China and India help make planet leafier
My Reflection
The title of this article got my attention because I know both of these countries are known to be the most polluted and least environmentally conscious so I was shocked to see that this was the case. Though, I knew China was starting to clean its act due to how bad the air pollution was getting so it also made a lot of sense. At first, I was really happy that both of these countries were doing somethings beneficial to the environment but as I read on I realized that everything wasn’t as simple as I thought. The article stated that this wouldn’t be in any way helpful with climate change or any environmental issue as the CO2 levels too high for this to even change anything. Overall, this article made me realize that redeeming our mistakes won’t be as easy as planting trees, that this issue has become a lot more complex. However, it is good to know that scientists can observe these things and find the most optimal route to take for our planetary healing.
