really care about the environment. I am planning on moving to the
island of Kauai because of this. Every time I see big buildings, it
makes me wonder about what they destroyed in order to build it. That is why I think that people should stop. In Kauai, there are no big buildings. There isn't even a mall, but that is because the people do not support the destruction of plants. They have special trash cans that have specific cans for metal, plastic, paper/cardboard, and waste. This seems like a very simple, but effective idea! I think that a big part of the damage to our ecosystems is from people being lazy! Some people spit their gum on the ground, throw trash out the window, throw recyclables in the trash, etc. If people learned about the consequences of their actions then I am sure the world could be a clean place. I also feel that restrictions are not strong enough. Lets face it, septic tanks are absolutely gross. They are unsanitary, and have leakage problems. Your sewage leaking into the ground?! Yes, and it is absolutely TERRIBLE for the environment. This is why people should pay that little sum of money to get it checked. You don't want your kid to be in a contaminated backyard, next to a contaminated river, with an E-Coli infested beach! Seriously, it is a big deal... I learned about how the extinction of a species can mess up the whole food chain. I also learned about the impacts certain things have on the world. I also realized that if we don't come up with a change to help the environment, my kid's future is absolutely going to be crazy!
