Do You Care About Your Environment? #2

After reveiving more information about environmental issues I had noticed that we are at high risk's of suffering big consequences. The reason why I am saying this is because we are really abusing our environment. We are not taking care of it the way we are suppose to take care of it. It is the smallest things that can cause big problems. Such as throwing away trash or even driving to work in a car. These things can really impact our world on so many levels. The EPA said that certain toxins were released and could have major impacts for our environment. From 2004 to 2005, dioxin releases decreased by 23 percent and mercury releases fells by 9 percent. Petroleum refining releases dropped 10 percent, transportation equipment registered a 6 percent decrease and chemical manufacturing cut releases dropped 4 percent. Everyone seems to be very concerned because no one knows what will happen in the future. Also people are very concerned about the water that we drink after the disaster in Japan. As you may know the chemicals that were released from the power plant got into the ocean. People are afraid that the water that we drink could have the chemicals in it. I think that now in some stores they might raise the prices of the water because of this great tragedy. It would be much harder to find cleaner water now that this had happened.With out clean water many people would die because of dehydration.
