Sustainability arguement.

Topic:It is better to be sustainable.
I am: For.




In my arguement I will be talking to you about three main points.




  • How global warming is effecting us.


  • Some of the animals that are about to become extinct from global warming.


  • What we can do to help.



Firstly, how is global warming effecting us? "What are we meant to do? Global warming is not going to effect us!" This is one of the main excuses that we hear from people who just don't care about weather or not global warming is real, even if it is proven. So I am about to tell you a few thigns that global warming will do to effect us. You may not be aware, but global warming has already started to effect us! Yes, that's right ! Did you know that, the warming is most likely to a lot more powerful droughts and heat waves, also, unusually strong storms -- such as the ones that left at least millions of Northwesterners shivering in December, while killing 13 people!!! Which is one of the reasons why researches are more than 90 percent certain that global warming is caused by humans. Us! We are causing all of his! Do you feel guilty yet? Well, if you don't yet. get ready to because I'm onto my second point.




Secondly, a few of the animals that are about to become extincht from global warming.

  • Polar bears.
A lot of polar bears are becoming endangered because of global warming, all of the ice is melting because of the amount of CO2 being released into the atmosphere. Which causes the iceto melt, which leaves the polar bears with nowhere to live.



  • Sea lions,



These ae becoming extinct because of the same reason of polar bears. Along with,

  • Seals.



Look at this heart breaking picture that shows that global warming is not the only cause of seals dying. Waaaahhhhhh!



Finally, what can we do to help. Here are some things that you can do to help stop global warming. This information is from a really cool website.

An A-Z of things to help save the environment.

  • A.void fast food.

Fast food is very over packaged and are responsible for producing mountains and mountains of trash! So avoiding fast food is great to reduce all that garbage.

  • B.ike instead of riding in a car.

If you bike instead of riding in a car, you will help reduce CO2 released into the atmosphere. It is also fun!

  • C.hange you'r normal lightbulbs to energy efficient ones.

These are the same price as the normal ones AND they will saveyou more! Double benifit!

  • D.on't buy aerosols.

They can not be recycled! How bad is that!

  • E.at organic food.

Organic food doesn't get sprayed with chemicals and nasty stuff. It'll even stop all those chemicals being washed into the oceans ETC.

  • F.eed the birds.

If you feed the birds, it will bring a bit of nature into you r backyard, it will also help because the birds should eat the bugs in your garden.

  • G.row a garden.

This will be easy because you won't have to buy a lot of food. It will also help reduce the waste that is made when fruit and veges are imported into N.Z.
