The Concerns of the Social and Environmental Problems Of The United States
The Environmental problems and Social problems that relate with each other in the United States and their resolutions are:
Landfill overflow and immigration: Due to more immigrants coming to the United State this caused the population to rise and where there are more people, there is more garbage and waist. The solution to this problem is to make people more educated about recycling. If we get more people to recycle there would be less garbage and pollution. The Government also should step in and make stricter laws about immigration and recycling.
Natural Disasters and Healthcare: When people suffer from a natural disaster most likely they loose everything. They are no longer able to afford the things that they once did. The United States health care system is one the worst in the world. People are forced to apply for Medicaid or even worse go outside of the county for better health care. The solution to this problem is easy. The Government needs to step in create more long-term help groups. They can also regulate the doctors and the price of obtaining health insurance to make it more affordable. The Health Insurance companies are making so much money because they are paying less and less out of their pockets. The Government can stop this.

The Obligation to Endure.
Earth's vegetation and its animal life have been molded by the environment for many many years, but now this is left up to man. We have taken on the power to alter the nature of this world. It is now our obligation to endure the responsibility to take a stand in caring for the environment. It is our obligation to make our selves aware of all the different assault's by man to the air, earth, rivers and seas. We need to remind ourselves the worse we make it the harder it is going to be to turn it around. The world is really in our hands. Lets all make a stand in taking the obligation to insure that their will still be a healthy earth left for our children and their children beyond that.
