Question 1 to 8 out of 23
Some people don't know anything about climate change. People know more about climate changes because they're seeing the alarming consequences in our world. Like the ice in Pastoruri has melted and the weather has also changed very fast.
- Young people know more than old people because they realize what's happening nowadays.
- Many ecosystems have been destroyed due to the increase of temperature.
- Tourism in many countries, specially in countries near the coast are decreasing because of the global warming.
- Besides, tourism is decreasing because of the contamination in the world.
1) People is aware of global warming because of climate change. They also answered that it is a very common problem nowadays and that the consequences are visible. It is causing damages around the world and the responsible ones are us, the humans. That is why we need to do something to stop it.
2) In our country, the consequences are many. Peru is known for its biodiversity and because of climate change, we are about to lose all of it. A perfect example of it is Pastoturi, this glacier is melting day by day and now its a dangerous place. This also affects our economy because tourism is not possible in that zone. Our rainforests will be affected too, we will lose many plants and animal species. Another consequence that involves economy is the agriculture. People will not be able to work because they will lose their crops due to floods and other natural disasters. In conclusion, our ecosystems will eventually die.
b) We conclude that opinions about climate change can be different due to several factors as age, culture, education, social-economic position, etc. However, all of them agree that what is happeing in our world is because of us and it is in our hands to do something about it.
a). Greenhouse effect, ice melting, extinction of species, changing climate, forest burns.
b). International reunions, use products in their totality, decrease de production of CO2 y CH4. Control of burns, they support investigations such using houses with solar energy, share energy.
c). There is not so much interest or priority of these reports, I think only twice a month in important newspapers. All the information we are given to you was found in one special section of climate change.
d). The headline that caught more my attention was GLOBAL EFFECT, because it said in a graphic all we know about climate change.
e). Climate Victims.
Unfortunately, neither in our country or our city , we have marches that promote the environmental conscience as in other countries
Principally the adults are those who worry less, while young people are awareness. we are the ones who foment between the others the environmental thought
For example, many of our dumps with garbage are replete and therefore the garbage leaves and falls to the path.
We do not also have the custom of recycling, something that should be obligatory, nevertheless we do not do it.
Sometime people use their imagination to produce lamps or bags with recycled material and sell them
It bothers, it makes us feel worried and dissapointed, because young people like us contribute to keep the streets clean.
But everything is for a reason and we believe that one day people will change and improve our world.
Firstly I would make people understand that if we don`t take care about our world, no one else would do it. The firs step goberments of every country must do is to create new laws or to become more strict about making people to respect the environment. Also we have to teach our children that this is our only home and if we continue polluting the world like our ancestors did it, on a rean future our sons or our grandchildren would inherit a contaminated land without animals, plants and of course without this beautifull landscapes like, for example here in Peru, the Pastoruri glaciar, Yanganuco Lagoon (picture).
Another opinion:
The climate change should be the most important aspect of our life. Unfortunately, it is not for everyone. Only a few people in Peru are truly interested in solving problem of the climate change.
Some people are promoting the environmental awareness, and that’s what we want to do.
Now it is your turn to compile the questions 5 until 8. Carefully consider the best way of posing the questions in order to gain the best possible insight into the everyday views of your partner class.
The young and old society try to help the environment but also find their confortable, for exsmple here in Peru, the wood is a bit expensive. So sometime people don’t care and buy illegal services of logging, but they know it’s wrong.
But now a days, teenagers and also adults are contribute to be against the logging. Right now they know how is our environment so they think that the best way to do something good is helping to be against the logging.
Yes, here in Peru on highlands we had this problem, mostly because this economic activity is one of the most importants in those areas. But this problem unfortunately is because people who raised the cattle didn`t have the environmental education to understand that if they overgraze this land not only the flora would be extinct, but the lands won`t be able to be used for sowing.
Another opinion:
There are some place sin Lima or around Lima where people live in small areas. These places are called “Quintas”. The Quintas are like small houses or flats, but the difference it’s the amount of people living in each place. There are almost 14 up to 16 people in a place of 10mt x 10mt. We know this problem is really worrying.
In the rural zones, the problems of overgrazing are in the seeds. They produce too much products, which causes the erosion because they are abusing of the territories.
(no answer yet)
Yes, of course. Here in Peru are a lot of cars and buses in bad conditions. For that reason, these produce smoke that contains CO2 and that pollute the environment.
In addition, here are many factories which expulse lots of contaminated gases. For example, here in Callao, near our school, a new factory everyday expulse a big amount of black hum, and the authorities’ don´t do anything to avoid that environment crime.
Also, other way in which our country experiences air pollution is when consciousness people burn garbage. This is worst when in the garbage are plastic and battens.
