Harm to nature 's domain is an inexorable outcome of overall upgrades in the expectation of everyday life. The change of individuals ' existing standard owes an excessive amount to the fast advancement of science and engineering. Then again, individuals these days are defiled with such a variety of issues, for example, the weakening nature 's turf, air contamination and the dangerous extension of population. People are living such an advantageous life, but other side, they are destroying the fragrance of the nature. Many of the nature problems arises due to the habit of the living. The people of the world are facing critical problems like starvation, diseases, global warming, deforestation, melting glaciers, climate change, natural calamities. …show more content…
Disturbing the environment is like to disturb the living creatures of the world which might cause the extinction of them. The environment encompasses oxygen, which is most insistent thing for all the living creatures. Apart from this, it contains food, water, a place to live and nature to relax that initiate satisfactory surroundings for them. We have a lot of natural fortune to use, but careful use of them is an essential thing. Forests are home for wild animals because they consume their needs so, if we deforest them, then it might create a big problem for animals. They lose their property and its result is extinction or food starvation. Deforestation encounters lots of problems like drought, global warming, the cavity in the ozone layer, land degradation which leads the world to serious calamities. The drought creates the problem of food starvation and poverty. Global warming leads the temperature at a high level, which results in the death of living creatures. The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and all over the place in the middle. All around the world, the mercury is as of now up more than one degree Fahrenheit, and much all the more indelicate polar districts. Furthermore the impacts of climbing temperatures aren 't holding up for any far-flung future. They 're occurring at this moment. Signs are seeming everywhere, and some of them are astonishing. The hotness are not just softening glacial masses and ocean ice, it’s additionally moving precipitation examples and setting creatures progressing (2014, National Geographic Society). Carbon dioxide is one of the responsible gas for global warming because it decreases the oxygen level. Second, most harmful gas is a CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) which is more harmful than carbon dioxide because it reduce the thickness of the ozone layer that cause the global
It is difficult for humans to live in harmony with nature because humans’ selfishness always places profits before our earth’s needs. We live in a consumer society, which we purchase interesting products and dispose of them carelessly. Those products with non-decomposable materials, which make our life easier and more comfortable, result a massive damage to our environment. In the articles, “A Fable for Tomorrow” by Rachel Carson and “Our Animals Rite” by Anna Quindlen, both authors suggest destruction in nature world due to human’s activities. As environment issues presented by scientists, governments around the world start to give highly attention on the environmental protection, but there are many challenges in implementing environmental protection policies. Some of the top environmental concerns are air pollution, climate changing and trash waste. Although people started to aware the horrible consequences due to polluted environment, an efficient life, people apathy toward ecosystem and human's unlimited desires for a confortable life have created obstacles for the world to protect the environment.
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
In just the last fifty years, humans, namely Americans have virtually remodeled the Earth and everything on it. We have changed its landscapes, wind patterns, migration routes, and weather; diminished its greenery and killed its animals. Nature did not seem a force that could be controlled and yet it has been. We are conducting an inadvertent global experiment by changing the face of the entire planet. We are destroying the ozone layer, which allows life to exist on the Earth's surface, clearing the majority of the earth’s forests, and disrupting countless ecosystems. The result has been an unfavorable alteration of the composition of the biosphere and the Earth's heat balance. If we do not slow down our use of fossil fuels and stop destroying the forests, the world will become hotter than it has been in the past million years. This warming will rearrange entire biological communities and cause many species to become extinct.
The worst of which is the loss of habitat for millions of species. British Columbia is the home of 1,900 species that are at risk due to the loss of their habitat. “A staggering 87 per cent these don't receive any protection under provincial or federal laws” (Eco-Justice). One thing is certain if we let deforestation continue countless species will be lost forever. Not only does deforestation cause animal to become threatened from the loss of their habitat, but it also causes plants and soil to die. In forests the trees are canopies to protect plants and soil, without the canopy’s plants will start to die and soil will start drying out too quickly. Trees are also a necessary anchor for soil, the roots of the trees keep the soil in place. Without the roots to keep soil in place it can be washed away and this can create vegetation problems. With the soil eroding that can cause silt to enter the lakes, rivers and streams and pollute the water which can lead to poor health for the population. The trees in the forest also absorb rainfall and produce water vapor that is released into the atmosphere. This makes them an important part of the water cycle that without the trees would be disturbed. Deforestation is also a major cause of climate change. “Conversion of forests to non-forest land use rapidly releases stored carbon as carbon dioxide impacting the atmosphere and climate for centuries” (Parfitt,11). Trees absorb many greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. With fewer trees absorbing greenhouse gases more will enter the atmosphere and speed up global warming. The trees absorb a large amount of carbon as well. When all of that carbon that the trees have stored is released into the environment it can change the climate. In B.C climate change has caused the sea level to rise and it cause glaciers to melt. Scientist have figured out that by 2100 B.C will lose 70% of its
Nowadays, earth has been facing a series of severe environmental issues which require urgent attention to make the ecology friendly, and global warming is considered as the most vital one. Although some people doubt and disagree that global warming is happening, climate change is real and it is mainly influenced by human activities through the increased production of green house gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. Global warming has the effect of melting polar ice caps and glaciers, which will lead to sea level to go up. Moreover, due to the rise of sea level, the survival of those people who live in islands and coastal cities can ultimately be threatened. Deforestation has been considered to be one of the most important contributing factors to global climate change. Also, since trees absorb greenhouse gases, reduce carbon emissions, and produce oxygen, without trees, the greenhouse effect can be improved tremendously. As World Resources Institute has pointed out in the data, forest loss contributes between 12 percent and 17 percent of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, what is “deforestation”? Why do people have to deforest? How does it affect environment?
