Does human harmed the Earth or make it a better place to live? When it comes to the issue whether the Earth is being harmed by human, different people hold different point of views due to their past experiences If I were faced with this issue, I would probably say that human activities have harmed the earth In the following discussion, I would like to present few of the important reasons to support my view point The most important reason is that human has polluted the Earth since the industrial revolution For example, we produce millions of cars each year in the past century just to grant the demand for consumers Every family in North America has at least one car and some of big families even have four or five cars The carbon dioxide produced by all these cars every year is one of the main sources of air pollution In some big cities, the color of the sky has turned from blue to gray Oil leakages from the ships during transportation pollute the ocean and kill animals living in it Factories release untreated toxic water into the environment, which kill wildlife Do not you think the examples quoted above are very persuasive? Over exploring resources on the Earth harms the Earth is another head and chief reason that I have chosen to put here As we all know that many resources provided by the earth such as coal, oil, and other mines are finite If we use them wisely, it can support human for an unlimited period of time But according to a recent report, we can only use them for another 50 years with the current rate of exploring We are taking them out of the underground way faster than we should We are damaging the Earth by attacking its natural resources If you can understand this, you can understand my viewpoint more deeply However, some human activities have tried to make the earth a better place For example, we have planted trees in the city to help carbon dioxide absorption; we have created programs to save endangered animals Nevertheless, we take more from the Earth than we give to the Earth, so the most striking conclusion is obvious To sum up, given all the reasons discussed above, we can safely reach the conclusion that human activities have harmed the Earth In fact, not only I think this is true, if you have known more about our current horrible environment, you would agree with me as well
