Personal Essay: Opening

Every Canadian needs to be aware of our contributions to our planet. Most contributions further humankind, but leave drastic effects on our earth. The matter at hand is about our environment. We as a society contribute vast damage to our surroundings. With a low population, one would think that we could control ourselves. Evidence of our control proves otherwise, as each generation of Canadians is worse than the previous. Environmental conditions need to be forced more severely onto our shoulders. We as Canadians are rich in luxuries, and because of this we feel the need to do whatever we want, without caring about the consequences of our actions.
