 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

1. Exploring Environmental Problems and Solutions

The Effects of Deforestation

Tree cover is an essential part of what makes Earth a healthy and prosperous. Home for

people and wildlife but the global stock has fallen and continues to fall dramatically. In

fact, we are still losing 10 billion trees per year.

2. Discussing The Impact of Human Activities on the Environment.

a) Climate Change: Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are causing global

warming and climate change resulting in extreme weather, sea level rise, and threats to

ecological systems.

b) Pollution: Air, water, and soil pollution from industrial, agricultural, and household

wastes threaten human health and ecosystems.

c) Biodiversity Decline: Human activities threaten species with extinction and reduce

biodiversity that is essential for ecosystem balance.

 d) Ecosystem Damage: Human activities cause biodiversity loss and disrupt ecosystem

balance, threatening the survival of certain species and causing wider ecosystem

disruption.

e) Deforestation: Massive deforestation for timber, agriculture and infrastructure

development results in habitat loss, ecosystem destruction and increases the risk of

natural disasters.

f) Plastic Waste Crisis: Overuse of plastics and lack of plastic waste management cause

environmental pollution and serious problems for marine life.

3. Writing a Letter Expressing Concern About an Environmental Issue.

Subject: Concern over Environmental Issues

Greetings,

I’m Budi Cahaya, would like to express my deep concern regarding the current state of

the environment. Through this letter, I would like to voice my concern over the

increasingly noticeable adverse impacts of human activities on the environment.

 In recent years, I have seen an alarming increase in air and water pollution around the

area where I live. Factories that continue to grow around urban areas produce emissions

that are detrimental to the quality of the air we breathe every day. River water that was

once fresh and clear is now polluted by industrial and household waste.

In addition, I am also concerned about the widespread deforestation around this area.

Forests that were once home to a variety of flora and fauna have now been drastically

reduced. This loss of natural habitat is alarming and threatens the survival of species that

depend on this environment.

I am well aware that solutions to these environmental problems are not easy. However, I

am confident that strong and collaborative action from all parties will have a significant

positive impact. I fully support concrete measures to reduce negative impacts on the

environment, such as increased use of renewable energy, more efficient waste

management, and more serious forest conservation.

I am ready to be actively involved in environmental conservation efforts. I hope

Yayasan Peduli Lingkungan can consider concrete measures to keep the environment

healthy and sustainable.

Thank you for your attention and actions to be taken.

Sincerely,

Budi Cahaya
