Our Environment Problems

Our mere home called the Earth is a small planet which we have lived only 3 million years on. It is our home which started changing its soft, fruity face to another miserable one. The question arises what is the motive reason for this: increasing population, poor natural resources, or our growth faster than slow environment ability? The view that believes in sustainability says that the whole world can reach and maintain American standards of living with a population of even 15 billion. Also it is argued that maintaining material progress is the highest priority and the best way to ensure that population eventually stabilizes at a sustainable level with a standard of living above the present American level and continues to improve thereafter. However, there is a widespread belief that the present standard of living of the advanced countries is not sustainable and not extendable to the present backward countries. This exposition mainly concerns scientific and technological basis for optimism rather than the historical and economic arguments. There are a number of questions, for example can the world grow enough food for 15 billion people? Are not our forests being exhausted? Is humanity suffering from an enormous loss of biodiversity? What if the population increases? Will not global warming do us in unless we drastically reduce our use of energy? The Declaration makes it clear that both science and religion are necessary in addressing environmental issues. Thus we will let our planet future under honest believes of people, especially when we remember that the history has not given us a real perfect people yet. Some say it would also be useful to make developed countries stop many of their industrial activities against the Earth and obey the international environmental protocols but who can make them do that .
