Humans Harm the Environment We, humanity, have an extraordinary ability to define the world in terms of human needs and perceptions. However, we forget the urgency of "Mother Nature" to maintain balance, purity and the need for time to replenish the resources we extract so quickly. Throughout history, humanity has implemented many new technologies with uncertainty about its effects on the environment. Today we are starting to feel the repercussions of these developments on the environment. However, the worst is yet to come. We have not yet felt all the harm that will come from our inventions, yet we continue to further pollute and destroy our world. Society has now been educated and shown more interest in the conservation of our ecosystem, but it will take a long time before we see the results of our work, and that is, if it is not too late. Twenty-five years from now, Earth may be well on its way. way to recovery. As more and more societies begin to understand the need for conservation, more actions should be taken to support it. Furthermore, individual households could become more energy efficient, just as consumers could begin to put more pressure on large companies to behave more environmentally friendly. business. “Science and technology will continue to advance, resulting in new resources being developed to take the place of depleted ones” (Clark & Wallace p. 41). This quote, taken from the Cornucopian Thesis, suggests that there is no need to worry about our current rate of resource extraction, as new ones will soon be created... middle of paper... with the costs and negative consequences of new technologies(Suzuki, 88)". This is a colossal reaction to our way of life, which we cannot afford. This lifestyle trend will continue throughout the next twenty-five years, leaving our environment even more damaged than it is already. To ensure quality life in the future, we must relax our demands and effects on the Earth. Humanity has already expanded the limits of the environment enough to be able to satisfy its needs and desires In twenty-five years the environmental damage could be comparable to today, but if we don't start cleaning it up now, the damage could be colossal...
