My abstract proposal will be based on habitat destruction. Habitat destruction is currently ranked as the primary cause of species extinction worldwide. The obvious reason of this destruction occuring is to provide natural resources, but I believe this is taking its toll. I will inform the audience on some of the effects on destroying the environment can effect animals and human nature itself. I will also include the types of production/company's being held when habitats are destroyed and also provide some solutions to spread the word about these events occurring in our world.
ReplyDeleteMy abstract proposal will most be based on Global Warming. Global warming is one of those topics that you see on the internet, stating that its a hoax and it doesn't do any harm. I will to explain/give examples of things that may cause global warming. I will do my best to persuade and also inform the audience that this is a serious problem; and something needs to be done immediately.
ReplyDeleteWater is like oxygen without it any living organism won't survive, we depend on it. If we don't have purified water the whole world is basically mest up. Water is the most important part of the world we are supposed to take care of it not waste it. Without water there are no humans. Why? because plants need water and we need plants in order to breathe. I'm really interested to research about water, how it has been contaminated, how is being wasted. What would happen if we waste the water, if its contaminated and it can not be purified again. There are toxic gasses being made, with out yet knowing what are the causes of it.
ReplyDeleteMy abstract proposal will be about the polution in the water. The way the people can avoid the water polution is by avoiding to litter. Water contamination can effect in a lot of ways starting with the our drinking water and the animals habitat.
