    Although human activities are making Earth less suitable for human life. As wealthy nations consume vast resources while half the world struggles to survive, we are rapidly depleting the very resources necessary for all people to survive and prosper. Everywhere, fertile soil is being built on or washed into the sea, and renewable resources are being overexploited to the point that they may never fully recover. As a result, the planet's capacity to support human life is declining as demands increase. We must use resources sustainably so they last indefinitely, rather than wastefully so they soon run out and harm everyone.

    Protecting the Environment

    One of the things that worries people most nowadays is the environment. In the
    last few decades, humans have been polluting way too much, which has had a
    negative effect on the environment. For this reason, we must protect it from now
    on.
    First, we ought to start paying attention to the 3 Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle.
    By doing so, we will reduce the quantity of rubbish, we will not throw away so
    many things and we will be able to recycle most of our waste.
    Secondly, a very good idea is to stop using cars so much and start cycling or
    walking a little more. For example, instead of commuting by car, we can try to
    do it on foot or by bike.
    Finally, if we really want to change things, we should teach young pupils about
    the dangers of contamination and pollution. It’s the only way to change the
    future, because they are the future citizens of the world.
    In conclusion, I believe that if we do these three things, we can still prevent
    humans from destroying the environment.
