Nowadays, young people are not interested in helping the environment. It cannot support the view that adolescents have towards taking care of our planet.

I fully agree with the statement that young people don't help the environment. In comparison to the past, people are lazier nowadays and, in fact, I believe that is the reason why they do not do anything for the environment.

I strongly disagree with the people who pollute the environment and could prevent it. Contrary to the past, currently we indeed contaminate more and, specifically, that is why I believe young people should be aware of helping the environment.

What people should do, and what people do.

To sum up, I fully support the idea that young people do not care about the environment, since, in contrast to people in other ages, they do not realize that they are damaging the environment, whe they shoul help it.
