WE DO CARE ABOUT ENVIRONMENT!!

Although my DBH 4 pupils needed more than an hour to write their opinion about environmental problems, they finally articulated a short text, in the best of the cases, or a paragraph (in the best of the cases too). Here we have their opinions:

• Joseba: 'I agree with the animals protectors because the hunters of wild animals hunt a lot of animals and if they go on killing them, they will disappear.'
• Adrian: 'As I see, the real problem of environment is cars pollution and the rubbish people produce. Cars pollute air a lot and roads break forests, mountains and kill a lot of animals. Then the rubbish we produce pollute land a lot, and therefore plants don't grow, and the water, so they kill a lot of animals.
• Ibai: ' As I see it, the real problem is the hunting of wild animals. I don't agree with hunting wild animals because the hunters hunt animals to earn money or to keep them in their houses. Animals are disappearing and we have to do something, we can't leave this problem, we have to demonstrate against hunters. And the zoos? It is an animal prison; please, demonstrate against hunters.
• Pablo: 'My opinion about cars is negative. I don't agree with cars that don't pass the exams of air pollution, because if no one passes this tests air pollution will go sky high and there will be more problems. As I see it, cars should be more ecological for the environment, because if we don't do that environment will be in a serious situation and the world can extinguish.'
• Edurne:
  1) 'I think world's environment is in crisis, like our economy. It is very important for all living things and particularly for me, I'm afraid that we can destroy the world in a very short time.'
  
  
  
  2) 'I think that isn't as important as in USA or UK. In lots of countries like those they have a very big problem but in our country isn't extremely problematic, but I agree with some ecological groups: we have to start thinking and doing something now because if we don't we can become a very dangerous country for our planet like UK, USA...'
  
  
  3) 'It doesn't bother me a lot because I can't drive cars yet. But I can say this for adults and car drivers: cars are very practical and very useful for anybody in this country but we can pollute less if we use public transport like the bus, underground or trains. And of course we shouldn't use car to do things that we can do without it or doing stupid things.'
  
  
  4) 'Helping to protect wildlife is important too because they're innocent animals and plants. They're very special for our planet because we're destroying sorts of animals and plants every week. They're like us, and they don't deserve to die.'
  
  
  5) 'As I see it, the real problem is hunting. It's horrible and unfair, I can't argue about this because is cruel for living wildlife. I could't care more about it becouse it's a very important fact if we want to look after our planet.'
• Nerea: CARS: 'As I see it, the real problem are cars. They pollute a lot because they use fuel and this is bad for environment.
  Nowadays we pollute more, because now everybody has a car.'
  
  HUNTING WILD ANIMALS:
  'I reckon the main problem is hunting wild animals. I don't understand how people can hunt them, because this animals will disappear and hunters won't be able to hunt or even see them any more.'
