ReplyDeleteParagraph 1- people with no jobs, this is a problem because there are benefits that should be given to school not to people who are unemployed they shoud have a job.
paragraph 2- i learned that the unemployed people has increase 2.2 million this year.
Paragraph 3,4 - When i was trying to look for a job there were no more jobs and also if there was a job they always ask for a college degree.
Paragraph 5 - I would like to see a drop in the unemployment rate and more job openings so it's not as hard to get and keep a job.

Paragraph 2 - I have learned that if we don't start trying to save our planet in a 20 to 50 years we won't have an environment to save.
Paragraph 3 and 4 - Through my personal experience the way humans have effect the environment has drastically effected the planet in a negative way the summers/winters are far more intense then the ones 20 years back.
Paragraph 5 - research says that if we don'tact now in 20 to 50 years from it'll be 5x harder to replenish the worlds resources and harder to make a change in the environment positively. we need to cut down on the fact we rely so much on the worlds resources recycle , cut down on co2 emissions and plenty more.
Paragraph 6 - This is a problem that is well wired for us to come together and help save the only home we have the time to act is now, before it's to late. We as humanity shouldn't wait 20 to 50 years to help and do our part to save the planet when it's too late we need to save our planet now.
