  War, money and power are a few things that countries and people are concerned about.  1  I agree that those things are important, I believe that everyone should start to  2  more on a growing problem-global warming.

  Global warming will not only  3  our country and our generation, but also the entire  4  and future generations.It is  5  because the weather has been a lot warmer over the past few years, which  6  the melting(融化)of the ice in the Antarctic.This will soon cause water levels to  7  and flood parts of the world.

  Many people ignore this problem because they feel  8   they can't do anything about it and have more  9  things to worry about.If we all  10  so, then our ozone layer(臭氧层)will be  11  and the planet will no longer be able to make life continue to exist.We should do our best to limit the use of our planet's  12  resources(资源)and keep our air clean.  13  , future generations will suffer from our  14  

  Some might feel that they can't stop global warming from  15  .But if every single person does his or her part in keeping the air clean, then it will become a  16  effort.Sure, there are some things that cause pollution and that we won't be able to  17  change.This may include cars burning oil, but we can  18  adjust some of these things.People can start carpooling, taking the bus, riding their bikes, or  19  just walking.

  If everyone takes  20  now, I believe we can start seeing remarkable results within a few years.

New studies show how food and its production affect the globe and its climate. The process of making a hamburger, for example, requires loss of energy. A cow has to be fed and raised on farmland. And cow waste is a major source of methane(沼气)— 1  especially powerful greenhouse gas. The cow has to be killed. The meat has to be processed and shipped,  2  takes fuel. Most of the cow won’t even be used for meat people eat. By the time a hamburger finally lands o a dinner plate,  3 has made bad effect on the environment.

We can reduce the production of global warming gases by eating less beef. Other kinds of meat like pork and chicken do  4  harm to the environment ―at least  5  terms of the amount of greenhouse gases released.  6  , all kinds of meat are harder on the planet that vegetables.  7  changing our diet to less meat and more vegetables, as it turns  8  , may do the world some good.
