Introduction

Did you know that the world is coming to an end? Well, according to hundreds of research that have been conducted concerning the environment, there has been a rising concern about the environmental degradation. The environment has been destroyed consistently in such a way that nature wants to punish human being by eradicating its existence (Assessing, 2000). Environment welfare is the new agenda for many countries because if the solution is not found, then there is a possibility of future tragic that will happen like tornados like never imagined, the ozone layer depletion, floods and thousands of other health problems which have started showing up already. Environment degradation is not only a threat to one country but to all the countries and some countries have already experienced the harsh reality (Kutz, 2012). Environment degradation is a threat to the world of tomorrow, and it is the high time that every person including young and old to start the mission of saving the environment.

History

The environment is the surrounding in which makes it possible for human being to live. Destroying the environment, therefore, means that the life of human being is also being destroyed. In thousands and thousands of years, the environment was always a clean place where a person could breathe fresh air and people would live a long life with the scarcity of diseases. Gone are the days where there were no big industries that pollute the environment. There were very few industries and technology that could have threatened the well-being of the environment. People mostly utilized the use of renewable sources like the wind and the sun, and there was the very little threat to the environment. However, things started changing during the industrialization era. The era of the 1900s was the awakening of all enemies of the environment.

During the 1900s, there were hundreds of inventions which were very good and facilitated to the growth and development of many nations. However, it was also the time when the environment could be destroyed to a point where the repair was almost impossible. There are some countries like literally; killing’ the environment without mercy. It all started with inventions of things like train, fertilizers, cars, energy sources and the many industries that made this thing possible (Park & Labys, 1998). The first train invented emitted a lot of smoke in the environment, the many industries emitted harmful smokes in the air, the cars emitted smoke too, almost everything that was invented was harmful to the environment. Some countries like Brazil were the first countries to see this and tried to change their methods of technological advancement. But other countries have not learned like Peru, India, Mexico, and China. It is the high time that governments should try and change the way of development considering the environments well fair otherwise the following consequences will be tragic.

1st problem; pollution

Pollution is the main participator of environment degradation. Pollution can be in the form of air, water, and land. The hundreds of industries found all over the countries that are used for manufacturing purposes are the sole enemies of air, water, and land pollution. These industries pollute the environment by the smoke they emit in the air (Kutz, 2012). They emit the carbon dioxide gas making the environment balance of air composition to be disturbed. This, in turn, causes the destruction of the ozone layer and causes of millions of health problems ah are already killing people like cancer, and other dangerous diseases are still being experienced. Land pollution takes the form of mining which involves digging the ground deep. Water pollution is the thousands of chemical that are released in the water sources like rivers, lakes, and oceans (Hester et al, 2002). Water is where millions of inhabitants leave, and it is sad that the chemical is causing millions of death of sea creatures. Many countries love eating fish creatures, why then destroy the same lives that feed a human being. This is just, but an outline of the details was to be provided, they would probably be a book (Assessing, 2000). Imagine the noises in the cities, the loud music, and the toxic plants that are growing in the sea, the hazardous energy sources like petrol and diesel and many other things that are making environment unbearable to live.

2nd problem; deforestation

Deforestation is a major cause of environment degradation. Trees bring rain which in turn helps many people and countries that are unable to get clean water sources (Hester et al. 2002). Many industries are cutting down trees without caring about the after math. The houses, the chairs, the millions of structures that are being built are by use of the millions of trees that are being cut down. This does not mean that trees should not be cut down (Kiggundu, 2002). Cutting down the trees is not the issue, but the planting of more trees is the real issues. It is so sad that industries cut down trees but do not plant more, and they expect to get even more wood in the future. The more people cut down trees, and they do not plant more trees the more they are making the environment worse.

3rd problem; the natural causes

The eternal destruction of the environment through emissions and pollutions have encouraged natural disasters to be a common thing. It is like Karma of nature. There is water that has been polluted, the forest that has been cut down, the air that has been enriched by harmful gases like carbon dioxide and nitrogen, and the land that have constantly been destroyed (Kutz, 2012). They have somehow found their way to revenge to humans by causing things like earthquakes, tides, storms, wildfire, avalanches, volcanos and ozone destruction. Many countries get billions of resources destructed by this natural causes. A good example is a Chilean earthquake that caused the death of 6,000 innocent human beings dead, and more than a billion worth property destroyed in 1960 (Park & Labys, 1998). As if this was not a warning enough, people continued to play with nature, and in December 2006, Thailand and surrounding were hit with five tsunamis that killed almost 250,000 people and an approximate of $7 billion dollar property damage (Kaden & Rose, 2015).

Conclusion

 Humans all over the world; the young and the old, why are we constantly killing ourselves by destroying the environment that we live. Why people are destroying the waters that we rely on for drinking and irrigation. Why are people destroying the air that every person breathes, why are people destroying the lands that all human beings rely on for living? Why are humans cutting down the trees that make nature look beautiful and trigger raining?  Should we be doing the opposite instead? Cut down one tree plant four more, recycle the liquid chemicals and use it to be economical, find alternatives to energy sources like the renewable energy, just make sure everything anyone does only contribute to saving the environment (Kiggundu, 2002). Everybody should ask themselves if development and growth are more worth than the value of life. If there is the time to save the precious environment, it is now or never.
