Özgü Naz ÖZTÜRKER
Human beings have been destroying and damaging the environmental resources from the day they existed on earth . Although the global warming and the other environmental issues have been a problem for years , in this decade it has started getting more attention from humans .
Nowadays it is popular to protect the environment . People have started lots of projects to minimise global warming and environmental issues . TED , as an educational organisation , can do lots of things to become the ‘ green leader ’. First of the main aims should be saving and protecting the environment ; after that they can start doing other things such as making students learn about the solutions . They can put solar panels on the top of the buildings which include sensors so they can provide most of the electricity they need . They can also separate the rubbish by its type . For example ; glass , plastic , food , battery , etc . After the separation they can put organic rubbishes in a compost drum , so they can make free fertilizer ( which is completely organic ) and reuse the rubbish in a useful way . The rubbishes which cannot be used as a fertilizer will be reused in other ways . Secondly , they can give speeches or organise competitions which will raise the students ’ awareness . This will also help the students in their future lives such as being aware of the problems and issues around the world . Most of the popular and important scientists say that in the near future there will be jobs which will be about the importance the environment . Lastly , they can organize some conferences about environment .
To conclude , TED can do lots of things to be the ‘ Green Leader ’. Being the green leader needs lots of awareness and effort . In the near future being aware of environmental problems and knowing the importance of the environment will be top topics and TED will always take the lead .
