1 They would learn how to work as part of a team and also develop a greater sense of responsibility, which are useful qualities for future careers.
2 Young people are already under a lot of pressure with their studies or work.
3 Young people travel to school or work using cars or public transport which makes the problem of air pollution worse.
Our Earth is threatened by serious environmental problems, such as pollution and deforestation. I feel that all young people should get involved and help to protect it. Firstly, environmental work would benefit young people in their future. It would be an excellent opportunity for them to learn valuable teamwork skills and gain a greater sense of responsibility. Because of this, they would be better qualified in the job market.
Secondly, young people help to cause environmental problems so they should help to solve them. For example, young people use a lot of gadgets and electrical equipment which use a lot of energy Planting trees or cleaning up beaches would help make up for this. However, some people believe it is unfair to force young people to give up their free time. They are already under a great deal of pressure from their studies or work.
All in all, I believe young people should get involved with environmental protection. They get valuable experience and learn to look after the environment responsibly.
