  6. I could learn and think about lots of things.
    So, this is what I am thinking.

    The world is created by so many things, for example education, welfares, economy, society, ecology, sun, water and so on. If one of them is lacked, some bad situation will come to the world such as climate crisis, war, discrimination, panic and so on.
    This shows our behaviors have responsibilities. If somebody badly acts, something bad is going to happen. So, I also have responsibility as Japanese, which are people in a developed country.
    I think the people in developed country are also creators of Global Warming, and there is somebody who is in trouble of Global Warming because of us. Then, we cannot neglect it and think about lots of things for climate crisis and do something.
    But, I also think just to think and do something is easy way to say, so I want find my new concept for it.

    1. The Road Not Taken


    TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same, 10

    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.

    Robert Frost(1874-1963)

  8. I thought a little things to do is important for global warming such as recycling, stop using air conditioner and so on.
    However, I think we need much bigger project for global warming as soon as possible not just a little things because this problem is too serious to do only little things.
    But it's difficult.....

  9. i had a deep and thinkable time to discuss about "Global Warming" and the film "An Inconvinient Truth".
    i felt what i know is not enough to see all over the world. there are someone who have different idea.
    exchanging idea with people from other countries even from other part of japan gives me to expand my view of eyes.
    thinking the problems of world level is tough, but

    now the time to start.

    When it comes to nature, it is very difficult for us to determine whether something is the real cause or it is just naturally occuring. But, it doesn`t matter for what we believe in. What matters is what we can do to save our nature...there is no harm on acting on it. With just a single gesture of good act may lead to a bigger effect.

  14. What I influenced the most today is we have to do something for Global Warming.
    We watched the movie, 'The Inconvenient Truth', and thought it that is problem all of the world not just for certain country.
    We really impressed to Francis.
    Thanks to him.I got a lot of information.

    What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know.
    It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.
