Do young people help the environment?

In language we had to write an essay on this statement : "Unfortunately, young people are not interested in helping the Environment."

Currently, the Environment is suffering a lot due to human acts. Global warming and pollution are increasing year after year; this is damaging us, likewise the whole planet. 

"Teenagers nowadays are not interested in protecting the environment". That's what many people think but I cannot support the view that all of them don't care about It. In fact Many adolescentes are part of helping organizations. Also adults take a really important role in polluting, specifically in air pollution when they use their cars.

I fully support the idea that if children are aware of the environmental protection, they'll care of it. However I strongly disagree with the fact that everyone talks about the topic but nobody does anything in order to solve it. In contrast there are Many organizations that help the environment, similar to the way Green Peace cooperates.

It isn't difficult to start helping nature, we can begin by sepearing the rubbish. Something it can indeed sound strange although it'a a good way of starting. I'm in agreement to start changing the world. What about you?
