   Some people believe that the Earth is being harmed by human activity. Others feel that human activity make the Earth a better place to live. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

   Human, without any doubt, is the dominant animal living in the Earth. Some people believe that thanks to human activities, the Earth has become a better place. However, there are those who say that that these activities have created several problems to the planet. After considering these two opinions, I totally agree with the latter as the Earth’s environment has been severely damaged by human activities.

    To begin with, nowadays, almost all countries have to face with water pollution. The main cause of this is that every year, a large amount of garbage is thrown into lakes, rivers, and seas. This irresponsible behavior has resulted in some serious consequences, one of which is the death of many sea creatures and wild animals. It is because not only do they drink the contaminated water but also mistake the poisonous waste as their food. A good example of this is that every year, a considerable number of birds is poisoned as they have eaten plastic bottle caps that were floating on the water. As water is one of the basic needs of every creature, if human do not stop polluting the water, many animal will become extinct in the very near future.

   Another environmental problems caused by human activities is air pollution. This is mainly caused by gas released from factories or motor vehicles such as cars, trains or airplanes. In my city, air pollution is so severe that people have to wear a mask whenever they go out. This pollution is also known as one of the contributor to global warming. It is because the more greenhouse gases are emitted from factories, the more the sun’s heat are kept near the Earth surface. This has led to the rise of the Earth temperature, which is also known as global warming.

   I personally believe that human are responsible for all kinds of contamination happening now, including water and air pollution. Those pollutions are extremely dangerous as it not only affect seriously the current generation’s lives, but also the future generation of our planet.
