some people believe that the earth is being harmed by human activities. Others feel that human activity makes the Earth a better place to live. your opinion? |
The Industrial Revolutions has brought many changes in how humans live. THe dramatic increase in productivity has allowed people to prosper in a materialistic world. It looks like what we do can change the world to our preference and we have set concept that what we do can bring infinte progress. This kind of belief, however, has brought serious consequences, and I believe that the earth is being harmed by human activites.
Human activities and development have caused the earth to suffer destruction and pollution. Emissions from fire-run factories and automobiles have polluted the air and created smog. The amount of carbon dioxide emissions have upsurged for the past several decades, and has created a huge hole in the Ozone layer. Industrial emissions have also brought about global warming which causes the global temperature to rise. Excessive consumptions of resources are another problem. For example, the Amazon rainforests used to be the biggest in the world, and was responsible for providing most of the oxygen humans breathe. In recent years, due to development, however, the rainforest have diminished to less than 60 percent. Unlimited development and exorbitant consumption of natural resources has deprived and damaged the earth to a degree that is irreversable.
The brutal acts that humans have commited ,ironically, has effected humans ourselves in a negative way. While man astonished at what they could accomplish and praised the unlimited prosperity they could create, they are actually being damaged by those actions. Excessive burning of fossil fuels and emission of carbon monixide have contaminated the atmosphere and have deprived the atmosphere of clean oxygen. Many people are deveolping respiratory problems, and in some countries hundreds of people die from the smog in the air. The rise in global temperature also has devastated thousands of farmers by changing the characteristics of the environment farmers used to cultivate in. Destorying rain forest are not doing any good also. Because of the exorbitant consumption and development of rain forests, humans can not be provided with pure clean air.
It is true that development has let humans to prosper and flourish in a materialistic world. However, on the other hand, it has caused more serious problems than advantages, destructing both the earth and humans.
