Present continuous

Use the Present Continuous with Normal Verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now.

Examples:

You are learning English now.
You are not swimming now.

Are you sleeping?

Sometimes, we use the Present Continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a longer action which is in progress; however, we might not be doing it at this exact second.

Examples:

I am studying to become a doctor.
I am not studying to become a dentist.
I am reading the book Tom Sawyer.

Present simple

Present simple:

Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.

Example:

The Simple Present can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before, is true now, and will be true in the future. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things.

Cats like milk

Birds do not like milk

OUR PLANET -->

In this planet there are many environmental problems, like the greenhouse effect, the global warming, climate change, the destruction of forests and of the Ozone Layer, etc...

And all the problems are serious, because one on one, the planet is going to be destoy.

And this is my opinion:

I think,

we have to think more times in the earth and leave to think in us,

because we buy and us more thinks that we need, and all is plubicities' fault,

because they generate a necessity, we don't need, and is useless.

I'm going to talk about the global warming:

Although greenhouse gases are created by many different human activities,

there are two principal causes of the increase in the amount of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere, burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

It is important to remember the underlying cause of all increases in human activity is the rapidly increasing world population.

and there are some alternatives energies, like hydroelectricity or tidal power:

Hydroelectricity:

the water stored in reserviors created by dams has potential energy.

when it is released though the dam, it produces kinetic energy that can be used to turn turbines.

steep river valleys provide the best natural conditions for hydroelectric dams and reservois are significant sources of fresh water.

Tidal power:

tidal energy is harnessed by constructing a dam or "garrage" across a tidal basin, behind whitch tidal water can be trapped, and then released to create kinetic energy to turn tubines.
