What can young people do to help protect and improve their local environment? Nowadays, most young people don´t realise they are damaging their local environment because they are other preferences which some of them are harmful for environment. Although people recycle than 20 years ago, it isn´t enough and specially young people recycle less than adult people do, first because it is much easier not recycle. Second, because they haven´t been educated for recycling properly. On the other hand, the amount of cars is increasingly and this is a problem because we are contaminating the environment. A possible solution would be going at work or school on foot, go cycling or at least taking public transport. It is so likely if you get used to go to work on foot, you will like to get somewhere on foot, go cycling or practising sport. And this way, we would protect and improve environment. From my point of view, pollution should be cut down and both aduld and young people should work together to enjoy the world many more years.
