The environment will change dramatically in the next 50 years - an essay by Hye jin Kim

The environment is intimately connected with the activities of human beings. It is like a chain because if one part of the ecosystem is destroyed, other parts which are linked with it will also be corrupted. Because of this, many movements for protecting the planet are appearing around the world; nonetheless, many people have no awareness of this problem. For these reasons, I think that our environment will be dramatically changed and our generation will face a worse situation than us. There are two main aspects to the problems people made and will make destruction and pollution.

The first thing is the destruction of nature. We survive in a country by developing the land and people think that it is a normal thing that we can easily do; however, the land has a limit to how far it can be developed, that means that if it is within the range of recovery, the planet can return to something approaching its original condition. However, if it does not have the power of restoration, the soil will become infertile in a very short time. For example, the extent of Sahara desert is now so great because residents and nomads in this area excessively use the land by raising animals and cultivating grains. Furthermore, people are also developing the rainforest and other natural areas for their profit. As a result, the planet will lose the capacity for recovery and people will also lose the land which feeds them.

The second aspect is the pollution of air and water. For example, many cars emit exhaust fumes, and factories also use chemicals which harm the earth's air system. In addition, water is also affected by trash and things like food waste, which can cause the fish in lakes, rivers and seas to die. As a result, people can not breathe fresh air or drink enough water, and sometimes they will need other facilities to make oxygen and purify the water.

In my opinion, if we do not make an effort to solve those problems, our planet and future human beings are facing a situation which will be really different and even more difficult. There are some suggestions that people can do right now: doing cooperative projects such as recycling or reducing trash, and restricting excessive construction work. To sum up, if we do not make a significant change to our activities, the future will be entirely different, and rapid environmental change is not good for all living things including our children.

  4. The environment we live in will change dramatically in the next 50 year

    My opinion is that the environment we live in will change not very dramaticaly in that period of the time.
    Although goverments and people all over the world pollute the air and water and soil, but on the other hand you can see thet the goverments and public organizations of many countries try to do their the best with the pollution problems/
    For example Swediss enterpises recycle 96 persent of garbage and even export it from other countries and make many usefull things of it.
    To sum up i stronflybelieve that our environment will not change in terrible way so fast.
