As Earth runs out of natural resources, we have to started to look to space for solutions. However, some people argue that this is wrong thing to do, and instead we should look for alternative solutions here on Earth. To what extent to do you agree with them? What alternative might there be to exploiting space for natural resources?
As the population on
earth
is increasing at a significant rate than previously, the natural resources
are rapidly depleting. Some critics argue that looking for solutions
in space
is wrong while others claim that alternative
solutions
must be found on Earth
. Although
there are other methods of searching for such
resources
, I strongly disagree that solutions
must be found on Earth
.
First
and foremost, our ancestors have been travelling across the ocean to find landscapes to conquer for new resources
. This
is because of the basic instincts of human beings which are "The strongest survives".Above all else, when the natural resources
on Earth
deplete and there are no other means of obtaining them, humans must travel to space
in order to survive. For instance
, the Britains have travelled to Australia looking for new resources
and ended up colonizing the aboriginals. Thus
, looking to space
for solutions
to natural resources
is inevitable.
On the other hand
, there are alternative
methods already available that could potentially allow the human race to survive in the future without having to look to space
. The reasons are quite simple, many countries across the globe are now switching to energy solutions
that are produced naturally. For example
, many households are now switching to solar panels to generate electricity which is beneficial for the planet's well-being. As a result
, there are alternative
solutions
that already exist here on Earth
.
In conclusion, with the aforementioned arguments and suggestions, alternative
solutions
can be found on Earth
. Nevertheless
, I strongly disagree that alternative
methods should be looked for on Earth
because when there are no more natural resources
available, the only option will be in space
