Saving the World

Every year, the earth’s population is growing whereas the earth’s resources are decreasing. There are more consumers than there are of resources. It is up to us, humans, to solve this problem and confront it with our knowledge and understanding of the earth.
Nowadays, the most concerning issues that people have is the limited amount of fresh water and oil. Because of these two resources, many people have fought for it. The American-Iraq war was an example which led many innocent people to die. We, the people, should not fight each other for these resources but gather minds to solve this issue.

After looking through the website, I found two interesting articles that might help solve the problems with fresh water and oil. For oil, I found the article that explained about the electric car where it can reduce the amount of oil dramatically because it is run by electric batteries. By just reducing the amount of oil we use for cars, it can save not only oil but the environment as well. The o-zone layer has been constantly decreasing due to the fumes that automobiles produce. But now, with this technology it will help save the o-zone layer and dramatically reduce the amount of oil used in gasoline.

Water is the one thing that everything needs in the earth. It is the one resource that keeps the environment alive. The earth surface is covered with 70% of salt water which we do not use at all. The people in third world countries suffer because of the lack of fresh water. If we can corporate this technology to be used in such third world countries, then it can save many people from skin infections and dehydration.

The two most important resources, water and oil, can be reduced or be produced by these two new technologies. The earth’s resources are being used up quickly and if we do not do anything about it we will destroy our earth. To make a better world, we need these technologies to be developed and further studied. Not only will it save lives but it will also help save our earth.
