Opinion essay

- "We have learnt to take better care of our planet". Do you agree?

During this third term, we have learnt a lot about global issues, we have made presentations to the class about how to fight them and the solutions of these global issues, also we have watched videos and some pictures that it alarms us about the extinction of our the planet, and the teacher has taught us how we can save and help the planet relating with the topics that we had chosen for the presentations.

We don't agree with the sentence, because:

Firstly, referring to the sentence, actually there are a lot of people who continue polluting our planet, because they don't know the damage that they do to the environment. In many places around the world the people suffer from many diseases for live surrounded by garbage, toxic gases, polluted water and sometimes the water is stagnant for fault of oil that has been spilled at the sea, causing the death of many animals, plants and sometimes cause boat accidents, because oil is sticky and makes that the boat slip and can't be controlled.

Secondly, in the world there are still wars and dictatorships and these don't care about our planet, because wars wipe out many lives and entire countries, and dictatorships enslave a part of the population to consider them inferior to others.

Finally, we think that the polution has to finish in all it forms, because maybe one day the planet would be extinct cause a lot of pollution that we produce every day. During these latest years, the ice of the countries located in the poles is still melting and the sea levels rises, this fact can cause the flooding of some cities situated a few meters above sea level.

We found a solution that consist in to get the peace in the whole world and accept people as they are; make disappear the racial problems and cooperate together to reach to the maximum peace between citizens of differents nacionalities.
We suggest that a solution for this problem may be teaching people are throwing things into the environment (polluting), saying them that the bad things that they are doing to the environment and to the other people will hurt them in the future, and if they don't obey, punish them.
