ESSAY QUESTION:
Give an actual example of thinking globally and acting
locally.
My response= by thinking globally about the trash in the
world’s oceans, we can act locally by recycling here in Maryland. By recycling
in Maryland, we can reduce the amount of trash that build up in the Chesapeake Bay.
If we keep our small bay in Maryland clean, other places might follow our lead
and the ocean will start to be cleaner. For example, I do know that when my
family used to live in New Jersey they had to recycle their soda cans. If
Maryland passed a law that forces us to recycle, the Bay would improve.
