Humanity Effects and Nature
We humans have been living on the earth since a very long time for over 200,000 years , until when modern humans started evolving from neathernthals or mostly called cavemen, what we knew then was how to hunt and we didn’t care much about our environment because we rarely made contacts with the environment, But it all changed when humans started evolving into what we are today, curious, inquisitive and always ignorant of our actions ,We have lived on the earth for a long time, past diseases and sicknesses that cause pandemics that are enough to cause our extinction not to talk about the black death plagues or even the age of the Spanish flu ,we use to think we could manipulate the environment in whatever way we can and this pandemic proves we are wrong.
As at the beginning of this year, U.K stepped forward in the fight against climate change and other countries joined to, why would they join? This is because the issue is surfacing slowly in our environment as more specie go into extinction and the temperature is increasing, so they had to think that conserving the environment is the only way to try to still try to conserve what we haven’t destroyed yet, If the earth increases by 30c ,it might not seem as a large increase, it will affect fishes, who need fishes anyway, but the real reason is that it affects the great barrier reefs which provides almost half of the world oxygen as it buffers our deforestation effects, so considering to join the fight might be a good chance, even when it started people didn’t seem to care, instead they blame nature without considering our actions of 200,000 years, Then the pandemic came and so far ,ever since lockdown measures have been put in place the carbon dioxide emission has reduced by a large number since limited movements have been controlled .
The rate of trash dumping and pollution has increased still putting us at the danger of polluting our water sources, we could just fly them to space but that would be a lot of money and waste of time as we will still continue to pollute everywhere. So what other options do we have, and that is climate change campaigns, but what about controlling the climate, sounds good but not good, we can’t control the climate since our studies about the weather have been limited ever since we tried to control the weather and it didn’t work, As humans our curiosity makes us to try new stuffs while also endangering the environment.
Conserving the environment seems like a good plan when concerned with the economic benefits but not good in terms of physical look since no one wants to fight for the environment because we think of the labor we would have to go through to save the environment, is it the extinction we have caused or the resources we have misused, but the renewable energy resource has also been affected as some countries planned to try to attain a renewable energy generated level, with limited movements ,the economic crisis is enough to stop people from trying renewable energy since there are other sectors to spend money on and the energy section will have to be put on hold.
Due to the pandemic, Countries are now looking into the agricultural section and they are trying to conserve their resources as an approach to solve the incoming Economic crisis, something they wouldn’t do in the first place but the pandemic changed things and COVID-19 is now telling us that as far as continue to pollute our environments and misuse resources ,it will always bounce back at us, The pandemic has affected all tourism sectors and thus affecting the economy of some countries, But the benefits of the pandemic far out ways the disadvantages so it might not really have a much bad impact after all but instead of looking at the effects, you should take a piece of paper right now and jot down your plans to save our environment and conserve resources, You never know how your plan will work but it is just a leap of faith ,you have to take.
