I currently attend Clinton High School on the outskirts of San Jose. Since the year 1993, no action has been taken to resolve the environmental problems within the US, but third world nations are prospering because they started to preserve their rain- forests. Many US citizens are packing up and heading to Zaire, where large amounts of coal and oil reserves have been found. Just like the United States, Zaire will become a nation with a failing economy and no natural resources. The biggest problem in the States is pollution.
Air pollution is at an all time high due to our stupidity.
We could have stopped the production of cars and switched to HydroShoes, which run only off of water, like France and Germany did, but politicians felt it would be too drastic a change. Furthermore, President Bill Clinton decided to send all of our garbage into space in 1996 instead of recycling when he introduced Project No-Garbage. To clean up this mess, the public elected President Mick Jagger to deal with the environmental issues. President Jagger became the leader of the country when he promised the public that he would clean up the environment and help the economy. His first action as president was to take care of the massive droughts in the Central United States.
