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 both these views and give your own opinion.

The world is suffering from numerous environmental
problems
. A group of individuals present the view that nowadays, losing some kinds of plants and
animals
is a substantial concern for the
environment
, whereas others believe that
this
is not a significant concern for the
environment
and there is a vast number of
issues
which are more prominent. I strongly agree with the latter opinion. On the one hand, some people justifiably argue that there are several environmental
problems
that should be taken more under consideration. Global warming and
Plastic
waste are more important among other
problems
because these are the basic
problems
. Due to the fact that Global warming stems from carbon emission in the air, it can be increased by driving cars which are used from fossil fuels.
Furthermore
, dropping
plastic
waste in the
environment
is a serious issue for the
environment
. Indeed, a
plastic
bottle,
for instance
, takes hundreds of years to decompose.
Therefore
, leaving them in nature can lead to many adverse effects on sea creatures.
On the other hand
, another group of people claim that these days, they are more concerned about the extinction of some particular species of plants and
animals
. They insist that since a vast number of these creatures are the main food sources for human and
animals
, their extinction are more likely to have many negative effects on human lives.
However
, I am not convinced by
this
weak argument, as we should find the main and basic
issues
, before being concerned about the loss of the plants and
animals
.
Consequently
, as I mentioned before, the more important
issues
regarding the
environment
are global warming and
plastic
waste. To conclude, in my opinion, the issue of being aware of global warming and
plastic
pollution is of paramount importance.
Moreover
, if we address these
issues
, we will be able to overcome the extinction of vegetation and
animals
.
