Healing Earth's Scars: It's Never Too Late

"It tells how irresponsible logging and industrial pollution gradually created a landscape similar to the surface of the moon, and how the citizens eventually determined to do something about it. (Goodall, P.164)"

The construction for houses and buildings has become a huge issue. People have cut down trees all over to make room for a bigger environment for people to live. It always sounds good to have another mall close or bank but it is destroying many animals homes. We are clearing all the land and there is not much left. People now are starting to realize all the destruction that has been going on to make our living better. People have created plans to somewhat help fix the environment. For every tree loggers cut down they have to plant another one. It is important to keep helping the environment to keep it from being completely gone.

"The pollution of our streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans is one of the more shocking results of the use of chemicals and other damaging agents in agriculture, industry, household products, golf courses, and gardens, since much of the poison is washed into the water. (Goodall, P.165)"

Most products we use outdoors harms the environment. When we clean our cars and the soap goes into the swear drains from trying to keep our golf courses in top condition. The chemicals used to keep gold courses clean is very harmful to lakes and the environment. The household products we use to keep our house clean is very bad for the environment. Keeping crops from the harm of bugs with pesticides destroyes the environment. We need to use more naturally occurring products that are not harmful to keep our environment healthy.

"It was decided from the start that there should be clear distinction between land designated for human use, and land that would be most valuable set aside to ensure, for example, protection of the watershed, soil stability, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity.(Goodall, P.169)"

It is important for the future to keep land set aside and preserved. Nature preserves and major landmarks like Yosemite are important to keep the environment healthy. It is great for the environment and for people to be able to see the beauty of the world. I was lucky enough to visit many national parks and I hope in the future and next generations are still able to witness its beauty.
