Natural disasters
are happening more often and are having a greater impact on the world in
terms of both their human and economic costs. While
the number of lives lost from natural disasters has declined in the past
20 years, the number of people affected has risen. According to the
UN's Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery, 75 percent of the world's
population live in areas that have been affected at least once by either
an earthquake, a tropical cyclone, flooding or drought, between 1980 and
2000. What can Generation Y do to
preserve our natural resources and reduce the
effects of global warming?
