Imagine a world where there are no trees, where there are dried up rivers, seas and oceans, where the animals are gone and will never come back. Imagine earth without life. Hard to imagine isn’t it? But if you think about it, sooner or later it will happen.
The life on earth is slowly deteriorating. If you have not noticed, the forests are balding, the glaciers are melting, and plants and animals are going extinct. We will no longer have sources of food, shelter, clothing and many other necessities in our lives. There will no longer be life on earth, there will just be technology replacing life, buildings replacing trees and waste replacing waters. If we don’t take care of the life around us, there will be nothing left for us. It is highly probable that our earth, which was once filled with color and life, would become dull and gray in the near future. Of course, we may prevent these

The life on earth, such as plants, animals, forests, the bodies of water and many others should be taken to importance because it is necessary in the lives of the people and especially to the world. Biodiversity includes the animals, the environment, the plants and microorganisms. Biodiversity is important because of the fact that it boosts ecosystem productivity (Shah, 2008, para 5). Meaning, without biodiversity, the life on earth would not function properly for the reason that the different organisms would have no sources of food, shelter, and many other resources these organisms need. Also, different species depend on another set of species in order for them to live. For example, a herd of cows needs grass or other plants as their source of food. A type of species wouldn’t be able to survive if there is a scarcity in biodiversity. Biodiversity also provides raw materials to supply basic necessities to the human beings. A person’s health, wellbeing and livelihood highly depends on
Unlike humans trying to reconnect back to nature, we rather seem to want to create an artificial nature in our cage of industrious lives. Regrettably, this author 's call to save the environment has not been fully applied, as of today humans are still releasing toxins into the environment at the highest rate in history, occupying forests with building in the name of owning something, in places such as Antarctica, the polar bears are starving, even worst humans had it illegal to feed them while they are exploding and destroying their homes, the seas-fishes are iced up, just to name a few reasons why connecting back to nature is critical. Although green activists such as Ecosia have been working on restoring the environment, however, more needs to be done. We must see to it that nature bounces back to its full
What we do not realize, is the fact that we use nature for what we want, but eventually we will use up all of the nature and then there will be none to use. Growing up, children were taught about the world saw it through the backseat. In the article, "Last Child", it describes that we tend to give our children more of an opportunity to watch anything but nature, yet we complain when they want nothing to do with it. We grew up with nature as our movie, and because of our actions there will soon not be a movie like that to watch. It is a fact that with the way that humans are not connecting with nature, it is foreshadowing the fact that there will soon be no nature to connect with, even for our own
If we get charred by the sun, our dermatologists will replace our skin. If the globe gets warmer, we 'll turn up the air-conditioning. (We invented air-conditioning.) We 'll drive faster in our gigantic, air-conditioned cars to the new beaches that our marine geologists create.” Dowd describes that instead of changing our ways to save the environment and maintain the earth, we will just make ourselves comfortable in whatever means necessary.
Are you a believer that most of the things in life are caused by ongoing environmental issues? To counteract or prevent the effects of despair one needs to do something that is to be in action so that we are not in sorrow tomorrow. Don’t allow despair. Instead, do something about it. In “Despair Not” by Sandra Steingraber she mentions what is happening on our planet and what is happening to our bodies also.
Plants and vegetation are mandatory to human survival and will impact the earth dramatically if they were to all
Jane Goodall, a primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist, explains that the greatest risk to our future is lacking enthusiasm and concern about its outcome. Considering Goodall is extremely environmentally keen, it is more than likely she is emphasizing this towards the future of the entire ecosystem, including plants and animals, rather than only the future of the human race. She explains that if the human race falls to a deficiency of caring about our environment, it can and will lead to a vast threat to the future of the world’s ecosystem. Often humans forget about the importance of the ecosystem and instead we become caught up in ourselves and our own individual needs. Goodall is stressing that if these egotistical human acts continue to occur, the future of our ecosystem is in jeopardy.
Changes to Earth sets out multiple negative effects towards all species that inhabit the Earth. First, these alterations causes human feelings to shift such as relationships. Next, these effects on humans can
Andy Warhol once said, “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself”. Change is affected by time and by people in different ways. A negative change can ultimately have a positive outcome. Change is not always bad, but in order for it to be good you need to make it good. Change occurs all the time, and it happens to everyone at one point in his or her life.
Alternatively, there are other dangers out there that other systems do face, such as singularities (black holes), gamma ray bursts (bursts of lethal radiation), and possibly hostile life forms (aliens!). All things considered, mankind is resilient, diligent, and with the instinct of survival, anything can be accomplished. New technologies and mapping will prevent losses to the universe. Humans need a new planet to colonize and spread out upon to better support our growing needs. According to Dr. Klein “I believe the same is true about societies, civilizations and governments.
The extinction rate is one hundred to a thousand times greater than it was before the human species evolved on the planet. Currently, Earth is in its sixth mass extinction, with one sixth of all species going extinct. If all of these species go extinct, humans will also be greatly harmed (Worrall). Humans can not continue without the great interconnected biodiversity we currently have, because all animals on the planet are inter-connected in their habits and way of life. If we begin to destroy minor food chains from small-scale animals going extinct, greater and greater
We need to change our perspective about nature and be more caring towards the Earth. Because if we keep on being cruel and not see a life in natural creatures they will someday be gone and we will be regretting that day. We can
The Earth is a beautiful place, there is no doubt about that. Now the future is questionable due to all the manufacturing and oil drilling we’ve done. However, not only those actions are to blame, we have all played our part. Humans have created a new world, the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene is defined as the idea that we have entered a new epoch in Earth’s geological history.
Plastic pollution in the ocean Introduction Rachel L. Carson said in her book “Water, soil, and the earth´s green mantle of plants make up the world that supports the animal life of the earth” (63). In other words, our planet was always a place which was dominated by nature and it had essential relations between plants and other plants and between plants and other animals (Carson, 1962). Since the modern human started to conquer the world a lot of things have changed and technology has taken over. My essay is about a quite new but very big problem which affects our wonderful planet; it is about plastic in the ocean.
Prince Ea’s video titled “Dear Future Generations: Sorry” portrays the possible future faced by future generations if people don’t take responsibility for environmental issues that mankind has caused. Humankind must apologize for leaving the Earth an eyesore for the generations to come because they gave themselves reasons to not act. The descendents of the people of today will be forced to live without tree, for the reason that people of today didn’t realize how extraordinary the Earth was. Trees did a great deal such as, provide oxygen, fight against human ailments and contamination, but they were cut down so humans could obtain money. Unlike the Native Americans who took care of the planet for their children’s children, humans now aren’t thinking about
The earth, our earth, once used to be a healthy environment, with no pollution or destruction. Not until humans began creating advanced technology and other inventions that started to affect the way we live. As humans we thought these inventions would just make life easier for us and we don’t mean to harm the planet. We are all trying to help the planet but at the same time, destroying it.
