In an increasingly industrialized world, the need to explore ways to protect the environment is crucial by analyzing the current pressing issues. While some people think that the primary environmental problem today is the loss of specific species of plants and animals, others argue that there are more concerning issues related to the environment. In my opinion, issues such as greenhouse gaseous emissions from industrialization, the usage of toxic chemicals, and waste generation are more important to look at rather than just the loss of species. This essay will discuss both views and restate my opinion.
