Ice Melting


It’s the melting of ice and snow has a consequence of rising temperatures due to global warming. Large-scale ice melt would also raise sea levels and flood coastal areas, currently home to about half the world's. Some of the most dramatic reports come from the Polar Regions, which are warming faster than the planet as a whole and have lost large amounts of ice in recent decades. people.

Changes in the climate threaten life in the Arctic. The polar bear population is expected to decline by 30 percent in the next 35 to 50 years due to disappearing habitat induced by global warming. Warming induced changes in tundra vegetation and plant life threaten caribou and migratory bird populations. Loss of sea ice and wildlife also makes indigenous life in the Arctic increasingly difficult, endangering an entire way of life.


To talk about these subject I went to: https://www.worldwatch.org/


Global Warming

Now I'm going to talk about global warming which is a huge problem currently in our world and its affecting our planet. Global warming as we know refers to rising temperatures of air and ocean caused by greenhouse effect. Many of the data's show that the rising temperature average is 0.5ºC during the last century. We must remember that the causes of this increase are mainly because of man, many people aren't really worried with what's happening to our planet and still doing inedaquate behaviours to the pollution. However many are done by Quioto Protocol
in a way which it warns people to change their behaviours but the truth is that the biggest polluter is the USA, they hasn't signed the deal.

How to teach recycle

I think the best way of teach kids to what’s need to do is by music has The 3 R's by Jack Johnson because he is a famous singer and younger people love his style and these music stay’s in our head. It is a music that calls our attention because it's very current due to our alarming situation and tells us what to do to protect our planet and future generations in a simple way.


"The 3 r´s" by Jack Johnson


Three, it's a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic number


Because two times three is six
three times six is eighteen


And the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is
"R"
We got three R's
We're gonna talk about today
We got learn to


Reduce, Re-use Recycle
Reduce, Re-use Recycle
Reduce, Re-use Recycle
Reduce, Re-use Recycle


If you're going to the market to buy some juice
You gotta bring your own bags
And you learn to reduce your waste
We gotta learn to reduce


And if your brothers or your sisters
Got some cool clothes
You can try them on
Before you buy some over those
Re-use
We gotta learn to re-use


And if the first two R's don't work out
And if you gotta make some trash
Well don't do it all
Recicle
We gotta learn to recicle
Because three, it's a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic...
Number

it's a magic number

Pollution

Pollution is the principal cause of our planet destruction because its due to it that global warming, human diseases and the disappearance of some ecosystems is happening has a consequence of human action, so we have air, water, sound pollution and other more. So it’s very important to continue teaching our kids to recycle because young people are our future, therefore they have to be conscious that our planet needs help. Kids show and insist to their parents that it’s very important to reduce, reuse and recycle because it’s what they start to learn at school, so they want to teach their parents too.


Endangered Species



I think it’s very important to preserve our environment and their species, in that way I want to refer some institutions that are a mean to protect endangered species has a huge step to save our planet. Here we have a few links of some wildlife institutions to preserve endangerous animals.
