One of the greatest problems that the world is facing today are of environmental pollution, pollution is increasing rapidly every year and causing serious and lasting damage to the earth. In the short story “A Fable for Tomorrow” by Rachel Carson, describes a small beautiful town in America that later become a terrible town, because it was overwhelmed by pollution. In addition, most of the technology that is uses in today society causes pollution for examples, cars, and pesticides. However, it is very difficult for people to give up on technology, since they are very used of using every day that makes it challenging to protect the environment. It is a similar story “Our Animal Rites” by Anna Quindlen, shows how nature is harmed because of how human are taking over the wildlife area. In India, many people had to face problems with water because water was very limited to people. In addition, the underground water they get was very unsafe, which caused so many illnesses in the villages because of adding extra chemical elements in it. People won’t stop adding chemical elements in the water because they are having the profit in it, which is making so hard for them to give up, which later becomes a challenge for others to protect the environment. Furthermore, it is very difficult to protect the environment with little amount of people because not everyone is aware of the issues of a damaged environment. There are many challenges of protecting the environment, which mainly contain transportation that produces carbon dioxide and agricultural technology, which is causing pollution, to decrease the chemical elements in the underground water, and lacking of awareness of protecting the environment.

...eople; especially, who do not how they are causing the environment by killing animals that are very important part of our earth.
In conclusion, everyone agrees that we need to stop pollution, stop chemical waste, and lack of awareness of protecting the environment, but when we tell someone to stop driving or to stop buying or using products that made in factories that have a chemical, many people see this as a challenge to do it. Moreover, living a life with harmony is not easy for most people because to live a harmony life we all have to face many challenges that is very difficult to overcome to protect the environment in which we are living right now. It is important to protect the environment because it is what we have lived our whole life in and it also can have bad impact on us if we try to change the environment by using unnecessary things for our benefits.
Look at the civilized, beautiful capital cities in every developed country all around the world which is the central of high fashioned and convenience facility. To live in the city, it seems like the nature surrounding is not important to us anymore. In “The Sacred Balance: Rediscovering Our Place in Nature” David Suzuki presents the connection between human and the nature and how we depend on the surrounding environment. However, within the past century, most of our modern technologies have been developed in order to provide people needs of goods and products (63). Many of the products we made are causing much more harm to the environment than the value that products provide. Technological development has damaged our environment to the point
When most people think about what is wrong with the environment, they can think of many things wrong with it. The amount of pollution that has either enter the air, land, or the ground. The amount of pollution within the air has been constantly been caused by humans doing a lot of activities that release a lot of carbon emissions. Activities such as deforestation of trees, the uses of automotive cars, and factories producing so much smog on a daily basis. With all of these activities, much of the air quality is poor and can cause many health problems for humans. As stated EPA, “Breathing polluted air can make your eyes and nose burn. It can irritate your throat and make breathing difficult” (EPA 4).
In conclusion, while protecting the environment, one can face numerous serious challenges, and most important among them are pesticides, hunting of animals, and destruction of natural habitats. By describing how animals and human can die through the use of pesticides, Rachel Carson has successfully described and alerted people about the deadly effects of pesticides. Moreover, Anna Quindlen shows how many species can go extinct when people treat animal hunting as an entertainment. Furthermore, she describes how the lives of many innocent animals are threatened when people try to take over natural habitats. It is importantly significant to protect the environment even though there are numerous challenges because human will not be able to survive without a healthy and green environment.
In today’s world, the main environmental problem is probably the “pollution”. Air, water and land pollutions are all threats for people, and actually for all living species. World has been suffering from global warming, ozone depletion, climate change, pollution of drinking water and etc. These all are caused by pollutants which are spread into air or water or soil by anthropogenic activities. People use the natural sources of environment to produce energy, and actually they use those sources selfishly, without thinking about future generations. One of the main causes for these pollutions is population. When population starts to increase, our environment is being suffered from increasing amount of pollution. People start to build new factories, houses and etc. for living in better conditions by using the sources of nature. Of course there are consequences of these new buildings. Deforestation, increasing amount of cars, increasing amount of using fertilizers to produce more food in short term, huge amount of wastes from factories and industries are just a few examples of the results of increasing population. Waste control is one of the most important consequences, it is not the only thing but really important for sure. When production is increasing in a factory for example, there are also increasing amount of waste, and when this waste is not controlled it all goes into environment by polluting water, air or soil; or all three of them. As a result of this all people in the whole world are affected by this situation. Waste control should be done to prevent this situation to occur by using waste to produce energy maybe, or by using filters. Unfortunately, even now the waste control ...
Humans Damaging the Environment We, humanity, have a remarkable ability to define the world in terms
Efforts to improve the standard of living for humans--through the control of nature and the development of new products--have also resulted in the pollution, or contamination, of the environment. Much of the world's air, water, and land is now partially poisoned by chemical wastes. Some places have become uninhabitable. This pollution exposes people all around the globe to new risks from disease. Many species of plants and animals have become endangered or are now extinct. As a result of these developments, governments have passed laws to limit or reverse the threat of environmental pollution.
