Wild Essay- Killing Ourselves

One of the things that are important for me is our environment. Nature is one of the most things that we luckily have but we’re destroying it. With the expansion of cities nature is becoming smaller. Pollution, global warming and extinctions are consequences of our carelessness on Nature. We all need to do something to protect and save Nature. Something small is better that nothing. Save ourselves means save nature.

With the advance technology that is around the world nature is being affected. Now the ozone’s cap has bigger hole in it and that lets the ultraviolet light toward us that affects our skin. Pollution is the main cause for this problem. Plants of pollution, Cars and fabrics pollute more and more causing many medical problems in our body. The air has high levels of carbon dioxide that affects our respiratory system. As we advance in technology we take over forest and convert them in cities or we just take what we need and leave. The contamination of the ocean and earth is a big issue. We have less clean water to drink and fewer trees that will give us air to breath. But who cares? People go around worry about their own life not about what’s around them. If they have to cut down trees so they can have a house they’ll be glad to do it.

We’ve seen in the news that global warming is dangerous and some say that it might be false but this is the time to prevent it. The weather is changing dramatically like in this past week. There were days that it rain and the sky was full of gray clouds and the next day the bright sun came out with a clean sky. Some days are really cold and the next day gets really hot. This change is proving of how the climate is changing. Throughout time many species are being extinct and many more are in danger of extinction. The massacre of animals has been around, an example of that are sharks that men are killing in the ocean only to get their upper tail and most of the times they throw the sharks alive to drown. However, most of us don’t care because it doesn’t affect us nor help us. Trees, plants and animals population is getting small and add that to the unnecessary waste of water, light and others sources that we take without any consciousness.

With all of these selfish actions, at the end, the ones that are going to be in danger of extinction will be human race. There aren’t going to be plants or animals that will feed us or protect us. Little by little we are killing ourselves by killing what’s around us. We may blame each other but we all have the fault for wasting resources and not doing anything to save nature. People rather have a big house and a cool car than an average house so it won’t take that much energy and a hybrid car so it’ll help the environment. Most of us waste everything thinking that there is enough to waste but at the end nothing is going to be left in Earth.

One way to compensate what we take from nature can be by planting seeds or taking care of plants that are already growing. For every fruit that we eat, we take the seeds and plant them so it can grow and be one more tree. Saving water, light and other sources can also help. And probably the most important thing to do is recycling. Recycle bottles, cans, paper etc and the best part for that is that you get paid for recycling! But most people aren’t doing a thing to save it; they just care about money and destroy forest without any concern. Nature is dying little by little and we are dying too with nature. At the end what will happen is going to be the consequences of our actions.
