environment

The environment is important because the rate of its deteriation is rather fast. Most of the problems that the environment has been having is because of us. Our hurry to progress and become the biggest, and best country in the world has caught up to us, and the consequences of our past and history are now evident in the current climate crisis. In 8th grade I wrote a paper that talked about the infinite growth rate of the human race and whether or not our earth had the carrying capacity to support that growth. Because our technology advances in our rush to progress, we are able to alter our living environment as well as our own longevity. This is part of the reason why our population can become so large. In my research paper I found that it concluded that we must do something different -if we wanted to keep living on this earth- because what we are doing now is destroying it. That's why I wanted to pursue the topic of the enviornment, I wanted to see how the past leads to the current problem, and the different ways we can help and change our enviornment for the better.
