Presently, natural disasters have been more widespread and more frequent. We catch sights of the battered remains of cities or thousands of terrified refugees after disasters on television screens every day. It is reported that the number of natural disasters around the world rose by 18 percent last year, killing nearly 92,000 people, affecting the lives of 157 million people, and causing hundreds of billions of dollars in economic damage. Natural disasters are becoming very rapidly an increasing threat to development.
Actually, we are responsible for those dreadful disasters. In the name of so-called ‘development’, we human beings do whatever we like to the earth. As a result, natural disasters are here and nature takes its revenge on us.
Not only are natural catastrophes the nature's punishment, but also the alarm bell for human beings. Natural calamities do bring people pain; nevertheless, on the contrary, natural disasters, which have made people become aware that it is high time to wake up and to start to protect our home, urge us to reconsider our behavior toward our mother nature.
We have nowhere to survive but where we are now .In view of the seriousness of these problems, we should do some thing now, or it will be too late.
First and foremost, find new energy to reduce carbon emissions which cause global warming and many other concurrent disasters. Furthermore, only by developing and improving new risk management and disaster prevention systems can we live safely. Finally yet importantly, what we also should do is to enhance popularization of in disaster knowledge among people, by doing this we can reduce the death toll.
From what has been discussed above, we can safely draw the conclusion that with more knowledge about the natural hazards and more attempts to make harmony between humanity and nature, the prospect we are looking forward to will be both bright and encouraging. Therefore, it's right time to start; every single thing we do today is to create a good living environment for us and for our offspring. So, let’s get moving! (责任编辑:英语作文网) |
