i think that the Ecuadorian schools have to implement a curriculum that focused on environmental conservation because all the students that graduate in high school have to be able to know about the problems that the earth has, to know all the good and bad things that could happen if we don{t take care of our world. I think that it don{t have disadvantages because if we know more things about our environment we are going to be able to help with our knowledge we can teach people don{t know nothing about the environment.
other point that we can mention is that we in this times are passing for a hard time with all the problems of the global warming, the ozone layer that have a part destroyed for all the contamination that we make here, all the plastic that we use and cant recycle because people don't care about doing something for save the planet or just simply because many people could thing that is a very hard job and they don't do it.
most of the people think that this of the environmental problems of the nature. but it could be that but we have to know that if we contaminated we are not going to have to much pure air to bread, and if we still destroyed the trees to make paper, and wood or just for fun that is to bad! the trees help us, they produce oxygen and purify the air.
I think that the government should implement the High Schools and also the school to teach about the environment and to teach the students to plant trees or plants that also help our environment

Hi, my name is Matias Polar and I am on the affirmative side agreeing with the resolution "The Ecuadorian High School Education system should implement a curriculum that focuses on environmental conservation".
According to an article on the page http://londoncoder.wordpress.com/2007/06/13/the-importance-of-the-environment/ written by Jan Banister "Something that strikes me as amazing is the almost universally consistent lack of environments for developers. As development becomes progressively more N-Tier and as N grows the task of development is becoming intertwined with that of hardware logistics."
A strategy that is really important to perform is the education of children in the ecological way of life. There is no other way to help the earth but to teach the children the possible consequences of our present acts as we kill the earth. My opponent might say that if we want to help the ecological resources of the Earth we should do it now because we do not have time to do it. I would say that we do. By creating and capacitating childrens minds focusing on the place that they live is the most valuable way of conservating our planet. Also, it will help if we impose critical thinking on the children by making them think of ideas, technological or simple, that might reduce the way we use the earths resources.
According to an article written by the environment expert David William Watts acquired on the page http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Importance-of-the-Environment-and-the-Role-of-a-Non-Domestic-Energy-Assessor&id=3896658
"Mankind has been terribly bad to nature. It is true that we have evolved from nature, but instead of being thankful, man has exploited nature for his own interest."
We should do something about that, and that is why I strongly agree with the resolution. The future of our Earth depends on our prensent acts and we must act for the future of th world, the young.

Am Michelle Hernandez and i said that the Ecuadorian high school education system should implement a curriculum that focuses on environmental conservation. This is because we need to take care of the environment, doing this we learn about the world and everything that is around us. The U.S. Department of State indicated that the pesticides contaminated food and water, but is also hurt the ozone, damaging it and in a long term making a problem form our self, bat we are so comfortable that we do not understand what we are going through. Cambridge also follows this theory. My oponant my side that this would be replaced by one class or take us time but the real deal is that doing this we doing in groups, we had fun, and we help others. We can do this one day. on Monday or Friday so we can{t loss the sports time.
In conclusion this is good for us and the plant, so we should be possitive and help others, this life and we should be happy doing it.

Some high schools in the world used to have extracurricular activities that I consider are always helping students to develope their skills and in a lot of cases, their own talent.

These activities are supported by the schools, government and if these are privates, for themselves and their parents.

People sometimes says that the practice of extracurricular activities are an excellent opportunity to do something else than just the school's education program. My oponent might say that these activities are just a waste of time and also, increase more pressure in kids life, but I heard my friends before and they said that they love to do anything else than homework, for example.

We are always listening the negatives and positives opinions about this, but we should hear about innovations in the educational system, such as, the practice of the environmental conservation, improve in the education system.

The practice of this activity is an excellent option an opportunity for every student in the world, because is a way to learn to love and respect the place where we are living. My oponent might say that this is just an excuse to do anything else than keep having more class hours, but I'm sure that with this, we can learn what to do to save our environment, helping us to create an ecology conscious. In my experience, once I had to write a philosophy essay about nature, values and humanism, and I had to investigate a lot about the topic, so I realize how important is to know to appreciate every single thing about this.

Kids in schools should be graduate with a better thoght about what the envoironment mean and why is so important to the human being and having this opportunity to do something else that sports or art activities.

