EFFECT OF HUMAN PROGRESS ON THE ENVIRONMENT

It is true that the activities of human behavior to the environment, and the changes in the natural resources of the environment to people, are inter-related. By this I mean, the changes in the conditions that prevail in the environment at anywhere, , and any place, determines the life style of the people. Also, the daily human activities, determine the changes in the environment.

However, although I think the environment is to benefit human beings, and so people have to respect what goes on in it, the opposite rather occurs. It is sad to see that the progress and activities of people have increased so much, that it is affecting the environment more. The effects of the environmental change is so great on us such that, we would have to change our ways. How interesting to realise that although the environment is very quite, it is so powerful.

Population increase is a long-term change that will lead to heat pollution, and decrease in the ecosystem from developments. The population issue can be under control if good economic solutions, and effective technologies are found. The issues which bother me are the problems that occur from human activities, to cause pollution in air, water, and land, also our own discrimination. Although we need to progress in development, my issue is, if manufacturers could at the beginning of development, start by planning how better to dispose of waste products. Again, if modernization of things can be under control.

Since certain human activities are causing environmental changes like the ice-melt causing floods, that displace people, tornadoes, and earth-quakes in recent times, I believe we all have to take measures now. Let us all try and spread the news about how everybody in his little way can help to reduce "Global Warming".

  1. In our last week class when we learn about environment issue, I was really shocked to see how much we are just ignoring the fact that we are damaging our planet. It is really alarming to see what is happening in now in our planet. Global Warming is really a big problem we have to deal with nowadays, because it has the potential to change forever our lives and our planet's environment as we know them, and this would affect the whole mankind. If I can mention one example, there are huge social, political, and economic issues that will rise if we don't do something to stop the skyrocketing rise of the temperatures. Global Warming should be everyone’s concern and we need to act as fast as possible before everything become out of control.
