Geography task

  • News that gave me positive effect: “Air pollution is present both inside homes and outside and is responsible for the premature death of seven million people each year, including 600,000 children, according to the Special Rapporteur’s report.” (https://news.un.org/en/story/2019/03/1034031)
  • effect: This report made me understand the seriousness of environmental problems and let me know that environmental pollution will harm our own health every moment. Over time, it makes me care about the environment and want to protect it, which I think is a positive effect on my ethic of care around the environment. 
  • News that gave me negative effect: “Across Minawao camp, the inhabitants are able to find shade and a respite from the midday sun under small trees planted just two years ago. Smaller saplings are protected by netting or the thorny branches of the acacia tree. ‘The people who live here and in the surrounding villages have seen the difference the trees can make to everyday life,’ said Mr. Pemha, ‘so they respect them and allow them to grow.’”( https://news.un.org/en/story/2019/03/1033872)
  • Effect: This news shows that people in Minawao love planting trees and improve the environment in this way, which makes me feel that environmental problems are gradually improved. There are still a lot of people attach importance to the environment, but it also makes me get away with it: since so many people are concerned about this problem, they can improve the problem without my contribution, which is not fit on the ethic of care about the environment.
