A persuasive fact-based argument for an environment cause
Do you know that the environment keeps us alive? We should care for the environment because it provides us with basic needs (Cision PR Newswire, 2019). Every day, human beings interact with the environment and by the end of the day, human actions such as burning fossil, pollution, deforestation, and others endanger everything. L. Ron Hubbard said that if you want to be happy in life, protect the environment (Cision PR Newswire, 2019). Human beings have the responsibility to take care of the environment. States such as California and Seattle have recognized that protecting the environment is the way to happiness and now they have come up with initiates such as cleanups including picking up litter, cleaning up encampments, and other activities.
We should take care of the environment because;
- It is our home-we need to make our home more clear and habitable
- Avoid negative occurrences such as a rise in earth's temperature which may cause global warming, food shortage, and floods
- Protect the ecosystem
- Protect the diversity
- Protect essential raw materials
- We have a moral obligation to do so (Crowdstrike, 2020).
How should we take care of the environment for it to last longer?
Animal species provide many benefits to human being such as food and recreation. Thus, one way to protect the environment is to protect the ecosystem. Human activities have destroyed the marine ecosystem by activities such as hunting, overfishing, pollution, tourism, and more. However, there is evidence that one way of environmental conservation is habitat maintenance (Commonwealth of Australia, 2003). The local communities should come up with development projects to protect the marine ecosystem. For example, the marine protected area initiative should provide education and training for protecting marine species, regulate marine tourism, control fishing, and other activities. Without doubt, taking of the environment through protecting the marine species will contribute to food security, public health, and opportunities (Commonwealth of Australia, 2003). Remembers that happiness comes through protecting the environment. Therefore, let us all protect the marine wildlife for a better future. Let us encourage our friends to join conservative projects to keep the species alive in future generations. As teenagers, you will get a valuable opportunity to gain professional field experience which will help engage in community development and wildlife conservation. I would encourage each and every one to partner with the communities to protect the marine species.
The second way we can protect the environment is through planting and protecting trees. Do you know that trees provide health and social well-being through reducing air pollution, reducing particulate matter, reducing negative thoughts, increasing life satisfaction, reducing cardio-metabolic condition, providing physical and mental health, and creating livable communities (Turner‐Skoff & Cavender, 2019). Since maintaining the environment brings happiness, we all have the obligation to care for trees. As teenagers, it is important to get involved in rural and urban development and plant trees for a better world. Before protecting the external environment, start by protecting the environment around you; that is, plant trees in your home environment, and then in your community. Note that the environment is made up of living and non-living things. If people protect and plant trees, it means that all things within the environment will survive (Turner‐Skoff & Cavender, 2019). For example, the environment will be full of leaf-covered branches and animals will survive by eating leaves. In general, protecting the environment entails planting trees and protecting the species and the activities should be associated with sustainability goals.
