World Problems I Care About

Environment
  • Air/Water Pollution
  • Global Warming
  • Deforestation 
Violence
  • Domestic violence
  • Animal Cruelty
  • Genocide
Disease
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Cancer

I think that global warming is one of the most crucial issues of our time. It is related to so many other problems, rising sea levels, habitat loss and pollution. One of these problems is the pine beetle. The pine beetle is an insect that lives in pine trees. In the past, when winters were colder the beetles would die but now that winters aren't as cold they live through the winter, and have killed millions of acres of pine. I remember going to British Columbia one summer and seeing red trees in every direction. My grandpa was especially concerned because he loves to plant trees around his house. I think that if we tried to solve global warming many other issues would also improve.
