Global warming is the reason for many environmental problems in my country. Indonesia is dependent on motorized means of transportation, which produces CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Still, many people prefer the privacy of their own vehicle to public transportation. The weather getting is getting hotter every day and our forests are cut down.
The general public in Indonesia has not realized yet how serious the issue of global warming is. Some think that if we use a motorcycle instead of a car there is less damage done to the environment. My goal is to take action against global warming in my community and raise the awareness for all the steps we can take as individuals to improve the situation. I hope that, in time, people will realize how important this issue is.
