1. What is your reaction to this?
I think people are not aware of this problem because they cannot see it directly. But the worst problem is not people using aerosols, I think the worst problem right now is the pollution that factories creates. The speed of the contamination generation is bigger than the speed of the Earth can cancel it out.
2. Share your ideas on how you can contribute in protecting the environment.
As a person we can avoid aerosols. We can reuse plastic bags and other items or recycle plastic and glass items.
3. Have you ever done any volunteer works to help save the environment?
No, I have not. But I would like to be a volunteer, but I have not found a good NGO.
4. Do you reduce, reuse, and recycle? Why or why not?
Yes I do. I reuse plastic bags and glass jars. When I have a shower I save the cold water in a bucket while waiting hot water to come; then I use this water for the toilet.
I do it because Earth and nature matter to me.
