Most of us here at QSI Kosice have pretty great lives. We live in warm homes with hot water, plenty of access to yummy food, water that runs clean right out of the tap, lights that go on and off when we tell them to, not to mention clothes and books and toys and games and...need I go on?
It might not make sense, then, when teachers and parents and people on tv talk about "saving the environment." Our environment is just fine, right? Look at everything we have! The thing is, the things we have come from all over the world, and not everywhere in the world is doing as well as we are. And guess what? We're not the only people on the planet! We share this space with other humans, animals and plants, and it's important that we all take care of one another in order to keep the earth balanced.
Check out this cool slideshow from the American Museum of Natural History's "Ology" webpage and get some more information on the importance of biodiversity. What is biodiversity? Why does it matter?

I think it is how we don't understand what we share and to that does not help the environment.
ReplyDeletebiodiversity is the division of genes, spiecies, and ecosystems. it maters because we depend on these things. if they start to die out, we could be in trouble. we need to start helping our earth and the animals, because this earth and these animals are the only ones we have.
ReplyDeleteThere's three different kinds of biodiversity. The division of genes, species and ecosystems. They are very important because you mostly depend on them. That makes different from your family and friends. We need to preserve the things we already have, animals and plants.
ReplyDeleteIf we do little things like when we leave our house turn the lights if will help the enviroment.
