The Destruction of our Home
In the world there are many pressing issues. The most pressing of them all is the human destruction of nature. Humans are destroying forests and other wild life to make room for human expansion. These actions are destroying biomes and the homes of many different species such as flora and fauna. The biodiversity of the ecosystems on our planet is diminishing. Humans are exploiting wild life for their own personal gain, not realizing the impact it is having. Hundreds and thousands of species have been impacted and gone extinct because of these actions.
Destroying nature isn't just hurting animals and plants, it hurts humans too. Tearing down forests for buildings and highways, and driving when you could walk or bike. These are just a few things that contribute to the destruction of nature. As we all know, fewer trees equals less oxygen which is vital for life. Driving everywhere when it is not needed, when all one has to do is bike, carpool or take the bus is one major way we all contribute to the destruction of nature, of our planet. And yet humans are still destroying nature like the plague they are.
When was the last time you saw more than ten stars? When was the last time you enjoyed the sounds of nature?
These are the questions you need to think about. Acknowledge the destruction humans are causing nature.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. It is almost criminal that no one is even talking about the fires in the Amazon. It is almost like no one cares. I see the most pointless stuff get news coverage, while the worlds largest forest burning can't even get a headline.....CRAZY.
ReplyDeleteEli,
ReplyDeleteI feel as if there needs to be a balance between preservation and human growth. Humans are going to continue to find new ways to be effective, and the environment is only going to react to what people do. It would be so much easier if a tree could speak and say "Hey, stop hurting me! You wouldn't like it if I hurt you!". I remember talking to someone and relating deforestation and global warming to the space race. Just like how it took the whole world to get a man into space, it will take a global effort to stop harming to the environment.
