I thought it was a good thing someone got noticed for their strong efforts to inform people on Global Warning because it is such an important issue.

Overall I believe that the whole section was very impressive. I think it is very good for teachers to care to show their student’s world related problems in order to inform their students about the troubles of the world. I specially believe that by doing so we are raising awareness and informing the students that our natural resources and the world we live in are not going to fix themselves. It is the time to start making changes and its necessary to inform specially the youth that if they want a place to live for in the future and they want a place for their children to live in then they need to start making smarter choices regarding the environment.
