Many say we are\nthe future generation, despite this some say we are too young to have an\nopinion on politics, or financial crisis so are we really the future generation?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most say yes we are 100% the future generation of today,\ntomorrow and in 20 years so ultimately our parents would be the previous\ngeneration. Now even though I am just twelve you don\u2019t need to be old or young\nto know that there is pollution everywhere, nowadays we live in a world where\npetrol fuels everything from our cars to everyday foods like ham or fries or\neven vegetables everything is in mass production 24\/7. I know I am only twelve\nwe don\u2019t have an opinion until we are eighteen, according to the law but\neverybody matters because pollution isn\u2019t recent it has been 200 years that we\nhave discovered petrol and it has had a colossal impact on the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a duty as humans no matter how sophisticated we are,\nwe are still a part of nature for 200 years we have ignored all the cries of\nmother nature all the natural disasters she has cast upon to warn us but that\nhas to stop now. The government of course has a huge impact on our well-being\nand everyday life&nbsp; however the government can make 100s of laws but it\u2019s\nup to the people who live in the country to change it. We must work as a\nfamily, a community, a country and most importantly we must work together as\nearth is our only home. Earth has given us many luxuries from clean water to\nfood nourish our body, trees to clean and purify and most importantly give us\noxygen to survive. There\u2019s lots more the earth has done but we saw what was a\nbeautiful paradise is no 5 star hotels with buildings everywhere we take and\ntake with limit we used nature credit card.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We won\u2019t realise how important the earth was, until it is all gone everything and with us destroying everything it will be the cause of our own destruction as you destroying what keeps us alive is not only being selfish killing all species of animals it is killing us in the process.You could be campaigning for many beliefs like religion, women rights, gay rights, racism, in the end will it matter? We are blinded by luxury. For example a supermarket if you have money you can buy as many biscuits as you want and eat but it will make you fat . So like taking lots of Biscuits it\u2019s far more serious we are taking the resources that spectacular planet has provided we will never realise how important it is until it\u2019s all gone. So what would be left for me ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Shenali01-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Shenali01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Shenali01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Shenali01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Shenali01.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the destruction&nbsp;\ncaused<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Emma Boschmans I see the effect of climate change every day when I am 18 I may have a voice according to law but what would be let for me.
