A Good Future for Bad Past

    Most countries in the world are in economic crisis. Most are exposed to climate change. They are all trying to be much better for their people. But there is something more important than these problems. We should be together to overcome these problems. All countries should try to help each other. Only this way we can end the problems.

    There are many problems in the world that we must solve. For example, some countries have very poor education. But why developed countries don't help these countries for the way of education. Other examples are the problems of Global Warming and Climate Change. Like  Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Kiribati, Madagascar, Maldives, Nepal, Philippines, Tanzania, East Timor, and Vietnam cannot protect themselves against global warming and climate change. There are other problems like water scarcity or air pollution in these countries to cope with.

    We can stop these problems. If all countries in the world work together against these global problems, we can offer a better future to the next generations.

    How? It is very easy. Developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the Netherlands can offer both financial assistance and educational help to underdeveloped countries such as Afghanistan and Nepal. For example, a certain number of students from underdeveloped countries can go to developed countries each year and receive education.  In this way, if the student studying there starts to work there, it both provides tax to the state and contributes to himself/herself.

    In the Middle East, which is the most important oil resource of the world, there are wars just because of money and this affects all the countries in the world.

   The correct usage of resources without wasting also provides us a more sustainable future. Other countries, except the United States and all the Eastern countries, are slowly consuming all their oil and usable fuel. And that's why they start Foreign Trade. However, if people become conscious and learn to use their oil more properly, it will help the countries that have to buy it.

   Agriculture in most countries is quite scarce, hormones are added to fruits or vegetables. There are few places where agriculture can be done because climate crisis increases.

    Because of the climate crisis and global warming, Arctic ice is melting, causing parts of Italy and especially Venice to flood. The water in Venice increases by 1.48 centimetres every year. And if this is not averted, Venice will be submerged by year of 2049.

    In India, China and countries like these, air pollution has skyrocketed. It is hard to find fresh air , visibility is low. You can prevent this. The density of exhaust fumes can be reduced and the use of perfume and deodorant can be reset.

    The world's problems do not end there, the waste that ships release into the sea while swimming causes dozens of fish to be poisoned and even killed. And when people eat these fish, they actually get poisoned. There are dozens of undiscovered species of fish in the waters, and we destroy them before we can even see them. And we have to stop it.

        And all the countries in the world can unite and do many things about it. Campaigns can be organized. They can unite and stimulate people and, most importantly, create awareness.

    As a result, there are dozens of reasons and things for countries to unite and provide a more sustainable future for young people and everyone. A better future means a better generation and a better world.
