The world is changing at a rapid pace nowadays due to the actions of human
populations. I am of the opinion that humanity has had a mostly negative effect on
the planet. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following
essay.
To begin with, industrial development has caused major air pollution, which
has a terrible effect on our health. Every week we can hear news reports about how
horrible air quality is in major cities all over the world. Additionally, it is often
reported that chronic lung diseases are on the rise and that there is a connection
between these two trends. I am reminded of the years I spent living in Beijing,
which is home to many massive factories. After having spent most of my life living in
the Georgian countryside where the air is mostly clean, I immediately noticed the
smog and pollution of urban China. Within months I began suffering from a variety
of respiratory illnesses and had difficulty breathing. As a result, I spent quite a few
afternoons at a local hospital being treated for various throat and lung infections.
Secondly, human development has led to a massive accumulation of trash,
which spoils the natural beauty of the planet. While in the past products were often
made of biodegradable materials like paper and wood, today most manufactured
goods are made of plastic that never breaks down. When I
traveled to the island of Borneo last summer I was impressed by the beauty of the
place, but I also noticed that the natural environment was marred by an
accumulation of plastic bags and water bottles
In conclusion, I strongly believe that human activity has made the planet a
less pleasant place to live. This is because people are more likely to suffer from
the effects of pollution than in the past, and because humans create garbage which
has destroyed the natural beauty of our world.
