Our Environment Today

Our environment is getting worse day by day, and we

are suffering for other peoples and our mistakes. It’s
getting harder and harder for our families to stay
healthy with all the bad things we are around every day.
We are affected by our environment, and more people
are getting sicker and sicker. This could affect our
families and our future one day.

We might not be able to see all of the bad things in our

environment, but they are for sure there. “Although
certain groups are most vulnerable, toxic substances in
the environment affect very person, every day and are
the responsibility of all of us.” (Environment). This
supports my opinion about the cause because it is
saying there are deadly substances in our environment
that we are responsible for. We are getting sick and
dying because of the bad things we as people are doing
to our world. “These health problems killed around
15.000 more victims in the year that followed.
Approximately 100.000 people still suffer from chronic
diseases consequences to gas exposure, today.”
(Environmental). This is also stating the things in our air
are killing us. All of this dangerous toxic is causing
people to get diseases and killing our people we love. If
this keeps going on, our families will struggle to have
families and this will cause our world and environment
to be catastrophic in the future.

All of the bad things are preventable if you just take the
time to think about it. “Most cleaners use a chemical
called perchloroethylene” (PERC), which can pollute
the air in your home. Use water instead. Most clothes
labeled as “dry clean only” can be washed with water.”
(Environment). There are many things our teens and
families can do to help prevent diseases. We could hand
wash our clothes, ride a bike to school or work instead
of a car to prevent pollution and could hurt the
environment. Teens need to do this because they are
the worst about it. All they want to do is hurt the
environment and don't second guess themselves. We
need to change that so our home and economy make
the world a better place.

There can be a solution to helping our environment. If

we reach out to people who don't care about our
environment, we could change their point of view of
things. We could tell them how bad things are in our
world and that could change what their prospective on
things. What could you do to help our world? And how
could we join together as one country to help our world
and make it a better place for all of us to live?

It was good enough , but i have many notes. 1. It was very

immature the way it's describing many things. 2. You skip many
important inmformations. 3. You dont clarify things you should.
4. It gives you an idea that you are talking to us , which is very
good if it was an article and not an essay. Hope my notes will
help you. xoxo Kura.

Today's fire on Notre Dame Cathedral was
absolutely heartbreaking. This beautiful icon of
Paris meant so much to the whole world.
Nos cœurs sont avec les parisiens.
