why should people become more environmentally aware?

Well, did you want the answer for selfish people or unselfish ones? Ok I'll give you both.\n\nUnselfish answer: \n\nBecoming more environmentally aware serves to ensure that future generations will have the same advantages, (if not better ones) that you currently enjoy. \n\nResearch into renewable power sources, recycling, and effective resource management will ensure that future generations will be able to travel, to see the world, to use electricity, and to have access to technology.\n\nConservation of rainforests, pollution reduction, and protection of endangered species will make certain that those who come after us will be able to breathe the air, drink the water, see the wonders of nature, and share in the glory that surrounds us now.\n\nSelfish answer:\n\nMedical science is becoming more and more advanced, and lifespans are becoming longer and longer. It is no longer unusual for someone to reach 80, 90, or even 100 years of life. \n\nThink about the world 100 years ago. 1906 - air polluted by burning coal, unhealthy conditions, and no regulation on pollution. It's not that bad today, because of environmental awareness, but if less people become environmentally aware, how will it be in 60, 70, or 80 years?\n\nFor the sake of your own comfort, environmental awareness will keep the air and water usable in your own lifetime. It will make sure that the technology you love using still runs. So if you won't do it for future generations, do it for yourself.

plant more trees -> more ozone layer -> less UV rays -> cooler planet -> less melting of the polar sides of the earth

Our evolution has allowed us to recognize our existence. Our need to survive has forced our evolution. We would be less aware of ourselves without the communal awareness.\n(The guy under the tree is unaware of the rain because of the tree, not because he is alone)

Be careful.\n\nThat environment can be dangerous.

I don't think people are lying awake worrying about it.  That's not something most people think about.  However, I would think that the initial response, if it were a reality, would be fear.  What motivates it?  Since we rely heavily on technology, what threat does it pose?  Even as I type this, I try ro refrain from saying "they" instead of "it" (they is typically used to describe an unknown group, as if they're forming alliances.)  When we think of awareness, we think of life.  Life consumes life for survival.  It is only natural that we'd fear it.\n\nHowever, I think we are far from achieving such a feat.  Defining awareness would prove just as difficult.

Not all advances in technology cause pollution. Man needs to put his mind to the types of science that work in harmony with nature.

There is enough evidence as it is. It is happening, and the reasons may be natural (interglacials, etc) or man-made (which would be, ultimately, "natural" too), but that doesn't matter because the effects are altering the world right now. \nI think the people who always advocate for "more evidence" and "further consideration" instead of real action about pollution issues are those interested in their immediate benefits. I guess they want to buy more time to continue earning their profits, or maybe they think that anything we can do is useless. \nThe Kyoto protocol has been around for a while now, and guess which countries have been refusing to compromise?

to make sure that our planet doesnt get polluted so much with trash, and to conserve more of our resources. duh.

Currently there is a big focus on architecture using recycled materials, ambient light and other environmentally friendly stuff to erect "green buildings".  Lower energy consumption is also a big thing.

"Think globally, act locally" is a catchphrase from conservationist organizations, that means (to my best understanding) that by being environmentally friendly in our own local settings, we will help address the global conservation problems. \nWhen people come to know about global warming, deforestation, or worldwide pollution, they may feel overwhelmed. They think "Well, this is too big, there's nothing I can do from here to stop this", and this thought could lead to passive inactivity. \nBut there are many things that one can do every day, and although they may seem too small, they have the potential to become great when many people choose to behave the same way. \nIf you're interested in home-level conservation, there are plenty of good informative websites.

Nature and nuture are both important factors to who and what you become.  Your surroundings(nature) are important aspect because it is the thing you see everyday, its the place that you will consider the norm. Nuture is also important because its where you develop some of your characteristics, for some its where you begin to show your personaility, traits, strengths, and weakness.  Some people also argue that its the enviroment that truely affects and shapes you, because some people lacked the nuturing factor in life or vice versa.  For everyone its different but in most cases people will agree there is to some degree a mix of both nature and nuture.

The only aswer to this is- grow more and more trees. Trees produce oxygen, it helps to increase rainfall, it helps to maintain temperture. so grow more and more trees and save earth.

Safety is all about awareness. When people are aware of their surroundings they are much more safe because they can avoid problems more easily.

Many many reasons - to become closer to Nature, to relax away from the din of the crowd, to clear one's mind and make important decisions, to enjoy to eye-pleasing views, to play, to walk with a loved-one, to envelop oneself with the essence of Nautre herself!\nNeed any more...

Well, it seems that part of the morality of people could be attributed to what is beneficial to the species, what will keep us going.  Kind of  a pack mentality. But what is beneficial for the species isn't always conducive to harmonious sharing of the planet.  That's where what we teach our children comes in, how to live and function as a part of society.  Morals could be seen as the grease that helps us slide through life without any major snags, like prison, being ostracized, or a painful, lonely existence.
