No matter what career path someone chooses, there are so many choices we make every day (little and big) that have impacts for us all. But don’t let yourself get discouraged—be a positive force in this world, one person can and does make a difference. Hopefully the rest of them will catch up sooner than later!

Ive tried to talk my friends into forming a group that will do so. But my friends find it a waste of time. I was wondering if your school is a government funded school and if it was a christian school. My school is a christian school and focuses its money on religion rather than whats realy happening right here and now. =] Ben (15) (Aus)

It’s also awesome that your school bothers to do this with you guys - the fact is, schools exist to help us grow into productive and beneficial citizens, and it sounds like your school is doing that. Awesome. Don’t be too surprised at the reactions of your classmates - you’re definitely way ahead of them in your response to these issues. At your age, it’s normal to be a lot more focused on yourself than on other, bigger issues - it’s just a natural part of development. However, let’s hope that you can help your friends see the importance of what they’re learning in your responses to it, and in your lifestyle and goals.

Now, Deaf people already have Eco-Deaf Website to promote the environment awareness, caring environment like the plants and animals, and its ecosystems in the world, teach to new Deaf and Hard of Hearing people about refuse and recycle the cans, glasses, and plastic bottles, etc. We need to educate more, more, more people in our Precious Earth no matters what the people are. We are the people, the people of Color, and the people with Disabilities, and the diversity of people around our Precious Earth. Thank you, Henry M. Gosebrink

I’m going into 11th grade and last year there were actually people in my chem class who said they didn’t believe in global warming. I was so shocked I think that was what really set me off to do everything I can, no matter how small, to help the environment Message me to talk:)
