My issue is the dependence of fossil fuels in the world. This is important to me because the world is running out these energy sources. This matters because the world is becoming more and more polluted, china is a great example of bad air pollution and the great amount use of fossil fuels and how this use impacts peoples health and food supply (2014, February 25). China's toxic air pollution resembles nuclear winter, say scientists). I hope that this will make people aware of the global consequences of using fossil fuels in the large amount that they are being used today. This should be important to others different that me because it impacts everyone. The article I read explains how china has more difficulty to grow food because the process of photosynthesis. Just because this bad air pollution is in china does not mean it does not impact us here. An article in the New York Times states that “Filthy emissions from China’s export industries are carried across the Pacific Ocean and contribute to air pollution in the Western United States…” (2014, January 20). China Exports Pollution to U.S., Study Finds) this is why people should care about the use of large amounts of fossil fuels.
