I think the enviromental issues are too important to ignore like deforestation, pollution, plastic trash, and so on. Because human have explored the natural resoures increasingly in daily life, the lack of knowlegde about the environment,... The action is affect the enviroment like cut down trees to take wood, throw trash everywhere on the street, the smoke from cars, factories. What the human are doing is detroying this planet without hesitation.

In my opinion, we should not ignore any environmental issues. The most important environmental issue in my mind right now is plastics waste. We can not deny that items which make by plastic support much in our lives, and we gradually depend on it. However, the impact of plastic waste is too high. It directly affects our living environment. It is not only polluting the water, but it also kills some kinds of wild animals. Therefore, I think we have to think carefully about using plastic things which are not necessary, to reduce the plastic waste problem.

Volatile organic compounds such as phosphorus, nitrogen and ammonia compounds are the chemicals used in cleaning and laundry products nowadays. We use these chemicals mainly for removing dirt from the floor or dishes and softening our clothes fabric. However, besides its positive effects on our daily life, chemical compounds are very harmful for the environment. After being flushed down to the drain, these chemicals will flow straight to the sea because of the lacking in the wastewater treatment process. From that lead to the excess growth of blue-green algae which poisoning the water and killing marine life.

What environmental issues do you think are too important to ignore? Why?

From my perspective, I think that one of the most concerning environmental issues is deforestation. With the rise in the population of the Earth, people are more likely to cut trees for more land. Moreover, people are now aware of the harmful effects of the plastic bag, that means more paper are needed to replace plastic in wrapping and take-away. And recently, the Amazon rainforest-the lung of the Earth, is burned by human, led to the unstoppable fire spreading rapidly. I'm worried that if everyone doesn't acknowledge this problem soon, we may not have enough fresh air to breath in the future.

Global warming is one of the most important environmental issues today. This issue is viewed as being caused by air pollution, forest burning, etc. In my opinion, forest burning is the most important issue that humans need to take seriously from now onwards. The rate of burning forests is increasing every year by accident, for agriculture and another factors. In addition, burning forests directly affects the atmosphere and life of wildlife. Trees are the main source of Oxigen and absorb Carbon dioxide that give life for the whole species in the world. We need to put in place effective measures to overcome this problem to minimize the rate of forest burning every year.

3. Global warming has been the most controversial topic in the recent years because of its direct impacts on our lives, therefore, there is a great number of follow-up theories about its causes. The first and the most popular one is the belief that it is human beings who are destroying the Earth. According to NASA, a research conducted by 1,300 independent scientific experts all over the world concluded that: there is a more than 95 percent probability that human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet. Secondly, a smaller number of people prefer to link the changes in climate with natural sources. Some examples for these would be water vapor, carbon dioxide or methane since on the condition that human beings exist or not, they are still active. However, from my perspective, all the climatic consequences are attributable to man’s actions, because not only have we depleted Earth’s resources, but we have also increased the rate of which the planet destroys itself.
