The
Destruction of The Environment
I.
The environment is the
complex set of physical, geographic, biological, social, cultural, and
political conditions that surround an individual or organism and that
ultimately determine its form and the nature of its survival. These days most
of us are aware that our environment is being destroyed by our own actions. Most of people in this
world are making some mistakes that cause the destruction of the environment.
There are some bad situations that can destroy the environment, such as global
warming, radiations, deforestation and air pollution.
The first bad situation is global warming that caused by the greenhouse effect. usually the heat from the sun warms the earth goes back up into space. Nowadays there are too much carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere prevent the sun's there are too much carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere prevent the sun's heat to go back up again, so the earth is getting warmer. some parts of the world may experience very long periods of dry weather call droughts which have bad effect on crops. The summer also causes the ice at the north and south poles to melting which causes floods in other parts of the world. As the result of that situation is the earth get the bad effect, such as the earth is getting warmer.
The second bad situation is some radiations can damage people's skin and cause cancer. Substances called CFCs from chlorofluorocarbons, are used in refrigerators or aerosol can, such as, hairspray and mosquito repellent cans and in the making of some plastic products. There's a layer of gases on the surface of the earth, called the ozone layer, which helps protect the earth from the suns dangerous ultraviolet radiation. These kind of radiation can damage our skin and cause cancer. CFCs have made holes in the ozone layer. As the result of its situation, now more ultraviolet radiation is coming through these holes.
The third bad situation is the deforestation and air pollution can destruct the environment. Rain forests usually absorb carbon dioxide to keep global warming under control. Now a lot of these forests have been destroyed , an act called deforestation. so the atmosphere now contains more carbon dioxide. As the result is that the earth is getting warmer. The destruction of the forests has also resulted in the extinction of certain plant and animal species because their habitats have turned to dry areas of land, or even into deserts. Air pollution is caused by the fumes of car or motorbike that blow out to the air. A lot of petrol contains lead and when you breathe in this poisonous substance, people may get brain damage. Air pollution is also caused by waste gases from factories and power stations. Some poisonous gases dissolve in water, in the atmosphere, and the fall to the earth. This is called acid rain which can damage trees and buildings and can kill living organism. So, all the human in this world have to keep safely their environment from the bad action and the bad situation, such as deforestation and air pollution.
II.
In conclusion, there
are some situations can damage the environment, for example, global warming,
radiations, deforestation, and air pollution.therefore, the people should realize how
important the environment and they must preserve from the smallest to the
biggest things that can cause damage to the earth. Self awareness of each
people can improve the state of nature around the world. Then, they have to
remain friendly to the environment and maintain what they have to preserve.
