Damage of the environment is a consequence of worldwide improvements in the standard of living The damage to the environment is a consequence of the worlwide improvements in the standard of living.

During the last centuries, the improvement of the standard of living has been closely associated with the rise of consumer goods, which means that the majority of people think that they will find their happiness by buying material things.

This is one of the ideas that the media and companies try to sell us. Every time we are acquiring material things, even if we do not need them, but we think that they can be useful, but in the end, a lot of times this things are just disposable goods, we use them only once or twice and then, we store them or throw them to the rubbish can, this is the first cause of damage of the environment.  This is one of the ideas that companies and the media try to sell.  Everytime we acquire material things, even if we do not need them but think they can be useful, they end up just being disposable goods.  We only use them once or twice and then we store them or trow them away.  This is the first cause of damage to the environment.

The grow of consuming needs, leads to a race between the companies that produce those goods to increase their sales and profits. They are creating every time more and more products with slighty new features that captures new customers or tend to make older users to upgrade their products to a new version, even if it is not really necessary.  The growth of consumer needs leads to a race between the companies that produce those goods to increase their sales and profits.  They are creating more and more products with slightly new features that capture the attention of new customers.  This also tends to make existing customers upgrade to the new version, even if it is not really necessary.

That is the reason why these companies have the urgent need to get a vast amount of supplies and materials that are obtained through ativities such as mining, deforestation, chemical and physical processes that generate a lot negative consequences to the environment like throwing waste, air and water pollution, reduction of the rainforest and gas emissions.  That is the reason why these companies have the urgent need to get a vast amount of supplies and materials.  These materials are obtained through activities such as mining, deforestation, chemical and physical processes that generate a negative effect on the environment.  For example:  waste, air and water pollution, reduction of the rainforest and gas emissions.

Personally, I recommend not to be so bounded to material things, there is not any evidence probing that as long as you get more goods you are to be happier or you will get a better standard of living, because in the end, we all are going to notice that one of the most important factors to get a better standard of living is precisely when the environmental conditions are favorable to everybody's health, which can not be bought anywhere.  Personally I recommend not to be so bounded by material things.  There is no evidence that proves that as long as you have more goods you are going to be happier or you will have a better standard of living.  In the end, we will all notice that the most important factor to having a better standard of living is precisely when the environmental conditions are favorable to everybody's health.  This is not something that can be bought.

This was excelent! Great job!
