"When it comes to the Environment, we youths should be on the frontline, because we shall spend much part of our lives in the future, when the older generation is gone, and definetely we'll be on the receiving end for today's environmental degradation."

"Are we going to sacrifice our future generations for our luxuries -- leave aside comfort. Deforestation -- cutting of Tropical Rain Forest Belt to make factories, dumping nuclear waste in the seas, leaving radiation emitting devices on the clean snow covered mountains,ushring plastic era. This is what we are leaving for our future generation. Can polluted minds think clean! Start environment protecting prgrams at the earliest stages in the classrooms. WE have only one home -- our Earth! PROTECT IT!"

"The environment is very crucial to all aspects of a human life be it physical, mental social, academic, even the spiritual life! but in a world where many parts are experiencing decay, something urgent needs to be done. I term decay as a situation where an environment fails to produce an adequately healthy environment for its inhabitants and the fabrics of this urban environment are either obsolete, inadquate, damaged or insufficient. By fabrics, i mean the road networks, the drainage, sewerage systems, refuse disposal, etc. A little while after this, what we have is massive environmental degradation which of course leads to slum formation."

"About the world's environment, I think that we have to find out the most ways to prevent the air conlusion such as: making the hight taxes to the factories,using the high techology in produce with little or without poisonous smoke, quickly educating everyone about the bad effects of this. In fact, that is only just our worthless words if we still do nothing for that."

Global Warming
"Climatic change is very common in almost all the world nowadays. The concept of global warming has come to reality but we see most of the developed countries like America expanding its industries. The external effects of pollution are not taken into account and this destroys the Earth. What do authorities, governments, environmental economists and other analysts say about this issue? People are suffering!"

"much successes could be achieved if the public is informed on environmental issues. my country nigeria, cares less on this part. they should make the public expecially youths and women understand that our actions today in the environment will affect our future life through the use of integrated public conscientization and sensitization campaign approaches by involving the stakeholder ie the youths."

"Measured by the number of people who have a reasonable means of getting and adequate amount of clean water, expressed as a percentage of the total population. It reflects the health of a country's people and the country's ability to collect, clean, and distribute water. In urban areas 'reasonable' access means there is a public fountain or water spigot located within 200 meters of the household. In rural areas, it implies that members of the household do not have to spend excessive time each day fetching water. Water is safe or unsafe depending on the amount of bacteria in it. An adequate amount of water is enough to satisfy metabolic, hygienic, and domestic requirements, usually about 20 liters (about 4 gallons) per person per day."
