existence of life on earth. However, human beings have enjoyed this phenomenon. This is responsible for maintaining global average temperatures avoiding large thermal oscillations... We can avoid this by reducing the use of private transportation on short journeys by choosing public transport or bicycles, using biodegradable products and encouraging collective collection.
All these problems result in air, soil or wat erpollution.
In short, we must all opt for a healthier, more sustainable life and protect our earth ecosystem.

Environmental problems are increasingly having a greater impact these days.
Due to the inappropriate behavior of most of the population, our planet is polluted. One of our biggest problems is the same: pollution.
We we haven´t created a recycling routine yet. We use products with plastic, we throw garbage on the floor, among others. This ends up causing problems, such as climate change, the death of several animals as a result of plastic that they accidentally consumed, there is even a plastic island.
Another big problem is deforestation, to build new buildings for housing, commerce or work, forests are deforested, although we need them for oxygen. Deforestation also creates some endangered species, by cutting their trees and destroying their natural habitat.
If these behaviors continue, this will get worse, we need to change to a better environment.

Iif everyone joined efforts to save the Earth, the first problem to be dealt with should be water pollution.
There are several problems associated with water such as scarcity, due to droughts, pollution of the oceans, either by oil spills or discharge of sewers. I
f everyone contributed, we should improve our water resources management, make campaigns to teach and not to waste water.
In addition, if we can avoid these oil spills, and sewers discharges we could reuse ocean water for our own consumption.🤍

Nowadays our society is very affected by environmental problems, for that we must take precautions and stop polluting. In first place, I think we must give importance to the lack of water and the destruction of forests.
To stop and prevent the lack of water, we must turn off the taps whenever we are not using them and take shorter showers to use as little water as possible. do not leave the faucet open at maximum and use only when necessary
To fight forest destruction, we must cut down fewer trees and replant more, because just by cutting down trees we are destroying thousands of habitats and depriving millions of animals of their homes. .
In short, we will all have to come together and do this together.
