The Earth in Trouble

Our beautiful blue planet,Earth,is in trouble because of our actions.Cutting down trees, pollution,and climate change are hurting it. 26______ It is not merely the right thing to do,but rather it is necessary for our survival.

Some people believe that protecting the environment means sacrificing progress for the economy. 27______ A healthy planet is the basis for a strong economy.Ignoring environmental problems will lead to costly disasters and limited resources later.

28______ Destroying natural habitats (栖息地)disrupts the variety of life on Earth, affecting things like food,clean water,and medicine.Pollution makes people sick and has hidden costs that are heavier than short-term economic gains.

29______ Investing in clean energy creates jobs,develops new technologies,and makes us less dependent on fossil (化石)fuels.Sustainable (可持续的)practices in farming and manufacturing not only protect the environment but help us manage resources better.

Taking care of the environment is about ensuring a future where progress is possible.We cannot keep using Earth without consequences.We need to act now,bravely and together,to heal the wounds we have caused and create a sustainable future for ourselves and future generations. 30______
