Many people do not care enough about environmental issues. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Everybody knows that any damage to the

environment

can be harmful to us and

also

the

next

generations.

Although

any issue about the

environment

can affect our daily life, unfortunately, these days most people do not care enough about environmental problems. The

environment

is not important for the majority of people for several reasons Education is an important factor to make people sensitive about the

environment

. Regrettably,

this

matter is not considered enough in the school textbooks. So, children

can not

can not

cannot

be aware of their natural

surrounding

the environmental condition

surroundings

as it deserves. Another important reason is that most people do not think about the prosperity who will live on the planet in the upcoming decades and centuries.

For example

, consider people who are cutting down trees as much as they can for timber and to produce some materials like paper. They do not care about the damages of

this

to the

environment

, which would become considerable in the future.

Furthermore

, some of the environmental effects will not take place just after doing some harmful actions

by

Suggestion

of

humans.

Therefore

, people do not recognise the impact of their actions immediately.

For example

, there are enough water resources for current and maybe the

next

decade, so some people may think that they can use it as much as they want and

therefore

do not try to save water. They do not believe a small mistake by each person could destroy the

environment

in the long and even short run. The recent

bushfire

in Australia started from some small fire and led to the extinction of about 30 native species there. To conclude, people do not care enough about environmental problems for various reasons, including poor education, ignoring the

next

generations and their needs. Nor do they pay attention to the long-term effects of human activities, being careless about the knock-on effects.
