  1. This article was talked about serious environmental problem-biodiversity loss. These days, a lof of species of animals and plants are extincting by humans. If we didn't have enough plantes and trees ,that would make shortage of oxygen. We should think about enviroment after 10years.

  2. The article talked about biodiversity loss. It said that biodiversity loss is having direct impact on human health and prosperity. Biodiversity loss reduces the ability of the echosystems to protect us and our crops. Also, the professor maintains that it is getting more difficult to sustain biodiversity, as more and more species go extinct. Consequently, for human lives, we must pay attention to protecting biodiversity.

  3. Sometimes i think about how environmental problems could affect me, but i usually think that nothing really drastically is going to happen in the next 50 years. It sounds selfish but i don't worry because i will be dead then.. but as well i worry if my children will be able to live in a better world. But i don't know what to do about it. Saving energy is the most i can do right now. But it doesn't change my behavior because i don't think about it often. I worry about other big problems in my life so i don't worry about the environment that often.. it is really selfish but anyways there's nothing i can do. Big companies and industries are the problem. What can i do then?
