As our technology is developing, and we constantly look for ways to improve our planet, we often forget that the rapidly changing environment caused by human activity is destroying nature. These negative changes later, if not already, will have a negative impact on us.
Firstly, the biggest issue I believe, is pollution, especially water pollution. For example in the past few years more and more sad news came out about loads of dead fishes being washed out on beaches around the world.
We might not realize, but our underwater ecosystem is just as important as our mainland ecosystem. One solution for keeping our waters unpolluted is to impose strict laws. By introducing more restrictions on factories polluting our waters, we could avoid corals, fishes and other water creatures being extinct.
Secondly, another issue is deforestation. The reason for deforestation is usually to build more houses or factories. By excessively cutting down trees, we are not only putting animals’ habitat into danger, but we also destroy our most significant way to remove emissions. One solution for deforestation would be to encourage people to plant trees. Another solution would be to renovate old buildings and build on abandoned lands in order to provide more housing opportunities withing the cities. A general solution would be to educate people on how our current lifestyle has an impact on our environment, and what will be the long-term consequences.
To sum up, water pollution and deforestation has a great impact on our earth. Although, with imposing laws and educating the society, we could avoid future disasters and live a sustainable life.
