Module 7-Quiz

Yes, we need laws to govern us, but the law itself cannot change people’s behaviors and mindsets. They set policies that are meant to inspire. Leaders and community members give life to these policies.

As a long-time environmental advocate, I know how hard it is to convince people to protect our environment. People act when there is threat 11 and fear; but that is not how we should live. People need to be inspired and feel that they are part of a shared cause. Thirty years ago, we were panicking over ozone layer depletion. But the positive signs that the ozone layer is starting to heal prove that when nations unite and work together, we can fight even such a great challenge.

This should inspire us now as we address the climate crisis. We live in only one planet and by now climate change should make us realize that we are all connected and we suffer the consequences of this crisis together. This is not the time for restraint; this is not the time to wag the finger of indictment; this is not the time for apathy and indifference.

This is the moment for collective and urgent climate action. If we start today, there is no promise that we will be lucky enough to see the undoing of the damage within our lifetime, but at least, we leave our world, we leave our children and grandchildren with the gift of hope for a better, kinder future.

Pollution is one of the biggest challenges faced by the world today. All the countries are adopting more and more laws on pollution reduction. Still, governmental actions cannot guarantee the complete elimination of this problem. The main thing is to make all the ordinary people understand the 12 importance of this issue and to make them respect the environment they live in. The main types of pollution are water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution and sound pollution. All of them are harmful to people’s health. The latest technological advances have been often making people forget about the existing problems. Use of many different fertilizers and other chemicals in agriculture and other food industries can cause serious illnesses though, and we should never forget about that. Increase in the number of vehicles in cities is one of the main reasons for air pollution. The engines emit carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide which are very harmful both for health and the atmosphere. It is about time everyone woke up and worked as a single cohesive unit against the pollution. Being aware of its bad effects has to be more than enough to work on pollution reduction. Planting more and more green plants is a very good option to bring back the resource-use equilibrium. No matter what the governments do, the main action should come from people. This is the only way to stop the spread of pollution from destroying our home.
