Human activity has had a negative impact on planet and animals around the world. Some people think that this cannot be changed, while others think actions can be taken to bring about a change. Discuss both the views and give your opinion

Undoubtedly, for decades, human activity on
Earth
has negatively affected the environment, causing massive problems
such
as global warming and the extinction of various flora and fauna in the
world
. Some
people
argue that the damage cannot be reversed as it is too extensive.
However
, the opponents including myself believe that there are several steps that can be taken to slow down or even reverse
this
condition.
To begin
with, the
world
we are living in today has changed in the
last
20 or 30 years. One of the most significant changes is rising the
Earth
's temperature, leading to other issues
such
as rising the sea level and melting the polar ice that some
people
say could not be repaired.
This
in return may cause many lands to drown. Indeed, it is predicted that in 20 years Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia will drown, if the authority does not take significant steps to mitigate
this
issue. Another argument proposed by the
people
who believe that damages to the
Earth
are non-reversible is that many animals or plants have already extinct or are in great danger.
Therefore
, the
Earth
at some point will
also
extinct.
However
, In my opinion, there are several actions that can be taken to reduce the damage to the
Earth
. First of all, I agree that the main problem we face today is probably global warming as it affects all
people
around the
world
. In fact, the main cause of
this
problem would be the CO2 emissions from vehicles and industrial activities.
Therefore
, reducing greenhouse gas emissions may greatly reduce the
Earth
's temperature.
In addition
, many countries in the
world
have started to replace coal and fossil fuels with green energy sources to reduce the emission of
this
gas. Electric cars have
also
been introduced worldwide, and gaining popularity.
Also
, there are a few steps that can speed
this
positive development.
For example
, governments can put tax exemptions for citizens who own electric cars, and the public contributes by promoting a more environmental choice
such
as using public transport to commute
instead
of private vehicles. In conclusion, I believe that there is a lot we can do to save our planet,
such
as reducing greenhouse gas emissions by using electric cars and encouraging the use of greener energy sources.
