We must take care of our Earth, so new amendments addressing environmental protections should be added to the Constitution. Taking Oceanography opened my eyes to how poorly we are treating our planet. The amount of pollution in the air and the ocean is awful, and we should be ashamed of ourselves as humans.
An amendment dedicated to conserving natural resources would ensure we prioritize protecting forests, waterways, and the wildlife. This would help maintain biodiversity and ecosystems for future generations. Deforestation kills wildlife habitats. “Each year, Earth loses about 36 million acres of forest to deforestation—an area about the size of the state of New York.” (Conserving Earth – National Geographic Society) It also emits greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, contributing to Global Warming. “Global warming is the long-term warming of the planet’s overall temperature.” (Global Warming – Nation Geographic Society) Our planet is heating up, and life on Earth will not last if it continues.
Constitutional Amendments committed to preserving our Earth could mandate actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote renewable energy sources. This would give our government the support it needs to tackle climate change head-on and keep up the effort and action against climate change.
