I was thinking about how our generation relies largely on internet use. Quite frankly, this is a problem for adults: their kids could get carpal tunnel syndrome or bad eyesight.
But I think the bigger problem is: why aren’t there that many teens online that can help save our environment? Most teens are into shopping or beauty – not a problem, I am too. But the issue is, not all of them make an effort to save their home: Earth.
That’s why, in an effort to change this unfortunate fact, this blog was created. A change – an ever present change would be necessary amongst our people in order to save our world.
I thought I was the only one out there doing something about this problem – at least, the only person of my age. I see now that I was wrong, obviously because I saw others who were presumably my age (e.g. by “internet speak”) doing what they could to save our environment. Connect2earth, for example, is a great “social networking” site, the only difference between it and other, slightly dangerous sites such as MySpace, is that it is a place for people to discuss news events related to our world – environment, poverty – in addition to ways people can help change the many problems faced to us by things such as plastic.
So you see, it isn’t just one person, it isn’t just one age group, it’s everyone. And by that I mean children, parents, newlyweds, teens, college kids, you name it. And it isn’t uncool. I’m in that environment where I thought this kind of thing was uncool, until I saw some of the people around me getting seriously impacted by the ruined environment. A couple of my teachers, my close friends, my cousins, my family – all of us were getting affected, some more, some less.
And that, my friends is all we need to know about where to set our priorities.
