I think picture 4 is the most effective because the image is very striking and it immediately catches your attention. The message is strong and makes you think about the consequences of climate change.
1. “The Earth does not belong to us; we belong to the Earth.”
ResponderEliminar— Chief Seattle, Native American leader, 1887
I agree with this quote because it reminds us that humans are just one part of nature, not its owners. It suggests that we have a responsibility to protect the planet instead of exploiting it. When we see ourselves as belonging to the Earth, we understand that our survival depends on keeping it healthy.
2. “Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.”
— Gary Snyder, poet and activist, 1990
I also agree with this quote. It means that nature is not something separate from our everyday lives — it is our real home. Everything we need to live comes from nature: air, water, food, and resources. If we think of nature as our home, we are more likely to treat it with respect and care.

Starting a business at my age has easy and difficult parts. The easy part is that I know how to use technology, so I can share my idea online and use crowdfunding. I also have new ideas and a lot of energy. The difficult part is that I don’t have much money or experience, and some people may not trust someone so young. But crowdfunding can help me start without needing a lot of money.

1. “The Earth does not belong to us; we belong to the Earth.”
ResponderEliminar— Chief Seattle
I agree because this quote says that the Earth is not ours. We are part of the planet, so we must take care of it. We need the Earth to live, so keeping it healthy is important.
2. “Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.”
— Gary Snyder
I agree with this too. It means that nature is our real home. We get our air, water, and food from it. If we see nature as our home, we will look after it better.

Together, physics and chemistry help us understand nature and create new technologies.
