Immigrants

I think that increase of immigrants in the United States is a negative impact in the environment because as population grows, there are more traffic on the roads, and it produce a lot of gases that cantaminate the air. Due to this country has overpopulation, humans have destroyed the natural resources. For example, they have destroyed part of the Everglades in order to build, roads, houses, condos, and outdoor recreation facilities, and it has caused a lot of issues because the Everglades is a place where many animals live, and it is a natural resourse that people have to preserve.

immigration(legal & illegal hason the US

First, it affects the population growth here in US.As you sould know immigration is one of the most importanat factor on population growth with birth rate, death rate, and emmigration. The ecological footprint here is to big. Where most of the immigrants come from are less developed countries with scarce resources, where their ecological footprint is much more small. Immigrants in general term have inffluence in economics aspects such as laws, employment and enviromental issues. They are able to work hard for the lowest salary in countries like US. While they are an important aspect in the development of any country, they also spend less resources.

Genetically modifying foods.

Genetically modifying foods is an imprecise experiment with widespread repercusiones.While this modern techonology seen like an advance, it causes many problems for people who eat the modified food, for the plants that are changed, for the farmers who typically grow the original plants, and also for the environment. In my opinion, we should try to avoid to eat the genetically modify food becuase it cause a lot of problems in our body. Also, this type of food doesn't have the protein, grease, and vitamim that natural food.

Eating genetically modified foods

Probably a lot of the food we eat nowadays, unless we buy exclusively organic food, is genetically modified, for example, corn and soybeans. If you knew that the food you were about to eat was genetically modified, would you still eat it? Or do you make a conscious effort to avoid eating genetically modified foods. Why
Every day it is more and more difficult to find a not modified food. Only organic food has less contamination and it is not totaly thruth. Organics products are threatned with not chemicals; however, the soil where they growth may be contaminated. We human beings, have been contaminated the enviroment polluting water and air.

enviromental actions

We need more people worried about the enviroment. Actions is what we have to do if we want a better future. Using bags and bottels more than once is better than recycle them. However, we are lazy of even recycle, and we just throw them away. If everybody would have the knowledges of the amount of energy that is consumed by industrialization, things were differents. Another important action that we can do is use less chemicals in our houses. Who has never used the new product for the hair. Advertaisments anounces them as the best item in the world. In contrast, a week later they show another one and the old one is never again the best. Then people just throw away the old one and buy the last one. Don't we have to think about it? Problems like air pollution and water pollution were caused for humans. As well as we made the damage, we must repaired. This new generation will be the generation of tomorrow. Now is our time of do something. We just have to start in this moment.
