Recently, our class had a heated discussion about the topic of environmental pollution.There is no denying that this problem may boil down to the fact that humans are too greedy.To meet their demands for more money, trees have been cut down in large quantities.Besides,the number of wild animals is also on the decrease because of illegal hunting.It is predicted that if such things continue happening,the ecological system will be threatened.Apparently, it is urgent that the government should take some practical measures to prohibit people from destroying our environment.To conclude,we can never develop our economy at the expense of the environment.