The environment is one of the only issues in the world that everyone agrees to protect and fix. The environment does need to be protected, but society focusses on the wrong parts. They focus on the rising CO² levels and the melting of the polar ice caps. The ice caps are not disappearing, so instead of focusing on the ice caps, society should focus on protecting the environment from oil spills, toxic waste spills, and other environmental hazards. The CO² levels are healthy for humans and plant life alike, so instead of the healthy greenhouse gas being blamed for the world problems, maybe we should look at how to fix the rise of the harmful greenhouse gases that are damaging the earth. As a society, we focus on the problems of the least importance. If we spent just a little bit more time on the real problems, maybe the problems would already be
Many people assume that the environment is not in danger. They believe that as technology advances, we do not need to worry about renewing natural resources, recycling, and finding new ways to produce energy. They state that one person in the world does not make a large difference. In reality, each individual's contribution greatly affects our environment. Our natural resources are slowly disappearing, and we must work together to save them and the Earth from ruin.
Long time ago, in the ancient times people lived in harmony with the environment. They lived using what Earth gave them. Air to breathe, food to eat, water to drink, wood to build home, fuel to live warm, to heat his/her home. It seemed for people that the resources of nature had no limit. With the industrial revolution our negative influence on Earth's nature began to increase. Nowadays there are a lot of large cities that have thousands of steaming, polluting plants, and factories. What people do now, is polluting the air we breathe, the water we
Environmental issues are some of the greater important issues in today’s society. Not only are there a plethora of environmental problems generated by humans, but they are all extremely difficult to solve. Many theorists have come up with general approaches as to solve such problems. Such examples would include population and scarcity introduced by Robert Malthus, environmental ethics and social construction. These approaches suggest different problems and solutions to these problems. It is complicated to choose which approach can be the most accurate, but each approach does offer a different strategy in fighting environmental problems.
We all belong to the same world and all of us have the same responsibilities towards the world and its environment. This fact might be hard to digest, but if we continue to pollute the Earth at the current rate, all of the world’s ocean waters will become one-hundred-thirty percent acidic. This means that the ocean will be unable to sustain most of its marine life and only a few creatures will be able to survive in the water. A big population of people think that they do not or have few responsibilities towards the environment. People think that the governor of a country should take steps to help the environment. They leave it to scientists since they have the technology to prevent pollution, or that is what most people think. There are more responsibilities to the world each individual has than most of realize. The amount of negligence and ignorance of humans towards the Earth is taking a heavy toll.
Are you aware of the detrimental impacts that we have had on our environment? Every second, the Earth is being polluted by poisonous gases, waste products and due to human activities, the world’s climate is dramatically changing. In other words, these impacts do not only harm our environment but also our health. It has been scientifically proven that air pollution causes respiratory diseases and cancer, due to the inhalation of all the harmful chemicals. Water pollution can also lead to typhoid, diarrheal diseases and other waterborne disease, due to the intake of bacteria and parasites. Many people have died due to these health-related illnesses. So why are we still living in this awful condition? Air sustains us and water is a basic necessity, so we should do what we can to prevent pollution. In short, we should protect our environment to ensure a healthy life a...
Environmental pollution has always remained a serious problem in society today. Our planet is often being polluted by many toxins that are not only deadly to us, but our wildlife too. Environmental pollution leads to air pollution, environmental crisis, and global warming. Now there are many different ways that can help these topics be preventable. People need to understand what environmental sustainability truly is. Learning environmental sustainability will give people the tools and knowledge to help sustain our planet before it is too late. Planet earth is our home and people need to understand the damage being done to it. Understanding these important key factors will lead our planet to become healthier and a better place for life to live.
Human connection with nature has negative effects that are shown in environmentalism. The most alarming negativity towards nature by humans would be the technology. An example would be the creation of factories such as the ones that have the smoke stacks. The smoke caused from thos...
In a perfect ecosystem everything gives and takes equally, and the cycle of life is sustained perpetually. Our current lifestyle is not environmentally sustainable. We consume more and more of the earth's resources and give very little, if any, in return. The Brundtland Commission defines lifestyle sustainability as being development that "seeks to meet the needs and aspirations of the present without compromising the ability to meet those of the future." Many factors are contributing to how humankind uses the earth's resources and how humankind views the goal of sustainability. Public opinion, government intervention, and manufacturers seem to have the largest influence in determining how the earth's resources are used. In order to create a sustainable society, all of these factors must work in conjunction with one another in the utilization of technology and resources to insure that the same resources will be available to future generations. The Issue Mankind has always sought to control its environment. While most species must deal with the world as it is, man has the ability and the desire to change and adapt the environment to suit its needs. If it's too hot, then a way must be found to be cool. If there isn't enough shelter, it must be built. If there isn't enough food, it is produced. If there are other creatures that are regarded as pests, they are eliminated. Many of the efforts to control these environmental factors are made at the expense of destroying the biosphere upon which mankind depends. Every person on earth puts a strain on the biosphere and the earth's population is increasing exponentially. Scientists predict that by the year 2050 mankind will top 10 Billion peop...
