Overview of my topic
For this project I am extremely interested in talking about our current issues of the worlds sustainability. Over the past couple decades, the consumption of our goods has sky rocketed and all of our resources are deteriorating rapidly. This is due to us not recycling, keeping lights on, wasting water and thousands of other actions that we do daily. Some of these earth threatening things are habits. People of this day and age have become accustomed to wasting and it has become second nature to all of us. A message has been spread that using a lot of energy at one time is okay and that our world can still properly function if we don't let up. But now things are changing, trees are not growing back fast enough, oil is reaching its peak, the ozone is falling apart and not protecting us from the sun, and fresh water is scarce for those who need it most. Americans are mildly unaware of the damages being done to our planet. And part of my goal for this project is to inform everyone to become a little more aware of the issues going on with our planet. We all don't realize that our population could diminish if we don't try to limit our waste and energy use. So spreading the message on sustainability and conserving our energy is something important that people need to know. Over the next couple weeks I am going to address many controversial issues that we face. Each one will have a big question that is up for discussion. These questions are always debatable and good to think about.

This is a very timely topic. We have other students doing environmentalism so be sure to focus on sustainability so there we don't have too much overlap.
