Animals can face a climate change which will change the conditions they live in. Animals have to learn how to adapt the climate and it can cause death and severe problems. Also the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico harmed many sea animals. They were stuck with oil on them, the oil destroyed plants and food and homes for animals.

I believe recycling is important because it can be a impact on help saving the environment. Recycling is important because, for example if we keep continuing deforestation it will affect the environment, people and animals. But if we recycle things that trees are used to make then less trees we have to cut down. Recycling is a great way to go green and keep the environment a safe place for animals, plants and people.
