    The document discusses the importance of protecting the environment and the negative impacts of its destruction. It argues that the environment is fragile and provides everything needed to support human life, including air, food, water, and regulating climate. However, human activities like overpopulation, pollution, deforestation, and fossil fuel use are damaging the environment and triggering problems like climate change and water pollution. While some destructive activities provide short-term benefits, long-term protection of the environment is needed to ensure future generations can survive.

    POSITION PAPER

    THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR ENVIRONMENT


    Environment is everything that is around us. It plays an important role
    in the healthy living of human beings. It matters because it is the only home
    that human have. It provides air, foods, and other needs. It also plays an
    important role in regulating air and climate. Another reason why our
    environment is so important because it is a source of natural beauty and it’s
    necessary for proper physical and mental health too.

    Imagine a world in which people would not see trees and blue sky
    when they go outside. Imagine stepping out of a house and not being able to
    walk a few feet without getting winded because of the amount of pollution in
    the air. This might become a reality if our society as a whole does not start
    to think about the result of our actions. The environment is a very fragile
    thing and if we do not take care of it, future generation will not be able to
    enjoy it. I have an experience that reflects about destroying our
    environment. One day, I was walking in the street when I saw a big truck
    overloaded with logs. I asked my mother about where the logs came from.
    She told me that the logs were came from the mountain. She also said that
    those logs are came from illegal logging. After that, I became disappointed
    and I feel sad to the people who did that kind of mistake which is they
    destroyed our environment instead of caring it. They should be the one who
    leads the new generation to take care of our environment.

    Humans impact the physical environment in many ways:


    overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes
    like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and
    undrinkable water. These negative impacts can affect human behavior and
    can prompt mass migrations or battles over clean water. There are some
    ways to avoid those negative effects: plant a tree, bike more and drive less,
    conserve water, and practice reduce, reuse, and recycle.

    Aside of having disadvantages, destroying our environment may also


    help in our daily lives that we may consider as an advantage. Most of the
    people cut down trees, use dynamite in fishing, building infrastructure in
    farmlands to earn money for their needs.

    We can say that the destruction of our environment has advantages


    and disadvantages. Having advantages doesn’t mean that we should
    destroy our environment. As the one who assigned to take care of our
    environment, we should do it with wholeheartedly so that the lives of the
    next generation and our future will be save
