Is protecting environment the most important problem facing the world today?
As far as I am concerned, there are many important issues facing the world today. First of all, those problems concerning the environment should be taken into account seriously. Ozone layer is being destroyed, and the greenhouse effect is producing a global warming. Floods and droughts are more frequent every year, and earthquakes are causing huge damages in several countries. Therefore, we should wonder whether our current lifestyle is destroying our planet. Many people might think that conservationists exaggerate when they report this problem, but the truth is that what is happening is not usual, something is changing, and maybe we are doing something wrong. Even though people who are now living in our planet won't live to see what will happen within some hundred years, we ought to think over how our planet was when we were born, how it is now and how we would like it to be in a future, when our children or our grandchildren are grown up. Consequently, it is time for us to do something to reverse this situation, so that people can enjoy our planet within many years as well.
But even though the protection of the environment is an important problem to confront, it is a well known fact that there is a more important issue nowadays, which is starvation. Every time I watch in television how much money some countries spend in outer space research, for instance, I ask myself how can we worry about what is happening outside our planet when we are incapable of protecting those who are living around us. From my point of view, we should assign priorities, and I can't think of something more important than prevent people from starvation. How can we think of life in another planet, when so many people in ours are dying everyday because they have nothing to eat?
All things considered, I strongly believe that we have a lot of resources in our planet, and it is in our hands to decide where and how to use them, so that all the people who live in it can enjoy them properly.

First of all, those problems concerning the environment should be taken into account seriously.* The ozone layer is being destroyed, and the greenhouse effect is producing a global warming. Floods and droughts are more frequent every year, and earthquakes are causing huge great damages in several countries.

Many people might think that conservationists exaggerate when they report on this problem, but the truth is that what is happening is not usual, something is changing, and maybe we are doing something wrong. Even though people who are now living in our planet won't live to see what will happen within some a few hundred years, we ought to think over how our planet was when we were born, how it is now and how we would like it to be in a future, when our children or our grandchildren are grown up. Consequently, it is time for us to do something to reverse this situation, so that people can enjoy our planet for many years to come within many years as well.But even though the protection of the environment is an important problem to confront, it is a well known fact that there is a more important issue nowadays, which is starvation.

I like your essay, which addresses a difficult question. If climate change isn't halted, then starvation will surely become more common. It's a paradox! Your writing is also excellent. Just a few comments:
into account seriously*: this is redundant: you can either say "take into account" or "take seriously" but not both.
see on television **: It's true that we watch television, but in this case you're using TV to "see" things that are happening elsewhere. Sorry I can't explain that more clearly...
life on ***: We live in a country but on a planet. (I live in the United States, on planet earth).
