“Talking Trash” Andy Rooney
This article discuss issues that involves how American are being
wasteful. For example; Rooney states “how much garbage New
York City makes and where most of it comes from is
packaging” (Rooney, 2002, pgs. 354-355). Since I feel that the
global issue of this essay focuses on national resources, I
decided to choose this article because where I live this is also a
problem with our environment. People dumping trash every day,
which I feel is ok but using other type off garbage such as
boxes, bottles, newspapers, cans, and paper bags can be recycle
and use for other purposes. Today, people do not recycle
anymore and this has cause a problem of people using up all our
national resources. As pointed out by the author (Rooney) “The
Earth could end up as one huge, inhabitable dump.”(Rooney,
2002, pg. 355) This why I believe instead of dumping garbage
we should consider recycling things that we no longer needs in
order to help our national resources and protect our environment
for the future generations to come.
“The Obligation to Endure” Rachel Carson
This article discusses how chemicals are harmful to the
environment. This would be main the global issue in to why I
chose this article because I am concerned about my environment
and what I can do to protect it. People uses chemical every day,
for example; to paint, kill unwanted pesticides, and hair spray.

2. However, today most chemicals are use in the farming business.
The points presented in this essay shows that we are not as
much aware of how chemicals have become of the biggest
problem that are affecting not only our environment but
animals, food, and people as well. My uncle works as a farm
laborer and they uses many chemicals in order to get rid of bugs
or pesticides that are on crops. Carson states ““Can anyone
believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of poisons on
the surface of the earth without making it unfit for all life”
(Carson, 1962, pg. 348)? I believe this to true because in some
places chemicals have been a major cause of many health
problems and often death. So, given the article view concerning
chemicals, I would have to agree because chemicals have
affected our lives and environment.
