Robert Redford
Our natural environment provides us with everything that we ever need such as oxygen, water, food and resources. Many of the earth's resources are now vulnerable because they are influenced by human impact across the world. Therefore, I think concern for environment should be put in the category of our national security.
Environmental concerns are growing due to many reasons such as overpopulation, new technology and the high demand for natural resources. Humans are cutting forests to build infrastructure. However, they do not think of the consequences they might face in the future as deforestation disturbs the natural cycle between the environment and life on the earth. It can also cause global warming because there will be less trees to absorb carbon dioxide. Since, natural resources are limited, they should not be overused. Otherwise they will be gone forever. Instead, we could use renewable energy. This would also help save the environment from global warming. The use of environmentally unfriendly materials such as plastic should be discouraged. Safer environmentally friendly vehicles should be used. For short distances, people should be encouraged to use bicycles instead of motor-based vehicles. Domestic and industrial disposal should not be allowed to be dumped into the sea or ocean and the domestic and industrial garbage should be segregated as recyclable and non-recyclable before being dumped.
Throughout the evolution of Homo Sapiens, we have fulfilled our needs by destroying the natural environment without realising that it can have an impact on the future generations. Therefore, defending our resources is very important. Otherwise, what is there to defend?
