Take Action!

The most significant enviornmental factor that our government should be concerned about in their upcoming Federal Election is the extremely high gas prices in our society, and the pollution caused by fossil fuels. The gas prices that we see in our societies nowadays is just absurb. They expect individuals to pay an average of 135.9 to 145.9 per litre of gas when all it's doing is slowly ruining our environment. It is worsening the rate of global warming and contaminating our air and water by it's pollution. Also, the use of fossil fuels create extremely harmful chemicals in which it falls down to earth as acid rain. Not only do fossil fuels generate acid rain, the chemicals also have a huge effect on wildlife animals and aquatics. It can cause the exctinction of animals and therefore it is slowly ruining our enivoronment.

Individuals, like ourselves, need to start thinking environmentally friendly and take action. We can start by picking up garbage we see around our neighbourhoods. Not only will that decrease the pollution in our society, but it'll make our neighbourhoods look much more cleaner and welcoming. Walking to places instead of driving can save a lot of money and gas. By not using gas as often, were slowing down the rate of global warming and animal extinction. The motto, "recycle and reuse" is highly important in saving our environment. People need to stop being lazy and start helping out. The government should definently consider all this into matter in the next federal election.
