“The Endangered Species Worst Nightmare”

    As we all know because of my previous blogs, there are many factors that contribute to the disappearance and endangering of many beautiful species, like using them for practice shooting, taking advantage for their fur, horns, etc, and of course the destruction of their habitats. Probably the last one is the most dangerous, but what causes most of the problems of forest fires, destruction of habitats, melting of poles, is pollution. One of the main causes of pollution is the extreme use of cars, buses, trucks etc. It is the most common factor of the production of pollution and it’s the one we can most contribute so it can be stopped.

    The situation seems to get even worse as the population grows every day. That’s why this must help us make conscience that the more people, the more cars, and of course the triple of pollution produced. There are some countries in which they do make something to reduce this type of problem. One example is Germany, my brother is currently living there for a year, and he tells us that it is very common for people to use bikes instead of cars, as a matter of fact, it’s more common to see people in bikes than in cars in some parts of Germany. Sadly in Mexico it is extremely rare to see someone riding his bike than using his car.

   If we can observe that the main cause of endangered species is pollution, then that gives us more reasons to help eradicate this problem, like for example in Germany, we may also start using our bikes more often instead of our cars to arrive to our destinations.
