Natural Environment

In today’s world, our natural environment is changing rapidly due to human activity. Our environment could turn disastrous if it is not well taken care of. Floods, landslides, droughts and earthquakes are most common to us now, it almost happen everywhere in the world and unstoppable. The water, air and land are partly poisoned by chemical wastes and are hazardous to human and not to forget, plants and animals are becoming endangered and extinct because of deforestation. We, as human have contributed to such disasters due to chasing or improving the standard of living and have neglected the mother earth. We should be responsible for the act that we have done to the environment.

Economic development may be refer as the transition of adopting new technologies from the agricultural based to industrial based economy in order to improve the standard living of humans. Economic development may reduce poverty and bring more choices and jobs to humans but without a proper planning of economic development, it would contribute to a more serious problem such as pollutions and depletion of non-renewable resources and ozone layer as what we are facing right now. Technology have changed the way we live today and making our life easier and more efficient but more technologies advancement mean more energy is consumed. For example, to keep a production plant running, energy is needed so as fuel is used as the source of those machineries. In addition fuels cause pollution and in turn create safety issues for the employees working in the production plant. Technology get better day by day and organizations have the desire to have the latest and best technology to help in the production process but this cost a fortune. This eventually adds up to the cost of the goods sold and passed down to the consumers.