If we don’t cherish what the Mother Nature gave us, the whole world would be like the setting of the movie “Soylent Green” which we will all be suffering in the future that consists of overpopulation, exhausted natural resources, pollution and global warming due to the greenhouse effect. But there is an exception if we could use the nature resources properly with an appreciative attitude and appropriate means to make the practices as harmless as possible for the earth, then we might be able to create a harmonious environment which can protect the nature and also satisfied our
burning of lands which has increased tremendously over the last past years. ("No Trees, No Humans," 2011). Climate change will be and is slowing starting to get affected,it is altering the climate from hot and cold places. This is why we need trees to remove CO2 (carbon dioxide) from the air. Without them CO2 will significantly raise the temperature of our earth, leading to global warming. ("What Causes Global Warming," n.d.) Our future depends on us! Deforestation has to stop!
Environmental issues affect every life on this planet from the smallest parasite to the human race. There are many resources that humans and animal needs to survive; some of the most obvious resources come from the forests. Forests make up a large percentage of the globe. The forests have global implications not just on life but on the quality of it. Trees improve the quality of the air that species breath, determine rainfall and replenish the atmosphere. The wood from the forests are used everyday form many useful resources. Moreover, thinning the forests increases the amount of available light, nutrients and water for the remaining trees. Deforestation (forest thinning) is one of the most critical issues of environmental problems that are occurring today.
Nature serves as a phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations. Nature is here for us to learn and grow. This phenomenon has allowed for the reproduction of both human and animal offspring to flourish, serves as a catalyst for the prevalent thoughts that encourage the innovative uses of technology and its functions have induced mankind into a perpetual state of invigoration. With nature being so deeply infused into the process that humans must undergo to obtain success, one must wonder: why is nature commonly not given the respect that it deserves? We as humans must understand that this can be attributed to egocentric tendencies of humans. This being a correlation between man and nature; without nature, man would not have
I propose that in modern environmental ethics there lies two distinct forms of the the phrase “dehumanization of nature” that have lead to the environmental problems that we have face today. First, we have the “dehumanization of nature” in which humans are perceived as separate from nature. And the second definition in which nature is stolen of its human-like or natural qualities. Both cause an emotional disconnect between human nature and nonhuman nature.
As we enter the twenty-first century, it is clear that many things about our method of interacting with our environment are different than in previous centuries, and that, in fact, the very philosophy of the man-nature interaction may change again. Some look forward to these changes. Others are fearful or condemnatory. In many cases, people implicitly or explicitly argue that certain technologies are unnatural. They claim that while certain technologies may be useful, other technologies represent a form of Nature manipulation and this that tinkering is unwise. Since this argument may appear in many places, it is important to critically analyze it. I feel that this argument is the arbitrary reaction of one philosophy against another, and does not by itself prove anything. Examining perceptions of the natural from history and certain exemplary situations, along with modern thinking on the subject, may illuminate the deeper issues that lie behind this argument.
Throughout history, many individuals wish to discover and explain the relationship between nature and society, however, there are many complexities relating to this relationship. The struggle to understand how nature and society are viewed and connected derives from the idea that there are many definitions of what nature is. The Oxford dictionary of Human Geography (2003), explains how nature is difficult to define because it can be used in various contexts as well as throughout different time and spaces. As a result of this, the different understandings of what nature is contributes to how the nature society relationship is shaped by different processes. In order to better understand this relation there are many theorists and philosophers
We are losing the rainforest. I think if we lose the rainforest, a lot of the earths oxygen will disappear, so will the animals too. If we lose the rainforest, the animals will die. If the animals die, it will cause havoc in the environment. 'Forests are the worlds air conditioning system and we are on the verge of switching it off'. Another way animals could die is if there are not enough trees! If there are no more trees then a lot of the oxygen will go down. Now I don't know about you, but I want to breathe.
There are many bad things that go on in the world that have an effect on the environments climate and the way it has changed over the years. Deforestation is one these. Deforestation is the act or result of cutting down or burning all the trees in an area (Webster1). The world’s forests could could completely disappear in hundreds of years at the current rate of deforestation. Twelve to fifteen million hectares of forest are lost each year. One hectare is the equivalent to ten thousand square meters.
Some effects of deforestation are that, according to Source 4, the cutting down of trees is adding to global warming as trees take in carbon dioxide produced by humans and give out oxygen for us to breathe. Burning trees also produces greenhouse gases which are released into the atmosphere. With less trees, there will be more carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere which will lead to more heat being trapped, heating up the planet further - resulting in the ice caps melting and animals like the Polar Bear going extinct.
