Some people believe that the Earth is being harmed (damaged) by human activity. Others feel that human activity makes the Earth a better place to live. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

While some people argue that people's activities have created several problems for the planet, others claim that the Earth has become a better place for living thanks to human activities. In my opinion, I totally agree with the former point of view. On the one hand,

water

pollution has been a serious issue, which almost all countries have to face.

Firstly

, manufacturers directly discharge toxic chemicals to rivers, lakes, and seas

instead

of investing money in wastewater treatment. These activities result in some severe consequences, one of which is the death of many sea creatures and wild animals. As an illustration, according to

BBC

the BBC

, In April 2016, large numbers of dead fish were found on the coast in Vietnam. The massive fish kill was caused by

water

pollution from toxic industrial waste discharged by a steel plant of Formosa Plastics.

Secondly

,

human irresponsible behavior

the human irresponsible behaviour

human irresponsible behaviour

is the main cause of making environmental

water

full of plastic garbage. A large amount of plastic waste is thrown everywhere and

finally

, it goes into rivers, lakes, and seas.

As a result

, a great deal of fish or birds will die because of eating

this

trash.

On the other hand

, global warming is another challenge caused by human activities. The main cause of climate change is greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon emissions from human daily life and production activities around the world are the main culprit. The demand for energy consumption has been increasing every year that leads to consuming more and more fossil fuels, which gives rise to more emissions of greenhouse gases. The

second

reason is the deforestation caused by clear-cutting for agriculture.

This

is because farmers cut forests to provide more room for planting crops. Scientists have proved that trees can considerably absorb large amounts of carbon

dioxide which

dioxide, which

will prevent global warming. If the number of trees is reduced, less carbon dioxide is removed. In conclusion, I believe that human activities have been devastating the environment by contaminating

water

and changing climate.
