Humans, the biggest enemy of nature. It is argued that the environment is adversely impacted by the rampant increase of consumer goods production. This essay will discuss the main reasons how the consumers goods affect our surroundings and how these problems can be solved.

There is very little effort put towards the conversation of the natural resources utilized for human consumption. Trees are cut at an increasing rate to get the wood for making houses and furniture, papers, tissues, etc., but insufficient actions are taken to plant trees to replenish the utilized resources. Cutting trees not only results in consumption of natural resources, but it also destroys the habitats of many animals. Animals and birds who lose their habitats, either migrate or died due to lack of favorable environment impact the whole eco system. Some of the animals also become extinct due mass consumption of woods. In a latest study, around 40% of the bird’s species in Pakistan’s norther forest areas are at the brink of extinction due to timber cutting.
To resolve these issues, the first and foremost action is to enact deforestation laws. Limiting the wood extraction from the forest would not only slow the pace of chopping trees, but also help authorities to create plans in conserving the sanctuaries of the animals living in forest. Furthermore, governments across the globe should educate their citizens in protecting their environment by planting more trees. In 2019, Imran Khan, the president of Pakistan ran a billion-tree campaign and completed the milestone within 2 years.
To conclude, we humans are utilizing the earth resources for our own consumption, however, effort need to be made to keep the resources sustainable. Planting trees is one of the best solution to restore and protect our natural environment.

It is widely acknowledged that consumer goods lead to damage to the environment namely soil pollution and global warming. I will provide an example and solution in this essay.

In this modern world, most people have many electronic devices namely smartphones and wireless earphones. With the development of production technology, big companies are trying to release new models as much as they can. As a result, people who are fond of getting the latest devices tend to buy them even though they have already had more than two or three. It means that they begin not using their old devices after all they will throw them away.

Most of the electronic devices consist of many harmful elements. For instance, Batteries are made of lithium and manganese. To decompose these elements it takes enormous time. The government has enforced that electronic devices have to be thrown by a specific recycling system but some individuals do not care about that. As people know, landfills use the way of incinerating, which can result in serious air pollution. They are exposed to the detrimental air and cannot help avoid diseases.

In conclusion, Not only should people be interested in protecting the environment, but many companies should also try taking into account eco-friendly businesses. If companies provide people with upgrades of old devices like changing an appearance or functions, purchases will gradually decrease.

Environment protection is an urgent issue everyone takes charge of it to keep our world away from climate changes and become a better world for people, animals and plant to live. Nowadays, the over-produced product for general public has  negative impacts on our living environment and that  will be an emergent problem we need to tackle. There are a variety of reasons we should analyze and the solutions will be discussed in the essay.


First of all, the overpackaged product will be an striking problem that leds to the destruction of our environment. Due to the overpackaged merchandise including plastic bag, paper box and cushion bubbles,  more useless materials are generated in every product more than its need. This will increase the burdens which our environment cannot afford. Therefore, the legislation form our governments is an urgent action to address it. By the restriction of laws, companies need to reduce the redundant package or they will be fined.


Secondly, the consumerism will be a crucial trend which also play a role in environment damages. 

Recently, people have desire to buy different product they want from daily groceries to luxury product including cars and watches which they want if they have the capability to buy it. However, in some cases, people lacks the awareness of that some goods are not necessary for them, so over-consumering happens and a huge amount of the product are waste. This brings excessive loading to our environment, too.  Therefore, adjustment of the consuming habit will be needed for individuals to cultivate a wise and economic perspectives to purchase only what they need.

Last but not least, the producer also plays a crucial roles in the protection of our environment. If companies just focus on the benefits they earn, they will ignore the responsibility to maintain the environment sustainable and clean, so excessively  non environment-friendly goods will be prodeced. Only if all corporations clearly understand the importance of their role to protect the would, colud the destory of the natural environment be improved. For example, they can invent eco-friendy product and package which will be biodigrediable and nature. In addition, they also support the non-benefit organizations which combat against climate changes.

In conclusion, the rise of the production does harms to our environment which involves multiple reasons. Only the cooperation of governments, companies and every individuals can succeed in solveing the complicated environment issue and all creatures can live  better and longer lives.

It is commonly cited that the deterioration of the natural environment is the conspicuous result of the increasing commodity production. This essay will look into the devastating effects of agricultural development as well as the production of non-degradable packaging and explains how government intervention would mitigate this issue.

In the present, an increasing demand for livestock and crops is a worrying issue associated with overpopulation. In order to cope with this problem, people are putting unremitting effort into land exploitation and deforestation and, hence, neglecting the welfare of the primitive inhabitants such as elephants and tigers. The loss of natural habitats will definitely diminish the biodiversity, as well as damaging the natural landscape. Another compelling reason for the damage to natural environment is the pollution caused by non-degradable product packaging. People often cherish the convenience provided by plastic packaging when purchasing goods on a daily basis, and this thought seems to offset the fact that plastics are actually non-degradable materials. For example, the plastic packaging that has been disposed irresponsibly eventually reaches the ocean floor, which is actually life-threatening for marine creatures.

A series of actions can be done by the local government to combat this issue and the most effective approach would be imposing heavy fine on those irresponsible consumer as well as manufacturers and developers. Additionally, the government should limit the usage of plastic packaging and actively invest in the invention of potential replacements such as carbon-based or other degradable materials.

To conclude, the increased production of plastic packaging and large-scale forest loss contributed to the damage to natural environment  and the government does play an indispensable role in rescuing our mother nature from desolation.
