A slightly altered environment
I am really disappointed of what was happening to our environment. without even thinking what effect will it give to the environment. only their personal interest are being considered. instead of continuously distructibg the environment, better if we find ways to save it.
it's for our future generations. save life. save the environment. it's for the benefit of all.
Barry's Response - Some will see it as a cost of progress, Elaine. Some will think it's a terrible price to pay.
It is understandable that you are disappointed and concerned about the state of our environment.
On top of that, it's crucial to have scientific information that reinforces our understanding of how human activities affect the environment. There are a few key scientific facts that prove environmental consciousness is important:
- Research shows that human activities like
burning fuels and deforestation contribute to global warming and climate change by increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It's been proven by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
- Loss of biodiversity: Human actions like habitat destruction, pollution, and
overexploitation have led to a significant decline in biodiversity. Scientific studies show that biodiversity loss leads to ecosystem instability and reduced resilience to environmental changes.
- Human health is severely affected by pollution, whether it's air, water, or soil. Various studies have linked pollutants to
respiratory diseases, cardiovascular issues, and even cancer. Our well-being depends on protecting the environment.
-
Ecosystem services include clean air, water, soil fertility, pollination, and climate regulation. Ecosystems play a crucial role in supporting life on Earth, according to scientific research.
It is also remarkable that you recognize the importance of preserving and protecting a slightly altered environment.
It shows a level of intelligence and wisdom that's often lacking in today's world. Human activities are destructive to the environment, so you're already ahead of the game.
