opinion essay

WE HAVE ALMOST LEARNT TO RESPECT OUR WORLD?

I disagree with the idea that we have almost learnt to respect our world. In my opinion, humans have broken the harmony and the nature of this world.

It is clear that humans cut the trees in the forests, kill animals because they need the meat to eat. However, yhe nourishing chain is like this, but, sometimes humans don't kill to eat, they kill for caprice, and this is very bad, because they eliminate species of the world. Don't forget all the rubbish that the humans have generated for so many years with their factories.

Sometimes I prefer to think about the education of the world. Humans create a new world, technology and science are the most important, and in this world, humans have to learn to survive all the threats, and this is very important.

In conclusion, I would say that the planet isn't very good, because he have some rubbish, and some species are die, but this one is the world of the humans, it is never going to change, unless we try to improve in the future.
