PURPOSES.

2. Reflect:
Do I contribute to any of the global issues? Am I part of the problem? Can I be part of the
solution?
Yes, we all do. We are part of the problem, but we can also be part of the solutions. We
are part of the problem because we impact the physical environment in many ways.
Overpopulation, pollution, and deforestation are all factors. Climate change, poor air quality, and
undrinkable water have all been induced by such changes. If we continue to harm nature, it could
be too late for our planet Earth, and we humans would be the first to be affected. As a result, we
need to take action and do our share to conserve the earth so that we can survive and grow. We
may be a part of the solution if we follow through and do the right things, such as sorting our trash,
by recycling the plastics, saving money on power, and caring for our environment. If we adopt
this, global difficulties that we are currently facing may change, and the world will be a better
place.
