14million hectare of forest, which is roughly the entire national territory area of Napel, is disappearing annually. Also, 1/5 of the world’s coral reef, 1/3 of the world’s mangrove forest and 1/2 of the world’s wetland have already disappeared. To make it worse, the thickness of the ice cover on the North/South Pole has decreased for 40%, and the record of peak temperature has been refreshing for years.
Now the population on earth has reached 7billion, and is expected to break 9billion in 2050. So please imagine what a tough environmental disaster our Mother Erath is suffering from! Fortunately, things can be better ever if we just move a small step forward. Since the Earth Day is coming, why not having a close view of environment protection and trying to find out the greener alternatives for our daily life via a knowledge contest on this topic? Just paint your idea out, and we may record a video to make widely spread.
