How do I make other teens care about environmental issues?
I’m trying to get students at my school become aware of environmental issues. I am myself a student, but I don’t how how to make them relate to these problems in order to get them involved. How do I make them to care?
I trying to start an environmental club, and I could really use some help on how make them join the club.
The Expert answers:
You need to make it relate to them..tell them how a clean healthy environment supplies, air, food and water to them. Tell them how many medicines, foods, etc come from plants and from animals that pollinate plants. If they know that their future will depend on the environment, they may be interested in preserving it. Try to plan fun activities, touring a wildlife rehabilitation center where you can see animals being cared for, park clean-up where you could have a picnic before or after the cleaning, a camp-out clean up, etc.

What tactics do Corporations use to keep environmental issues from becoming social problems?
Corporations use tactics to keep environmental issues from becoming social problems… What are a few of these tactics we see here in the U.S.?
The Expert answers:
How many environmental problems that affect the health and property of people do you hear about on TV, in magazines or even your local newspaper? I think certain kinds of stories are squashed. By social problems, I assume you mean what would result if more people knew about these things and held the offenders accountable.

For one of my courses, we have our final project on “The Greatest Environmental Issue”, i.e. The most serious threat to the long-term well-being of human population. My professor made this list:
Air Pollution

Genetically-Modified Organisms (GMOs)
Global Warming / Climate Change
Loss of Biodiversity
Mineral/Energy Resource Depletiion
Overpopulation
Pesticide Overuse
