We are living in the midst of a great chemical experiment, and some serious
consequences are becoming apparent to scientists. More than two billion pounds of
chemicals are spewed into the air each year. These chemicals are brewing a
disastrous stew, resulting in an atmosphere crisis. The greatest consequences of
the atmosphere crisis may be the greenhouse effect (global warming) and the
ozone deletion. If humankind wants to survive well into the next millennium, than
we must stop this horrid destruction of our own environment.
To conclude, I think that the world is in a long-term crisis and that only
intelligent reflections in joining forces during a crisis should be a priority to which
we must all give allegiance. That’s why we must develop a world population that is
aware of, and concerned about, the environment and its associated problems, and
which has the knowledge, skills, attitudes, motivations, and commitment to work
individually and collectively toward solutions of current problems and the
prevention of new ones.

This essay simple measure, as inhabitants of this planet, can not seal
our fate in rising temperatures, but rather we must change our views
completely. We have to stop thinking of the natural world as something that
we can exploit, and start thinking of it as something that is crucial to our
very existence.

Our world is in the grip of a dangerous carbon habit. Coal and oil paved
the way for the developed world’s industrial progress. Fast-developing
countries are now taking the same path in search of equal living standards.
Meanwhile, in the least developed countries, even less sustainable energy
sources, such as charcoal, remain the only available option for the poor.
The cost will be borne by all. The poor will be hardest hit by weather-
related disasters and by soaring price inflation for staple foods, but even the
richest nations face the prospect of economic recession and a world in
conflict over diminishing resources. Mitigating climate change, eradicating
poverty and promoting economic and political stability all demand the same
solution: we must kick the carbon habit. This paper recognizes the damaging
extent of our addiction, and it shows the way forward.
