The environment is a very controversial issue in today's society. Helping to clean up the earth and reduce the rate of global warming has greatly increased over the passed recent years. Yet, many people do not acknowledge the fact of "Global Warming". Many people also believe that this is a natural pattern of life. What those people do not realize is that it has been affecting everyone around the world, including them! It is vital to take as much care of the earth as possible, even if you believe that global warming is a myth. Is it not only common courtesy to not litter? Is it not common courtesy to turn off your engine when it is not needed? Is it not common courtesy to just take care of our planet? Although global warming may seem to be a natural pattern of life, isn't it always good to appreciate the nature blooming in our world?
