We have a population of roughly 7 billion plus, but we only
have 1 earth that we all have to share. Unfortunately,
not everybody cares or is in a position to help preserve and better our earth.
The small population that do care, and are involved in the world’s problems are
called global citizens. These people strive for a green sustainable earth. This
means that everything that we do while we inhabit this planet is in a cycle
that always replenishes the resources that we are using. An example of this would
just be with cars. Majority of the cars that we drive run on fossil fuels
(gasoline) these cars emit carbon dioxide into our atmosphere which literally
eats through it and makes it thinner. Instead of these traditional cars we all
should be driving electric cars because of how much better they are for the environment.
We can get our energy to run these cars
from sustainable things such as solar power, wind power, or hydroelectricity
whereas gas just gets burnt up. Even doing small things like buying fair trade
products helps out. This even connects with child labour in Brazil. A lot of
places in the world get their sugar from Brazil but the factory and farms that
make and grow the sugar may be using child labour. So if you just took the time
to buy sugar with a fair trade seal on it you would be helping kids from all
the way across the world. Global citizens are really important in our world and
we defiantly need more of them.
