ST: According to you what is the biggest environmental threat in the world
at present?
at present?
Jennifer:
The biggest environmental
threat in the world right now is the amount of, trash waste and toxins our
human is putting into our air, water and land. The amount of carbon dioxide
levels in the atmosphere have increased “from 280 parts per million to 400
parts per million in the last 150 years. Causes cited were the burning of
fossil fuels, intensive agriculture and other human activities, according to
NASA. Besides, 9 million tons of plastic sintering to our ocean every year,
according to The Global Risks Report. The report points out that plastic
pollution is so great in 2018 already that micro-plastics is found in 83% of
tap-water in the world. Chemical pollution from agriculture and industries is
another problem where plants and animals are killed or are affected by toxins.

ST: What do you think a common person can do to help the environment?
Jennifer:
Yes, YOU and I can make a
big difference and can help protect this planet we call Earth. First of all is
stop littering. when we go hiking or go to the beach please do not leave trash,
packagings or plastic bottles behind. We can also help clean up the area
by picking up trash, fishing lines and plastic bottles that we see. Also it is
good to reduce or eliminate the use of plastic bags and plastic bottles.I
encourage you to use a water filter in replace of plastic bottles on a daily
basis. Glass bottles can be recycled and reused. Other action items include
saving the electricity and water; biking to work or carpooling when
possible; refusing to eat, trade and hunt wild animals; disposing
hazardous waste properly; The list is endless. Let’s start small and do our
part just by changing our daily habits. Helping clean the environment is easier
than you might think. Please remember our 3Rs: Reduce, reuse, and
recycle.
