Human activity has had a negative impact on plants and animals around the world. Some people think that this cannot be changed, while others believe actions can be taken to bring about a change.
In our contemporary society the debate over the drawbacks of human activities on flora and fauna around the globe is a matter of great contention. While some individuals believe that the negative impacts are unavoidable, others argue that human actions could positively change. Although it is argued by some that changing our course of actions is impossible, I opine that this is not only possible but also imperative, if we aim to preserve the nature for generations to come. In order to do that, technology and education are our best ally.
