The environment is important. It is life. People have to remember that before humans graced this earth, there was Mother Nature. Mother Nature takes care of us and we should take care of her. Animals lived on this planet before we did, but we take worse care of it then animals ever did. We as humans are practically ruining our own home.
I think until recently, a lot of people didn’t know about conserving energy or how to reduce pollution. I did not know until I saw reports on it.
The world needs someone to inform the public about the world they live in. Whatever it is whether people, animals, or the environment, people should not be ignorant about the world they live in. If it wasn’t for someone going out researching how would anyone really know what was going on with the environment. Of course, there are environmental journalists but not a lot.
I am not a scientist. I just love nature. Even if I don’t always think about it, I truly enjoy nature. When I get a chance to be outdoors, I relish in the feeling of seeing green and feeling wind in my hair. It is usually better when there aren’t a lot of people around. It is the best feeling regardless. However, whenever I am enjoying it, I can’t help but wonder how long the green will really last.
Maybe this class will help me help inform people about the environment. That is why I want to learn environmental reporting.

We need more good environmental journalists, Nhu! Hope your interest is stoked by the class you're taking. If you haven't already, check out the Society of Environmental Journalists at www.sej.org Special membership rates for students, and an annual award for outstanding student journalism.
