Write 5 reasons why do you agree or disagree about the aim of the author, support your ideas base on the facts. Is this far away of our reality and if is not, write at least 10 daily routines that as Salvadorans we do against the Natural resources. (30%)
After watching the video I feel very useless since I am not doing anything to improve the
environment so as not to reach that future, if I am afraid of such a future and live in a time

regret later, I agree with the author 1. because I don't want to live in such a reality, 2. I want to see my
children grow, 3. we have to act taking care of the environment, 4. we can still avoid it, 5. I
want a good future for everyone.
this reality is not very far.
routines we do against the environment; burning tires, garbage dumps, water pollution,
hunting animals, a lot of fuel use, we are practically destroying our own planet
