1. Do you agree that man is destroying the earth’s environment?

Depletion of ozone layer, littering, deforestation, etc, are all man’s doings. The earth had become a place not save to live in due to the consequences that come after man-made disasters. Man tried to make the earth a better place for them to live in. Instead, the earth is suffering ebn without man giving a second thought that what is beneficial to them might not be good to the earth.

I agree that man is destroying the earth’s environment. The more CFCs related products, like aerosols, used by man, the more the depletion of the ozone layer. By doing so, globalization, the trapping of heat in the earth, will lead to death of living things that could not adapt to the rising temperature. This in turn led to more destruction of the biodiversity of the earth.

Millions of plastic products used in everyday life of man are being disposed off and burnt. The harmful gases produced lead to the pollution of the air on earth, overtaking the fresh air in the atmosphere. These harmful pollutants simply destroy, dirty and kill the earth’s environment. Moreover, thousands of trees are cut down by loggers to obtain timber or wood to make furniture; things that man need. This large scale of cutting trees – deforestation - lead to many drastic changes no man could ever think off; even more disasters.
Soil erosion due to the absence of support from the trees will occur, followed by floods due to many debris washed into the river channel. These made the earth unsightly. Moreover, it destroys the earth’s environment, creating a mass destruction of the beautiful earth.

Hence, man is destroying the earth’s environment. Although what man is doing now is good to them, it is definitely harming the earth. Large scales of man-made destructions are still carried out, leading to even more harm to the environment. If there is no man, nature will lead the way. Globalization, littering, deforestation, etc, will not even be in the dictionary of mankind.
