We as humans depend upon the environment and in some cases the environment depends on us.

It seems counterproductive to knowingly (or unknowingley) neglect the environment, after all it provides us with:

-Food

- Water

- Raw materials

- Space for recreations activities

-Areas of natural beauty

So why would we choose not to protect it?

Neglecting the environment would mean the things we require the environment would be impacted by our activities.

As it stands, the environment that is set to be passed on to the next generation, will be much diminished compared to the environment now, and this will continue diminish for generations to come.