This is a great option to start to think about what is around us, so we should appreciate this chance.

We are living an era were that world is falling apart because of the environmental issues like global warming or the Greenhouse effect. Our priority should be the environment because we are the ones that are going to suffer the consequences if we don't realize whats going to happen after we don't have the necessities of life.
Resources are going to end someday, so we have to take care of this problem.
Ecuadorian High School Education System should implement a curriculum that focuses on environmental conservation because it helps the environment and its going to benefit us in long-term. It also make us reconsider, create consciousness about whats happening in the world and the most important make us responsible.

Hello, my name is veronica Andrade and I’m on the affirmative side because
Very good because we began to know how to take care of the world and what they need .
Also is a great idea to have that a education to help the environment to survive because not al people know how to take care of it .
my opponent will say that is a waste of time and should focus much more on our future .. what we like or not to study and beyond it all the time will have a view against it because they believe that it is of no consequence and that nature has infinite resources, which will always be in constant development.
But that’s not really true because we should do something now because people are killing all resources and that’d why I’m agree with that resolution because is important now on days to take care of our environment and not just for us , is for all the future generations.

I think this implement would be the best for ecuadorian education, every human being should be worried and caring about the environment. Is very important that kids have notions about how human activity can afect the environment, sometimes children dont know how bad is to treat bad to plants and animals. Parents sometimes do not do a good job educatig their sons, thats why it will be the best for ecuadorian population to implement this curriculum of environmental conservation. This will help our beatiful nature that we have, we should apreciate more and be grateful about all the diferent plants we have. Ecuador as a small latinamerican country have one of the best agriculture exportation, european and North American countries know how good are our products and they are the best consumers. So i think this new system will help to noticed how important is environment life, and we will learn more how to take care of it. I do not see any disadvantage in this education system, but i can say it will make children focused more in environmental systems than in other imoportant subjects like math and fisics. Still like my own opinion, i think is the best decition the goverment can make to education sucsess.

I think Ecuador we should implement curriculums about the environment.

We have many problems because many people don't colaborate with the recycling. We should help and separate plastic, paper, and others to preserve the nature. If we don't conserve it next generations would be pissed off of what we did. Ecuador doesn't have a recycling plan, but we can create it now so we can save the earth.
In USA there's a recycle plan, trashes are separatly, and they do have a recycle plan.
We should do that to preserve tha nature.
Also people who throw out trees should plant trees for over 4 years before they start cutting them.

In conclusion, we should act now, we need our earth to live and next generations would need it.

I think that implementing a curriculum focused on environmental conservation is very important to include it in Public and private schools, because is something that now days we have to take care and to make people and kids know about the problems that today is presenting in the environment.

In nowadays the environment is having constantly problems like the destruction of the ozone layer, cutting the trees, less oxygen, global warming, air pollution and all of this is caused by ourselves because we throw garbage to g¿the street, we use in excess the car, thye people still cutting the trees and they are useful because they give us oxygen and we dont take care to recycle materials also.

We should take care of all our planet, like planting new trees, meake recycling like in united kingdom, cleaning the rivers of trash, and all of this actions will make changes.

We have to start from now implement this in all kind of schools and make kids learn of what happens to the environmnent, and all this action satrt doing from now, not wait more save the planet is save our lives.

Hi, my name is Patricia Pesantes and i personal believe that the environmental issues are of extremely importance.
First of all extracurricular classes are an excellent opportunity to increase our knowledge about a define issue.
The resources we have are limited. Soon we would not have water or trees. And without them we cannot survive.

Schools are the ones responsable for our knowledge, thats why i agree in implementing a curriculum that focus on environment conservation. Students are the future of the country and if grownups do not let us know about daily problems we aren´t able to change things for good, and we will continued doing bad or making erreneous decisions.
In other words the advantages are that we are going to take care of nature as much as we take care to ourselfs and a disdvantages is that if we lack of knowledge we can distroy our entire planet.

There are also plenty of advantages instead of knowledge, like a personal conscience of the resources that the planet offers us, and that we should take care.
Some of the disadvantage could be the extra time that this take us. Because this would be an extracurricular class. But I personal believe that is very worth it.
People are not worried about the consequences of their actions. They are constantly destroying the planet and they even know they are doing it. So if we are prepared we can stop mistreated earth and its resources.
