Protecting Nature or Protecting the Livelihoods

Since I learned that 95% of global warming is caused by human activities, I feel really disappointed. Of course some amount of the natural areas have to be used by humans to build up livelihoods, but I see that humans damage the nature more than their needs. They are not aware of the fact that we need more plants, more oxygen in order to survive from global warming. Actually, they don't care. It is in human nature. Some people don't even care about these issues. They don't prefer to keep the nature healthy for their future generations. We face the problems that our past generation caused, and if we don't try to fix it like by recycling our future generations will see the problems that we caused. I am not saying that we should protect 100% of nature, but I'm just saying we should protect it as much as we can. The percentage doesn't matter. Every single action will make the future more clean. Living in an healthy world is the future generations' right as well as ours, so first we have to protect the nature for ourselves, than for the future generations. We have to be aware of our responsibilities to our nature. What about the livelihoods such as hospitals? Yes, they do have to exist too, but not by damaging many amount of the nature. Again, we need it more than we need shopping malls, cinemas, football fields, etc.

Great news for the ones who want to contribute to the issue! Tarsus American College Student Council's environmental committee put some recycling boxes around the campus. I hope you will put your wastes in them:) Love all of you.
