some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. discuss this views and give your own opinion.

While some persons would argue that the primary cause of our environmental problem in recent times is the

extinction

of some

plants

and animals species, others are of the claim, and I totally concur, that there are other trivial factors causing

this

trend.

This

essay will explain

further

. On the one hand, the loss of a particular species of plant and animal are the major causes of our environmental downturns, as proposed by some individuals.

However

, I do not agree with their suggestion. They are of the opinion that while

plants

utilize carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis, thereby reducing the

effects

of global warming, the decrease in their

number

would adversely affect our environment.

For example

, results from different studies have shown that the preservation of

plants

can help decrease the

effects

of global warming significantly.

Additionally

, the

extinction

of some insects which helps to pollinate some

plants

. to illustrate , the hunting of bees for honey would lead to their

extinction

and its

effects

would be greatly felt on the pollination for almond and apple.Due to the fact that their

extinction

alongside those of their pollinators (insects) would increase the

effects

of climate change, they are of the belief that their decline is the main contributing factor to our environmental issues.

On the other hand

, some persons would argue, and I agree, that the major cause of

this

trend is an increase in the

number

of car ownership.

This

is so because a significant proportion of these vehicles burn fossil fuel and in turn releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and

this

causes climatic change. According to daily times' magazine, the

effects

of global warming have risen by 10 per cent in the

last

decade, due to the increase in the

number

of individuals owning an automobile. Due to the fact that we have more persons commuting themselves from one place to the other with their individual cars, I am of the claim that

this

is the primary cause of

this

trend. In conclusion,

although

the loss of some

plants

and animal species can affect our environment negatively, as some people would propose, I do not agree with

this

statement.

However

, I am of the opinion that the rise in the

number

of privately owned cars is the major contributor to our problem.
