Penguins in trouble worldwide
In Carol Kaesuk Yoon’s (2001) article, “Penguins in trouble worldwide,” she writes about both the facts that many species of penguins are endangered by some pollution, and how to solve the problem. First, she mentions that there are many disappearing penguins, even if they are different species. She adds there are already over half of all penguin species on the threatened or endangered lists. And, she explains that penguins are endangered by climate change, overfishing and oil spills. She claims that their lovely appearance and people’s attentions can be solutions of the problem. She says that the toxic iron can be one of the causes of temperature change of the ocean, also. According to her article, melting glacier is real problem for the decline of penguins’ population, in fact. However, she claims that the problem can be overcome by attracting people’s attention with their cute appearance. She gives some examples such as safeguarding them with money from tourists and movements by companies.
In fact, the problem about the threat to penguins has been mentioned for a long time. Although there are many causes of the problem, especially, global warming is one of the huge causes that is not easy to settle. Because it is an enormous problem, it is the great way that tourists and some companies can help the endangered penguins. So, it is necessary to get help from individuals and big commercial companies to solve the problem, and we need to think about the solution on the world level, also.
First of all, any help individuals can provide is necessary to save the endangered penguins. It is not really important whether their help is big or small. For example, you can help the penguins only by reducing the use of your own private car, because it causes global warming with some toxic gas. Even though it is not directly related to saving the threatened penguins, it does not make global warming worse. Otherwise, if you have enough money to donate for the treatment of the penguins injured by either global warming or any accident, donation to any animal association can be one of the great helps. Whatever you do, these things can help penguins to survive and to be treated.
Second, help of the commercial companies such as advertisements and donations is also significant in a recovery of a bad environment. In this case, there can be two different types of aid. First, it is possible to encourage people’s movement, which is connected with individual real life, to change their everyday lifestyles. If one company tries to promote the movement with advertisement about helping the endangered penguins and it is successful, the company can make an enormous number of people think about the problem with only one advertisement. The second way is that the company directly donates to other associations related to penguins. With donating their money, the company can help the endangered animal, and also gets the effect of good public relations
Finally, countries in the world have to think of the problem as their own problem. That is, it is possible to recover the clean environment when a lot of countries are connected to solving the problem. Because the world is not separated, all countries are responsible for recovering the environment and saving the endangered animals such as penguins. So, all countries should join together to protect not only the endangered penguins, but also any kinds of threatened animals. Moreover, the governments of the countries have to control their industrial factories, whether they cause global warming or not. It will be helpful in the future to stop global warming.
In conclusion, it is necessary for saving penguins to encourage people and commercial companies to pay attention and to donate for saving penguins. Additionally, getting all countries to work together is also important. Before you criticize environmental problems such as global warming, it would be helpful for the endangered animal if you think about what you can do for them in your situation. In the future, if our descendants cannot see the lovely penguins, it will be considered one of the biggest of our faults. We are responsible for preserving our earth with a clean environment. If we try to preserve our environment, this kind of problem will disappear in our life.

Penguins and global warming (Summary and response #1)
Penguins and global warming
In Jimenez-David’s article, “Penguins and global warming,” she writes that there is a remarkable problem between penguins and global warming. First, she mentions the animation movie, “Happy Feet,” about penguins, which included an environmental message to show that penguins have been endangered by global warming around Antarctica. According to the article, the environmental problem is caused by not only global warming, but also pollution. Moreover, she explains that the sea level is going up steadily because global warming causes the temperature of the earth to rise, so glaciers will be melt in the future. However, she claims that we can prevent this global warming if we try to pay attention more about the cause of the problem and change our bad lifestyle.
As the author mentions, because of the rising of the temperature due to global warming, penguins have become one of the endangered animals. Actually, penguins are considered an Antarctic animal, so they need cold weather. However, today, the glaciers tend to melt themselves because of high temperature. If this situation still continues, there will be no penguin anymore in the future. Moreover, this situation is for not only penguins, but also other animals. Therefore, people should use public transportation and the industrial factories should have purifiers. Moreover, people should pay more attention to endangered animals such as penguins.
