Heavy traffic, air pollution, long of forest, unlimited hunt of animals are the most serious problems that our planet face nowadays. Taking into account those problems is necessary to ask us if human activity has been damage the earth. I think that human activity clearly is guilty of the damage that our planet suffers. And I think this, based in the unlimited exploitation of the natural resources, and the constant desire of humans to adapt the earth to their needs.

First and foremost, Deeping in the idea that unlimited exploitation of the natural resources is the biggest sour of damage in the earth just think that every hour are long hundred acres of forest. For instance the Amazonas forests is the most damage region and as a consecuence thousands of animals have been extinguish. This is a weight reason to think that activities are harming our world.

Secondly, another big problem that face our planet is the desire of humans to adapt the earth to their needs, for example building industries, building big cities that produce heavy traffic, over population and air pollution. Enough reasons to think that our activities are the principal enemies of our world.

Finally, as a conclusion and taking into account the ideas express above, is necessary to modify our life style instead to modify the earth, and try to avoid the unlimited exploitation of natural resources. I strongly recommend those tip if we want a better place for the next generation.

Nowadays our planet has suffered differents changes.

Everywhere around the world, we are seeing destruction and death.

For that reason I consider that Human activity is killing the planet.

People only want money and dont have awareness to take care our system of life.

Firstly, Big industries only want to make money without thinking in the damage that they can do to the planet.

For example in our city Bogota, the main polution places are Fontibon and Puente Aranda and there are operating the biggest companies of de country.

This situation produce a big chance in the temperature of the city and make more hot the planet.

On the other hand, people know about the problem but they think that they dont have responsability in the solution.

It Is commun seeing that only few persons around the world recycle and save water in their houses.

Maybe they want that big organizations to do something.

Is difficult protect the earth, forests and seas if people dont take part of the problem.

In conclusion, Human activity is the main reason of damage to the planet and

in general people dont do anything because they are very occupated in their own lifes.

If each one of us dont create an awareness about this big problem in few years we will do nothing to save the planet.

the human activity in the earth has done human's life easier but this has brought several problems to this planet, in addition human beings thinks that the earth has uncontables resourses, however this is not like they think. For this reasons that nowadays many human activities are damaging the erath. In rthe following peragraph I explain the reasons of my view point.

Firstly, human beings has done manythings to do human's life easier and confortable such as: cars, airplanes, big cities where you can find everithing that you need etc. But these things need energy for make useful for example cars need gasoline for creating the enough energy to transtortate people from a place to other place, but gasoline in cars produces many sustancies that contamines the earth air. moreover in this planet there are thousands of cars therfore more contamination for the earth. For this reason I think that tthe human activity has damaged the earth.

On the other hand, the resourses of our planet are being finished, however human beings follow use them without awareness of this, despite of many sign that the earth has done in the last years. For example, the water that is one the most important resourses, because we can not live without it, But this is being finished and the people waste it . then, people is damaging the planet

In conclusion, the human activity has damaged the earth, because this has brought bad consequences to the earth like contaminaton and human beings have wasted almost all the resourses like water. Then humans should do activities in order to try to saved the few resourses that have yet and to decrease contamition such as other kind to create energy.

We live in an endless univers, and this is composed by millions of stars and planets, but those planets has no human life. Scientifics say they are found out life on mars, but the true is that mars has no the condition for humans to live in. Despite of the greatness of universe we have just one home, one planet. And this planet is earth and we live there. Despite of this, humans has been polluting the air, water, soil and harming flora and fauna in name of development. In order to get a much easier life we have been damaging nature due to an unaware development and because of mass production we have been exhausting our natural resources.

Is okay to evolve, it is okay to do things much easier in order to live a ver good life, but we have to be aware that if we want to have a good quality life we can not poison our nature, and just step it aside, saying that development and nature are different, this is a wrong idea. For instance, we have developed electronic devices that make our life easier, we have cellphones, we have gps, toys,etc but those devices need batteries and nowaday batteries polluted the soil due to the acids and quimical waste, the same as plastic, we have bags to carry food, we have bottles but this are polluting our soil because it is shown that plastic is discomposed for 500 years after. For this reason we are polluting our home in name of unaware development.

And to make things much more interesting, we have mass producction. all of us know that in these days there are more people than in the past, and we are consuming our natural resources. One example is the furniture sector. in order to make more revenues, these enterprises run down our natural resources, they cut off trees, pollute the air with their machines, even some of them kill endager species. For this reason humans also pollut earth.

To conclude. unfortunately human beens are polluting earth in name of unaware development and in name of easy answer to make revenues, sometimes we dont think in earth and we just take what nature offer us but we dont pay her back what we took. It is okay, as I said before, That human need to make life easier, but this is not an excuse to step nature aside, and keep contaminating all around us.

The Earth is the place where we live. All the humanity live here in this planet. However, the treatment given by the human being to the earth is, in someway, something we have to consider. Nowadays, we are getting affected in a negative way by all the changes that the Earth has received thank to the human activity. For the above reasons, i think that the Earth is getting harmed by the human activity and i going t explain it.

The entire planet have been affected by the unconscious manner of acting from the Human being. The Earth had been blessed with an uncountable quantity of natural resources and a sheer environment in which the people enjoy the kindnesses from the whole nature, but the actions from the men had made of all these things, just a reminisce because all these actions have caused pollution, contamination in the water, and other phenomenons as global warming, and also those thnigs affect in a directly way to the humanity itself, for example, with the appearence of new illnesses that maybe decades ago, did not exist. A case which prove the above reason is the sicknesses which children born.

We received a beatiful planet from our parents, but with the industries growing, the rivers have been contaminated by all the garbages they throw to it. we had a bunch of beatiful and pure rivers, but nowadays is almost imposible to find just one as before. All these things are the clear consequences of the human actions in the Earth.

In conclusion, i think the planet is being harmed by the human actions, and we can see this reality right now because their consequences are touchable for everybody. Nevertheless we still can take some measures about this issue and make of this planet a beatiful place where our children can live.
