Human activity has had a negative impact on plants and animals around the world. Somepeople believe that it is too late to do something while others believe that actions can be taken to improve the situation. Discuss both the perspectives and give your opinion.

In our world, the activity of one living thing affects the other.
This
has raised an argument among people about whether or not the negative impact human
activities
have on plants and
animals
is remediable or not.
This
essay seeks to discuss both opinions. Meanwhile, my stance on
this
matter is, that whilst some of our bad habits on these creatures can be reversed, others cannot. On the one hand, human
activities
such
as air pollution and illegal mining cause irreversible harm to
trees
and
animals
.
For instance
, it is widely known that burning fossil fuels releases toxic substances into the atmosphere that worsen the already existing global situation

such
as plants and causes the meltage of glaciers or oceans disrupting the ecosystem.

it clear that some harmful human
activities
with deleterious environmental effects can never be salvageable.
On the other hand
,
however
, deforestation and land pollution are
also
well-known human acts on the environment that can be reversed. Research has it that, growing
trees
can replace and even outnumber those that were cut down. To cite an example is the national policy passed by the Ghana government that each household should grow 2
trees
in their compound to promote aforestation. It is
also
possible to clear filth that was improperly disposed of land and rid them of through appropriate means.
Thus
, it is apparent that some of our unpleasant effects on the environment can be worked on to improve the impact.
To sum up
, I strongly believe that some human
activities
on other creatures
such
as plants and
animals
cause irreversible effects whilst others can be salvaged.
