Response to Jared Linekar's Blog about the environment


It was very refreshing to see that somenone had decided that the way we treat our environment is a form of being bad. I totally agree, and think it is about time we took action to care for our planet. Everyone knows the problem of global warming, so why are people still allowed to cut down forests, build concrete jungles and generally kill our homes.

Caring for the planet can begin early on, in the home, by parents teaching their children simple beahviour that shows respect to the people and the world around them. Why do parents allow their offspring to grow up thinking it is alright to carelessly throw rubbish on the floor? It is not alright! And it INFURIATES me.

Why uproot trees from worldwide jungles and plant them in Wolverhampton? Trees need to be planted where they have been taken from for the desired effect to occur. Why do people feel the need to go abroad every year on holiday? There are many beautiful places in Britain that remain undiscovered.

It is everybody's responsibility to care for our world. We all need to take action to do our bit to help the environment. Put your rubbish in the nearest bin, rather than on the floor, recycle as much as is possible, you can re0use much of your household waste by putting it in a compost bin. Everyone can do something to help.
