The Pros And Cons Of Recycling

Death By Ice
Sometimes the biggest problems are solved by the simplest solutions. The ice caps are melting and odds are that one person’s actions will not fix this disaster. This problem is widely overlooked and needs to come to everyone’s attention around the world. Global warming is not a myth, or some fairy tale. The truth is that the United States is in danger of losing thousands of homes and possibly even thousands of lives.

People should consider how their daily activities impact the environment and try to make changes as individuals to sustain and preserve the ice caps as a whole.

This may create more pollution in terms of cleaning, storage and transportation” (2014). So even when you do recycle you can never be too sure if you are sustaining or harming the precious ice caps. But think of what you are doing when you do
