It is undeniable that human kind has been doing harm to the environment in various ways. However, I argue that for both governments and individual people, there is still many a choice to protect the nature.

People damage the environment in visible and invisible ways that are both irreversible and should be stopped. Humans change the environment at their wills, sometimes turning forests into farmlands where crops are yielded and expelling animals from homes. These are unacceptable in homes to wildlife and can bring unavoidable damages to local ecosystem. Furthermore, plants and factories omit exhausted gases and pour poisonous water during the process of the production, ignoring other creatures in the vicinity. For example, in London, waste liquids poured into Thames River used to cause the disappearance of some endangered animals, and gases from coal plants influenced adversely genetic structure of fauna and flora in the neighbourhood.

Although the environment has been increasingly serious, governments and individual people can eliminate or tackle it in various ways. On the other hand, governments can introduce laws suggesting the punishments for producers’ releasing waste materials beyond the laws. Governments also can tax the pollution, collecting fines for building infrastructures of protecting the environment. On the other hand, individuals should observe the laws concerning the environment. People can participate in and propagate environmental protection campaigns, making more people aware of the significance of doing this.

In conclusion, although the environment faces serious damages by people’s misbehaviours, governments and individuals can still contribute to making the planet better.
