Too Many People

Our world is becoming grey: full of buildings, full of persons, full of pollution. And it used to be green!
Human beings are very possessive, and greedy. With their desire to have more, and more, they have been destroying the environment. Lots of buildings appeared, lots of means of transport, more technology (needs more energy), etc...
In consequence of this, there are less green spaces available for animals to survive, so we’ve also been destroying their habitats, and they have no other place to go, because they live in the nature and they are part of it, so nowadays lots of animals are endangered, and that’s very bad, because without them we cannot live.
Some cities in the world are overpopulated, which is bad because it provides more traffic, and of course more pollution. Some people live in shanty towns, because they have no money to live in houses with good conditions, those places are much polluted, with lots of traffic dealers, so people who live there are discriminated and rejected by other people.
People don’t respect the environment, as they are too many in the world, they should start to think about possibilities of a better life in our “Mother Earth”.
Our world needs our help. I wonder if we don’t help, who will... We must save the resources: water, energy, and use renewable energy, and rechargeable batteries, green means of transports, green technologies, sort out, reforest, protect the animals, there is a lot we can do to protect it, and we have to do it.
