The Greatest Challenge of Our Generation
I feel that the greatest challenge that my generation is faced with is being stuck in a time of environmental instability. Recently, we have been confronted with the crisis of global warming. In past generations, they have known the risks and effects of all the factories, and the car emissions, but they saw no immediate problem that they were confronted with. So they did not make many changes in their daily habits.

With more people knowing about this issue, believing in it, and having a motivation to do something about it, will bring more ideas for solutions and begin a global warming awareness revolution. Like a domino effect, many others with follow these ideas, and change their daily routines to aid in stopping global warming.

Many do not realize how their daily activities can put a toll on our atmosphere. Many do not realize how this change in the atmosphere affects everything living in the earth’s habitats. If people just alter minor things, not leaving your car on when it is not needed, or burning Styrofoam in fires in the
