Think About Our Home: Earth
By Yiler Huang
Last week, Mr. Cheng from EQPF came to talk about environment again. This time, he was talking about the relationship between environment and politics. After I heard his speech, I want to encourage people to care more about environment. Because the environment needs our help, it’s up to the people to educate themselves about the environment. I believe that people are not educated enough about the environment, focusing more on scientific progress over its effects on the environment. So I hope people could know more about environment from education. If we want to educate people more, I think the government should be trying to help mankind, not just for us but for the future generations.
So, What is wrong with the environment now? Here is an example: CO2 emission is at an all time high, causing global warming. Global warming causes extreme weather events, and as time goes on. It will become even more frequent. This affects the wildlife, and makes Earth harder to live on. The reason why this will happen is because of human beings nowadays are so focused on scientific progress, that they fail to look at what it’s doing to our environment. (Example: Plastic being a man made material has caused the deaths of animals as well as marine life through the pollution it has created.)
In order to fix this, people should be more educated on what their actions are doing to the Earth, Just like what I said in the first paragraph. So we need to start from early education to teach students to be more aware. People should know how serious the problem is, and how they can help fix this. The government should also be helping by providing the tools for people to track their contributions to the environment.
I think the government should focus on the future generations because it is what’s needed right now. We need to help people in future and let them know how to fix the problems. Instead focusing on votes, more work should be done to ensure that future generations will have a home to return to. I believe the government should also introduce eco-friendly curriculum in schools to educate students from a young age.
We need to protect the Earth, because we only have one Earth, and it is everyone’s job to preserve it. Our Earth is in danger because of global warming now, so we need to care about it more. I feel that the current education is not enough to make people care, because we need to educate people how serious the problems are. Our government also needs to provide people with the tools and know how to fix the problem. What we need to do right now is: We should open Google and search about the Da Tan natural gas center. Decide your choice about the vote then vote for future generations. It is for protecting us, and also protecting them. Then, we are going to tell people the importance of educating future generations, and try the best to leave a good environment for the future generations.
關心我們的家：地球
上週，EQPF的鄭先生又來介紹環境了。這一次，他講的是環境與政治的關係。聽完他的演講後，我想鼓勵人們更多地關心環境。因為環境需要我們的幫助。我覺得人們對環境的教育不夠，因為我們更多關注在科學的進步而不是科學對環境的影響。所以我希望人們可以從教育中更多地了解環境。如果我們想更多地教育人們，我認為政府應該努力幫助人們，不僅是為了我們，也是為了子孫後代。
那麼，現在的環境有什麼問題嗎？這是一個例子：二氧化碳排放量創歷史新高，導致全球變暖。隨著時間的推移，全球變暖會導致極端氣候。它會變得更加頻繁。會影響到野生動物，並讓地球變得更難生存。之所以會發生這種情況，是因為當今的人類過度關注科學進步，以至於他們沒有看到那些瑣碎的成就是怎樣荼毒了我們的環境。 （例如：塑膠是一種人造材料，它造成的污染導致動物和海洋生物死亡。）
為了解決這個問題，人們應該更多地了解他們的行為對地球的影響，就像我在第一段中所說的那樣。所以我們需要從早期教育開始，讓學生更加清醒。人們應該知道問題有多嚴重，以及他們如何幫助解決這個問題。政府還應該提供幫助，為人們提供工具來跟蹤他們對環境的貢獻。
我認為政府應該關注子孫後代，因為這是現在所需要的。我們需要幫助在未來的人們，讓他們知道如何解決問題。與其專注於選票，不如做更多的工作，以確保子孫後代有家可歸。我相信政府也應該在學校引入環保課程，從小教育學生。
我們需要保護地球，因為我們只有一個地球，保護它是每個人的工作。由於全球暖化，我們的地球正處於危險之中，因此我們需要更加關心它。我覺得現在的教育還不足以讓人關心，因為我們需要教育人們問題有多嚴重。我們的政府還需要為人們提供工具並知道如何解決問題。
