We Need to Change Our Ways of Life

We all want to live in a safe environment where the air is fresh, water is clean, birds sing, and flowers bloom.  But now there are more disasters than before.  So this article is about how we could help our environment by making changes in our lives and what would happen if we don’t.

We have to change our ways of life because if we don’t then a lot of bad things would happen such as sea level rising, more radiation from the sun, global warming, mudslides, and less oxygen.  So if we change, all these things might not happen.

We could change our ways of life by conserving energy such as turning off the light when we don’t need it.  We could also stop wasting water by turning off the faucet when we don’t need it and take quick showers.  We could also clean up trash, so the world will be a cleaner place.  We could also drive cars less, so there won’t be that much carbon dioxide.

If we don’t change our ways of life, the world will be disastrous, and animals will die because of pollution in air and water.  If there’s too much carbon dioxide in the air, the earth will get hotter and the ice caps will melt; therefore, sea levels will rise and a lot of islands cities will go under water.  If we continue to pollute the ocean, then plankton will die and can’t give oxygen to us.  And if we continue to use CFC (chlorofluorocarbons), which can be found in refrigerators, freezers, and aerosol cans, the ozone layer will disappear fast.

If everyone becomes environmentally friendly, then that could cause a tremendous change, and our world will be better.
