The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. The passage of the landmark Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many other groundbreaking environmental laws soon followed. Growing out of the first Earth Day, Earth Day Network (EDN) works with over 22,000 partners in 192 countries to broaden, diversify and mobilize the environmental movement. More than 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world. (from

ReplyDeleteyes i worry because i read that our oil may run out in 2025, our natural gas in 2075, and our coal in 2134, these are all guesses but they still scare me. I learn most most of what I know from books. I think the biggest problem is the destrying of the forests because it lowers oxygen levels and destroyes valuble greenery and forests.
1)I'm not an environment freak but i do help out sometimes. i always put my garbage in the garbage and my recycling in the recycling.
ReplyDelete2)I learn about the environment at school.
3)I think that the biggest problems are people that always litter and factories that pollute the air.

ReplyDeleteI do worry about the environment because we live here and we need to to take care of it. We wouldnt put garbage in our house all over the place, so why would we do that outside.
I learn about the environment when I am outside. I can see everything that we have from trees to animals.
I think that the biggest problem that our environment is having is global warming. We have to many green house gases that is poluting the earth and breaking our o-zone layer.

ReplyDelete1. Yes because if we don't care about the enviroment will die and if the enviroment dies, we die then Earth becomes a dead planet.
2. I usually learn about the enviroment at school or on the news.
3. Pollution. Every kind of pollution, air pollution, water pollution and land pollution are the biggest problems for the enviroment.
i worry about the environment because i always think of what it will be like soon and how polluted the earth will be in the future.
ReplyDeletei learn about the environment in class a lot and even at home some times.
i think that the biggest problem facing the earth is global warming because polar bears are losing their homes, and there are more ice flows.

Do you worry about the environment? Why or why not?
ReplyDeleteWhere do you learn about the environment?
What do you think the biggest problems facing the environment are?
1. Yes, I do worry about the environment. I worry about the environment because there are things going on right now, like global warming and animal extinction that impact the environment in a negative way and can have a negative impact on people and animals as well.
2.I learn about the environment from school and news mostly. For example at school we have environmental presentations and was are shown videos about the polar ice caps and we talk about the impacts all this can have on us and the environment.
3. I think the biggest problems facing the environment are global warming and animal extinction. The reason I think that global warming is a big problem facing the environment because it changes the climate all around the world. It also causes polar ice caps to melt which causes a rise in sea levels. It also destroys habitat for animals like the polar bears. I think that animal extinction is also a big problem facing the environment because when one animal goes extinct it effects a lot of other species that either eat or are eaten by other animals.

2.I learn about the environment in school I would say the news to but I don;t watch the news. for examples at school sometimes people come into our school to teach/show us stuff about/how to help the environment or even having the green team at our school that shows we have people who really care about our environment and want to help it.
3.I think well there are very many problems like how I said before animals going extinct and people littering so I don;t really know what the BIGGEST problem is but there are lots.

i worry about the environment and clean garbage with my dad near were he lives. i do that because it is gross to have garbage every were and it is polluting animals homes and if they eat it (witch allot of animals do) they will probably die. i learn about the environment at school and my dad and grandma also teach me. i learned from my grandma that the dude who predicted that the world was going to end in 2012 predicted that the worlds clean water resources will run out or be very little in 2030. i think our low water resources, smog, and the o-zone layer with holes in it are the worst problems.
