I believe that we are slowly killing the environment as we are bulldozing and burning down many of the trees to make way for new industrial or housing developments. Trees help to clean-up our pollution and carbon, they store and purify water, give us medicine that cures our diseases and food that feeds us.

I think we are killing the environment because of how we are taking care of it and treating like for example by removing trees and not leaving seeds under them to regrow.

In my opinion we are indeed killing our environment due to our greed and need to consume materials and supply only the wealthiest of people in our species while destroying others. An example of us killing the environment today could be the deforestation of the amazon rainforest, the dumping of oil into the ocean and the great pacific garbage patch. All of those examples harm the environment, kills ecosystems with hundreds of lives and put animals in risk of endangerment and even extinction but along with that we are slowly killing ourselves as well, with the amount of pollution we produce each year the atmosphere is slowly breaking down causing global warming which we have seen the affects of, fires, floods, ocean levels rising, melting of ice caps etc. So my answer to "Are we killing the environment" is yes.

I believe that humans are destroying the environment by not taking care of the planet. People also most of the time don't throw things in the bin they just throw things like plastic bag and plastic bottle they will go to the sea and they animals will eat it and they will choke on it and die.

The health of the environment is crucial for the survival of all lifeforms on Earth. The environment is the foundation when it comes to maintaining lifeforce for all biotic creatures. As of now, the rate humans are going in terms of deforestation and overall killing the environment via pollution, we are sitting at the top with crowns on our heads. The vast amount of rubbish and carbon dioxide travelling into our oceans and atmosphere is altering the Earth and its climate. Each year the day gets hotter, glaciers and ice caps are melting at a faster rate than usual, and the animals are being vacuumed out of existence. The proof of ''Are we killing the environment?'' is all around us but some have splinters jabbed in their eyes to make them blind from the truth

Our planet has worsened and become destroyed because of many disasters and manmade structures. We have indeed pur profit over need. We have over extinct animals and even poisoned the oceans to a point where it’s difficult to even swim in it. Because we have completely destroyed this planet it has made it a problem for future generations. It is still possible to fix this issue by doing things to help the environment.

It is clear that the environment is being deliberately and consciously harmed by humans. We constantly destroy forests and burn fossil fuels which adds to the severity of climate change. Large corporations are the biggest contributors to this as they prioritise profit over the wellbeing of people and our planet. Additionally, consumerism is prevalent in today's society as so many people are unhappy with their lives and believe material possessions can solve this, which ultimately enables large corporations to keep harming the planet.

Yes, I believe that as human evolution has evolved over time, and have become used to destroying the trees, that is almost equivalent to up to 40 football fields, to provide paper, documents, and money. It shows how people are responsible for the large effects of deforestation, which further lead to the loss of habitats, more extinction to biodiversity which humans are responsible for. The video even talks about how he speaks on behalf of the world and says sorry to the environment for the large destruction humans have caused. He even says "You don't know much about trees do u?" to say how trees are not only a part of the environment but essential to living with, and how they help with medicines and create oxygen so we can breathe fresh air. Thus, goes to show how humans have created more toxic destruction for our own sake, rather than focusing on the importance of the environment, and how it can not only help sustain our lives but help with the lifestyle of other creatures and species.

I believe that we are most definitely killing the environment but it has become such a big part of our daily life that no one notices it anymore or excuses are come up for why we are doing it. We are killing the environment unnecessarily for our own benefit when there are clearly other options available and being developed. The fact that we are leaving our environment the way it is for future generations isn't right and needs to be changed. Instead of the people with the clear power to change things this issue is left up to the young generations to come up with a solution to something that isn't even their problem. Organisations such as ss4c are taking the environmental problem into our own hands because no one else will. This isn't right and needs to be changed.

I think about how badly we’re treating the environment and how we might not have an environment in the future for future generations of children. And how they won’t be able to experience the Earth, soil and trees. The things that we do now can affect our environment immensely.

In My opinion, we are destroying the earth at a rate that is unsustainable. We are destroying it for the desire for wealth. We are cutting up trees, digging up fossil fuels which then emits harmful gases. This is done primarily due to the idea of a capitalist society, which influences people to obtain wealth in ways such as destroying the earth.

Undeniably humans are accountable for harming the environment. As numerous issues such as deforestation, global warming, air pollution, etc contribute to the gradual destruction of the environment. As indicated in the video, human’s greed and in consideration is the main reason the environment is gradually degrading.

We are killing the planet as we are destroying the resources we need for our environment to thrive. The overuse of materials also causes pollution causing rises in global warming and climate change.

The fact is that the human effects of greed and production effect the ecological process, destroying it with deforestation and climate change. Ultimately, the effect in which the human society has on the environment is quite substantial in a negative aspect. - Kye

My thought on the question "Are we killing the environment?" is Yes. I believe that every day our entire society participates in harming the environment not only through everyday actions but through the lack of want to take measures to help save the environment. Actions such as driving cars are causing pollution which harms the environment but I believe that if people were more conscious towards other ways of travel it would be of great help.

I believe that we are killing the environment but through many of us being dependent on it for money we tend to not realise our effects as an individual.
