Some people believe that the main environmental problems of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In recent years, causes of environmental pollution

has been linked

Suggestion

have been linked

to different reasons. While many individuals are of the opinion that

this

issue is majorly

as a result

of extinction of specific plants and animals because,

this

increases disease causing pathogens which affects human health,

however

, I am of the opinion that there are more severe causes of hazards

such

as, use of plastic bags, traffic congestions, and cutting of trees which

also

affects daily living, as well as, health.

This

essay will discuss both views in details. The major reason for

this

school of thought is

increase

Suggestion

an increase

the increase

in organisms that can cause harm to the ecosystem.

In other words

, there is a rise in harmful species that would have been dissolved by

such

plants or animals. According to a research study, carried out by the Cary Institute of Ecosystem, in 2010,

for example

, it was discovered that about 99% of viruses, bacteria and fungi that were available approximately 100 years ago were no more, which has increased the prevalence of organisms causing diseases

such

as Lyme disease. Sadly,

this

does not directly affect the ecosystem

thus

, making the reason non essential to the hazards of the environment.

On the contrary

, there are major issues that have direct effects on our surroundings

such

as traffic congestion. Simply put, the main cause of air pollution today is, fumes from different sources. Take

for example

, the 2017 article, written and published by the

Sanitation Health

Sanitation, Health

Organization which

Accept comma addition

Organization, which

stated that, there is an increase in the depletion of the ozone layer from approximately 8% in 1990 to about 15.9% in 2016.

This

article, suggested that about 10% was caused by smoke being released into the atmosphere by either cars or burning bushes.

Hence

, there are many major factors contributing to environmental hazards. In conclusion, both ways produce problems to the environment,

however

, there are more crucial hazards

such

as, traffic congestion and use of plastic bags that are directly affecting the ecosystem and causing major health issues.
