Chapter 15

There are both natural and human-made hazards that threaten habitats, climates, and the health of individuals or communities of organisms. As people, we can’t control the natural hazards which happen throughout the world, but we can try to be prepared for them in case something would happen. As a country, during hazards such as Hurricane Katrina, etc, many people and organizations really did all they could to help victims. Even though we can’t control natural hazards, we can control the human-made hazards which are the most disturbing to me as a person. We should want to preserve these areas to keep these animals around as long as possible.
Also, another thing that bothered us is how much pollution happening throughout the world. We need to do a better job of carpooling, not littering, saving water, etc. Like we went over in class on Monday, it takes a little bit of effort from everyone to make a difference. For example, if every single person tries to do their part in the world, our world will be a lot more of a clean place to live. Both of these issues about our environment need to be controlled or some really bad things will happen, if not.

  1. I agree with you that people should carpool more or instead of kids who live 3 feet from their school taking the bus, that they should ride their bikes. my group found it interesting that in 1960, people produced 2.6 pounds per day, which means that the volume of produced waste is growing faster than the United States population. This is a huge situation and we need do something for furture generations.
