Some people believe that the Earth is being harmed(damaged) by human activity. Others feel that human activity makes the Earth a better place to live. What is your opinions. Use specific reasons and examples to support your oppinion.


The Earth is human being ’s green mother who offers us the best place to exist, the diversity of food to eat, the pure water to drink.. It is inevitable that the Earth contribute to a great impacts on human being. However, people,nowadays, are tending to destroy disastrously their own home thorough numbers of destroyable activities such as deforestation, building industrial factories and, the most important, world war.

At the first glance, people seem likely to be blind to money and benificial things, as they cut-down the trees widely causing deforestation that has resulted in soil erodibility,whenever happens flood or over raining, or step up the amount of cacbondioxite in the air released by traffic vehicles, such as air planes, trucks, cars, motobikes.. Thus, there have to be efficient methods in order to recover the areas of trees or to prevent wood-cutting so that human being can live longer in such a healthy enviroment everlastingly.

Apart from the deforestation, establishing such heavy industrial zones in the borders of residential areas have to be blamed for many serious diseases causing epidemics.

This, as continued, will destroy the health of that near citizens and cause many after-effects to our latter generations.

Last but no least, the most disastrous thing created by human being is war. World is suffer badly from what remained from nations tackling in first and second world war. As throwing two nuclear bombs to two cities named hirosima and narasaki causing lots of people’s death. Nowadays, there are still many war existed like the battle between united states and irak, religious conficts within one nation. Plus, dealing together in peace helps those nation escape from war as to bring valuable benefits to not only each of them, but also their residents.

As considered, I strongly state that the earth is now being harmed seriously by human activity. Therefore, the establishment of world wide organizations,such as WHO, WTO.. is in need to human being in order to form the earth to be not only the place to live but also the true warm house for every people in the world.
