I have
just been listening to an article about a new poll, which talked about
environmental problems, at school the other day. I thought you might be
interested about this poll because, it affects everybody.
Basically,
what it says is that youths aged 13 to 18 were interviewed on teens’ attitudes
towards environmental issues.
It is
also said that teens strongly believe that acting now can make move us towards
a solution. 3 out of 4 teens agreed that previous generations have damaged our
environment and left it to their generation to fix it.
In the
article is also mentions that youngsters think, that the best reason to
preserve nature is, because it is for its own sake or to preserve the benefits
people can get from it. When young people are outdoors, the most of them feel
peaceful an free, two of 3 people feel calm and happy and more than a half feel
alive and curious.
What
shocked me most was that the global warming is already a serious problem to
teens and almost nearly half of the polled teens think that global warming is a
extremely or very serious problem.
We also
started a poll in our class and we figured out that Austrian teens would give
similar answers, there are only some little differences. For Austrian teens global
warming is also a very seriously problem and the best reason to preserve nature
is, because it is for its own sake. When Austrian teens are outdoors the most
of them feel peaceful and free and only 1 out of 18 feel alive and curious.
I think
we all can solve some environmental problem, for example pay attention which products
you buy, from where they are and of course take care about the ingredients of
the products. Buy products of your near environment and of the season. These
are only some ideas towards a healthy environment, there are much more.
In my
mind we all should be more careful with our environment, because even the next
generation should also have a nice environment.
What do
YOU think about environmental problems?
I hope
you enjoyed my blog posting and you are going to read my next.
See you
soon,
