This week, we interviewed some people about the problem of environment and global warming. We met one of them in the class and the others in Skype, via webcam. We asked them some questions about their opinion and the solutions they could propose to arrange the problem.
We spoke to Athina, a girl from California who had some experiences with the natural catastrophes, like wildfires, where she lived. She described all the catastrophes which happened in California : hurricanes, droughts … Caused by human activity. She explained that in just two weeks, two storms happened in Dublin, Ireland. Athina is against Donald Trump’s policy ; she thinks that he is not aware of the danger of global warming.
We spoke to Salvio too, an italian boy who lives in Florida . He thinks that natural disasters got worse because of global warming. But he is totally against the using of renewables energy in the United States. For him, It causes climate changes and natural catastrophes.
He give us some advice to protect environment ; for exemple, turn off the lights when we leave the house ;be careful with our consumption of water …
In the class, we also met a couple of british people who live in Scotland. They spoke about their life and their interest about the environment. They mentionned all the national parks that they visited ( The Everglades, Joshua Tree … ) They also spoke about the problem of global warming which makes the climate change.
Like Athina, they don’t have snow often in winter ( even If Athina had a lot of snow in Ireland before the holidays, because the climate is changing It’s cold because of the golf stream)
To finish, we spoke to the english teacher, Clara and we asked her what she thinks about Global Warming. She explained to us that It’s a problem of human activity and that we need to pay attention. She also spoke about the national parks that she visited, and we realized that she has been a lot of times to national parks.
