Write an essay to describe the earth.

Our Earth

In a billion galaxies, the Milky Way is but one and in a million stars in the Milky Way, our sun is but one medium sized star and around this star are nine planets. From these nine planets, there is only one — at least to the best of our knowledge up to this time — which is inhabited by intelligent life. And that is our planet Earth.

It is estimated that the earth is two billion years old and that it is like a battered old lady who has seen much hardship. The hardship that the earth has faced is mainly with regard to keeping its many creatures alive. Though it is true that thousands of lives had been wiped out through natural means and evolution, the earth itself had never faced as much danger as now, of being made uninhabitable. The instrument in doing so much harm is supposed to be earth’s smartest creature — man.

Especially since the advent of the industrial revolution, man has done a lot to offset the delicate balance of nature. The indiscriminate clearing of forests have rid the earth permanently of a whole lot of creatures and plants. Man is also being made to pay for this oversight. The destruction of trees means less agents for converting carbon dioxide into oxygen for breathing and the addition of more factories means more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It looks as if we are in a trap of our own making.

Then also there is the problem of the hole in the ozone layer. The production of hydrocarbons has resulted in the neutralization of the ozone from the ozone layer into oxygen. Over the years it has created a hole, which now lets in harmful rays from the sun. We now face the danger of increased radiation, unless we are smart enough to undo the harm we have been doing to our home planet.

Perhaps all the harm that we have done will teach us a lesson and we will learn to love earth more. Perhaps too, this will stop all the harm that we are doing to it.
