Statement or Issues:

1. With human population over 7 billion we must protect endangered species habitats by not
developing on them for any reason.

Yes we can protect endangered species habitats by not developing on them for any reason but if the
population increase the demand of cloths, foods, furniture, medicines, and shelter are increasing also.
There’s a habitats of endangered species the needs to develop because human they needs to build a
shelter. Some of species killed because human needs more foods, cloths and medicines. Some of
human they need to cut a tree because they want a unique furniture for the house and to build a
shelter. Some reason are because of economic development , the more city evolve the more job
opportunity for the human. So in this statement I’m disagree because if human population increase,
more basic needs.

3. Even though we are small portion in over 7 million people, we still have responsibility to keep
the Earth healthy; what we do to make difference?

We are strongly agreed. if we are committed. As a youth & global citizen, we have the responsibilities
to our mother earth. Our first role in nature is to reduce our own carbon footprint via eco-friendly
activities. At that point we can form a GREEN ORGANIZATION along with some other energetic youths to
raise awareness in our peer circle, neighborhood and the community about environment sanitation by
changing degradable wastes into compost manure and by 3R principle (reduce, reuse & recycle) of non-
degradable wastes. We can Volunteer for cleanups in our community. We can get involved in protecting
your watershed, too. We are further our own education, so we can help others understand the
importance and value of our natural resources. We have to conserve water. The less water we use, the
less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean. We should choose sustainable. Buy less
plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag. We can plant a tree because trees provide food and oxygen.
They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change. We should avoid sending
chemicals into our waterways. Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office. Subsequently, for
the manageability of our planet, We should guarantee to satisfy our obligations towards Mother Nature
as a worldwide resident in order to shield our living planet from crumbling and to handover clean and
green planet to our people in the future.

4. With over 7 billion people on the planet, water pollution is invetable and we should not waste
money trying to prevent it.
We all know that Water pollution is bad for the atmosphere, people, and animals, and it also limits
fresh water on land. If people aren't careful, and take the limited water for granted, then there may
no longer be any water to use. Salt water distillation is still too expensive to use widely. Until
and until that happens, people need to see how they treat their water and not contaminate it because
that is the number one way to prevent it. Also, if we are talking about to spent a lot of money to prevent
water pollution, we cannot assure it because not all countries are rich. Remember that sometimes we
are facing crisis and disaster situation and there will be an urgent expenses. Again We should guarantee
to satisfy our obligations towards Mother Nature as a worldwide resident in order to shield our living
planet from crumbling and to handover clean and green planet to our people in the future.