First, people have to use more public transportation rather than their own cars. As you can see in the many studies, global warming is caused by carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuel. If all people use their own cars, the emission of carbon dioxide would be a more serious problem. Because we cannot stop using the vehicle, use of the public vehicles is the best choice we can make. In addition, the public transportation can transport from 20 to 30 persons. It is more efficient than the privately owned car, also.
Next, the owners of factories should equip each industrial factory with a purifier. The purifier is the equipment that purifies the polluted air. In fact, it is not really wrong that the global warming was started during the industrial revolution. Because many factories emit amounts of the polluted air when they are working, the earth cannot purify all of them. So, all factories should be required to have the purifier.
Finally, people have to take care of the endangered animals such as penguins. With global warming, there are a lot of endangered animals, even besides penguins. First of all, they need our attention. Actually, they are in danger of disappearing forever because we did not pay any attention to them before. If we had known that global warming would happen and it world cause some animals to disappear, we could keep the fresh air of the earth. Because we did not think about them, we could not know what would happen, today.
In conclusion, people should use their privately owned cars less for conserving the endangered animals. Also, the industrial factories should be equipped with the purifiers and people have to pay attention to the endangered animals. Even though some areas already have the problems, it is not really late to preserve them. If we try to find the way to save the endangered animals and make the environment fresh, we can keep our earth in clean condition.

Global warming (Summary and Response practice)
Global warming
In Bhattacharya’s (2004) article, “Global warming threatens millions of species,” she writes about how much global warming affects land animals and plants. She claims that many land animals and plants may be endangered by global warming in a few decades. Also, she mentions both previous and new studies that are about the relationship between global warming and species. And, she adds the new study is most detailed and exact. Moreover, the author says 1103 species may currently be expected to live in the future, even though it is hot in the world. However, she claims that even though some species would live, it is not all species that can be adapted to the weather. Finally, she claims the governments have to think of some solutions and develop new energy.
It is true that global warming is threatening many species, including humans. Actually, global warming is one of the serious problems in the world, today. Because of the increasing use of fossil fuel, the temperature of the atmosphere has been increasing for a long time. So, the author’s opinion of making solutions and developing new energy should be considered seriously, because of the extinction of animals, alternative energy and climate change.
First, global warming causes some animals to disappear in the world. For example, a polar bear that lives in polar area cannot live in the warm weather because the animal has adapted to the cold weather. Also, the polar bear needs to stay with a glacier above the water. If the weather is so warm that the glacier may be melted, all polar bears will be exterminated in the world. Moreover, our descendants will not be able to see the polar bear anymore.
Second, the government should develop other alternative energy, even if it is not for global warming. Because we use a large amount of fossil fuel, the fossil fuel is going to become extinct. For keeping all industry or our life, the government should develop other kinds of alternative energy. In addition, developing alternative energy will be helpful for global warming because it makes people not use fossil fuel anymore. Actually, using fossil fuel makes a lot of polluted air and causes global warming. So, it is very helpful to develop alternative energy.
Finally, the government should stop global warming because of climate change. Actually, there are many kinds of climate changes in the world, today. For example, there are some odd situations such as snowing in April or blooming of flowers during winter. The odd situation is caused by climate change that is caused by global warming. It is not a serious situation now. However, if they happen for a long time, people cannot ignore the situation anymore. It will be a serious problem in the future.
In conclusion, the author’s opinion should be respected because of extinction of species, need of new alternative energy and climate change. Not only should the government think about the solution to stop global warming, but also all individuals should think about that, too. The scale of global warming is not small, so it is impossible to solve the problem if just some groups try to change it. When everyone tries to settle the problem, it is going to get better.
