The Most Pressing Challenge: Excessive Human Activities

My point is similar to Chris’s point. It is true that the rapid increase in population is one of the most pressing challenges facing the global environment because the world has a certain limit on resources that human beings can use. As Chris made a point, reproduction is not a crime, and we just cannot help it. In addition to Chris’s argument, I would like to point out that excessive human activities cause the most pressing challenge. Since the industrial revolution, human beings have innovated and developed technology. Because of high technology, the living conditions became much better than before, but at the same time, human beings ruin the global environment. To improve technology, more exhaustion of carbon dioxide is a must. Excessive use of fossil fuel, gas, and light are some examples. Also, a huge car production causes more exhaustion of carbon dioxide. As the population increases, people drive more cars and it damages the global environment. In addition to the technology development, human beings hurt the environment by cutting trees and polluting because people need more houses due to the increase in population, and we waste unnecessary things a lot. These are just a few examples of excessive human activities that damage the global environment. In short, human beings act selfishly so we should think about how many resources we could use to stop doing excessive human activities. As Bill McKibben argues, we only have a certain resources, so we need to act smartly to live this planet.
