ENV: Nature vs People


Some people think that nature will take steps to rectify any damages in
the environment caused by people.


     The problems of the environment have been a subject of hot debates for the
last decade. There is an opinion that if we keep on rejecting responsibilities to
take care of nature and ecology the human race is doomed to failure.
However, there are those with more optimistic views.
      In my opinion, people overestimate the recovering capacities of nature and
one day may find themselves living on barren lands and breathing poisonous
air. The first point to bear in mind is that air pollution created by fabric
emissions and car fumes effect the ozone layer a lot. If it is destroyed
completely the Earth will be exposed to scorching sun rays and end up being
burnt. A further point is that there is no way nature will be able to recreate the
population of endangered species ones man has hunted them to the point of
extinction. As result of it the balance in the ecosystem will be devastated and
some animals will fail to find food and gradually die out.
      However, there are some people who claim that we have nothing to worry
about as all the changes in the environment are inevitable and natural.
According to them, the ozone layer is self-repairing and the ecosystem is
regenerative.
      With all due respect, I tend to disagree with this point of view as the truth is
that but for humans there would never be polluted rivers without fish and
rainforests abandoned by animals.
       To sum up, even though nature does have a great ability to rejuvenate some
damages caused by people it is obvious that it will not be able to win the fight
against the humans’ distractive actions.
