At war with the planet 吕文秋 201009010107 In reading this essay, we find many things familiar because these problems also exist in China. We have already paid heavily for past ignorance or neglect of environmental consequences. It was not until the disastrous flood in 1998 that we realized the importance of afforestation and the serious effect of turning part of the great lakes into farmland. It was not until the dust storms of the recent years that shocked us into seeing the seriousness of desertification. As Commoner puts it, “The human attack on the ecosphere1 has instigated an ecological counterattack.” Having tasted the bitter fruit of “ecological counterattack”, we have made sustainable development a national policy. But we are still far from having attained a new public awareness. This essay will heighten our awareness and help motivate us to become activists in environmental protection. The human race is facing problems which are getting more acute as time goes on. The most serious are shortages of resources, 1生态圈：宇宙中生命能够存在的地区，尤指地球上；生物圈 environmental pollution, and the pressure of population growth. In turn, these problems cause poverty, disease and wars. Some people say that the human race is facing extinction. This is because it is now too late to solve these problems, according to them. They predict that resources will become exhausted sooner or later, that pollution will eventually poison the planet, and that unchecked population growth will cause mass starvation. But others do not agree that mankind is doomed. In the past, the human race has always shown that it has the wisdom to overcome any threat to its survival. In the future, too, mankind will survive by using its wisdom to find a way out of its problems. No matter what we think, we should make efforts to make contributions to protect our environment in daily life. 本文来源：https://www.dywdw.cn/27bb273b3169a4517723a3f1.html
