<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">I am interested in changing the society based on the needs of the environment, because we only have one environment, one ecosystem, and one Earth. If the people don't change their actions then the environment will be completely demolished and will be unable to make a comeback and fix the problems that have occurred over time. Once, society can understand the errors of their ways; will then be able to find some way to solve the problems of the past. After, the changes have been made society will be able to recover from the ways of the old. It is important for us to reuse, reduce and recycle. "They view waste as a resource that can be used in more productive ways than landfilling or incinerating it." (Weeks, 2007)
