The World

The world has been here for billions upon billions of years before human ever existed and we have to co-exist with each other in order for the survival of not only people but Earth and its other species of plants and animals. As humans we have not stopped evolving, changing and finding more efficient ways to live. Although we are all proud and thankful of how things have changed to make things easier we are leaving a large trail of mass destruction to both the environment and the animals that live in our planet.

All choices have consequences an example is people are taking more fish than the ocean can handle. The amount of fish being taken is too great for how fast they can reproduce which is causing many ecosystems to be severely affected. Another example is that farmers are using pesticide to save their plants from bugs but in return the dangerous chemicals are running off into the Great Barrier Reef and killing both precious coral and beautiful fish and marine life.
