Everyone has heard about the global warming problem and about rising sea levels. We have all been made aware of temperatures rising and ice caps melting. But how much worse is this problem getting. Well for coastal cities, including us, much worse. "Sea levels are now set to rise anywhere from around 8 inches to 7 feet within 100 years, and around 5 yards to 10 yards within 2,000 years." "All coastal cities there, plus the coasts around NYC and Boston, will be submerged enough, within 2,000 years, so that, not only will they be deeply flooded, but even minor coastal storms will make them uninhabitable for anyone who might otherwise still be living there." What will happen to future generations. Will we let the careless, harmful mistakes of our time effect the world future generations will live on?
This problem of global warming needs to be fixed but how. Everyone needs to take action. Families businesses, schools, everyone. My family and I have personally taken action by recycling all our bottles, use energy efficient light bulbs, reduce our water use. Although we might not be able to completely undo the messes from the past we can still put the effects on hold as much as we can to help save the environment. It is our job to protect this earth? It needs to be handed down in good condition that is suitable for everyone to live in. Recycling might not be able to completely stop the problem of rising sea levels but it can stop the consequences of our generations for just a little but longer.
