Some people say that the main environmental problem of our times is the loss particular species of plants and animals. Other say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

As for me, I think environmental problems occur because of the extinction of some particular species of plants and animals. Because I do believe that the existence of various animals and plants on our
Earth
are having a special role in order to keep our
Earth
alive and in balance. As we know from history, living creatures
such
as animals and plants in any era played an important part in
Earth
's growth. Imagine the fish in the ocean extinct because too many fish are taken out from the ocean. It will possibly create an imbalance that can affect the food web and lead to a loss of other important marine life. Or imagining the increase of the sea level because we, human, are not mindful of using our resources which comes from the
Earth
. Other issues that I think
also
caused a serious environmental problem is our behaviour and habit towards living on
this
Earth
. In
this
era, we are trained to act fast, think fast, and do multiple tasks at one time. We forget that we have the right and time to think, to contemplate the best response that we have to take. In order to keep the balance in life, in our environment. In short, we as a human who has the sense to think, act, and express different from other creatures, actually have to act mindful in every
action
we took. Especially when it comes to our environment. Life goes by and the environmental problem is still here and might become worst. So, as the Earthling, we have to take serious
action
on
this
issue. Started from now and starting from ourselves. Remember that we all can take
