1. What is the greenhouse effect?

What effect does it have on our

planet?
A: The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in
Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. This process makes Earth
much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere, and is a
serious problem that me and my colleagues are trying to fight.
According to the scientists, greenhouse effect provokes heat
waves, rainfall becomes more intense and the sea level rises.
2. Why are our forests disappearing so fast? What consequences will
this bring?
A: Ladies and gentlemans it is obvious why we are discussing this
matter but instead of taking the blame or blaming our
government we need to figure out how to end this problem. How to
act. Maybe my colleagues didn't make the best decision about
cutting down trees to build infrastructure but with me everything
will be different. This is the decade that will determine the future.
The science is clear: we only can fight while we have oxygen. We
are already dealing with the consequences but it is not too late.
Remember this phrase: it is not too late.
3. Food shortage is a serious problem we are currently facing. How do
you think this problem could be solved?
A: This problem is directly linked with overpopulation and to fight I
will propose president Marcelo to increase the prices. Of course
many people live on the budget but have food for everyone, some
of them will be sacrificate. Probably you are thinking that I am
crazy but if we don't increase the prices people will buy more than
necessary and many people will die because they go to the
supermarket to buy the essential goods and don't have any.
Sometimes we need to sacrifice to live.
4. Do you think that ecology and the state of our health are connected?
How?
A: If health is the balance between the organism and the
environment, with the imminence of climate changes, the
ecological crisis will have an effect on the healthy crisis. Seeing
this, I promise that the government will do everything that we can
to reverse climate changes and give a better lifestyle. Besides
that, I promise that in the next meeting of the parliament that is
the first topic to approach.
5. Why is it not safe nowadays to drink water from rivers/streams?
What can be done about this?
A: Most of the scientists would agree that rivers are contaminated
with chemicals. Besides that, it is a way to promote local
commerce. To solve this problem, maybe wwtp could treat the
 rivers waters. However if that is possible it would be necessary to
create new rules to pay for that water.
6. Does mankind need as much protection as animals and the
environment do?
That it is obvious because without mankind, there's no one to
treat the animals and the environment.
7. How can we guarantee that we all live long and healthy lives on
Planet Earth?
We can´t. Not when we argue with those who want to help. Because
to survive we need each other and trust the ones who are in
charge. However, the future is unpredictable, I promise that I will
do all I can to ensure that we all have a long and healthy life.
8. Is water shortage a serious problem nowadays? How can it be solved?
If we think in underdeveloped countries it is a problem. However, if
we think in Portugal, it is not so problematic. Our WWTP makes
sure that we have an illimitate stock of water. In countries that
may not be able to have such a system improve the plumbing
would be a great idea to solve this problem.
9. What is being done to solve our planet from an ecological disaster?
Me and my colleagues are discussing about restore key
ecosystems, give a bonus to small farmers. Of course to make that
happen, it will take a long time because we need to meet the
budget that we have each year. So we are moving to have a better
planet but it is clear for everyone that it is not easy to make things
from night to day.
10. How can we personally contribute to cleaning up our planet?
Like I said before, the government are trying to help the planet.
Besides that we are promoting a campaign that gives rewards to
those who contribute to cleaning up our planet. And we have the
goal to reverse global warming by 2030.
