Mohandas Gandhi once said, “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.” The needs of animals and our world would be fulfilled much more efficiently if humans were not abusing and completely disregarding all of the illustrious accomplishments they have been trying to acquire. With that being said, animals and the planet are a grave part of human’s success and their needs should undoubtedly be put before those of humans.
To begin, it is obvious that the human race could not survive, nevertheless thrive, if animals and the environment did not pave the path that we walk on today. For example, author Jenna Bardroff expresses this in her article, “Humans Would not Exist Without These Five Animals,” when she says, …show more content…
This shows that although bats don’t have the best reputation, they are still vital to human life. Without them, many crops would not have grown to be as plentiful as they are today. Not to mention, this so-called unacceptable species has also benefited our economy. Since pesticides tend to cost generally large amounts of money, the billions of gallons of pesticides used each year could save America millions of dollars. That cost also on top of the crops the bats would be saving. Another piece of evidence that demonstrates the fact that the environment should be put before humans is when Charlie Blatz states in his article, “Animals are used both as a source of energy for the production and transportation of agricultural products, and also as themselves as a source of food and fiber.” (Blatz, 1). Imagine a life without crops? Fibers? Food? Without precious animals and the environment to provide us with those things, we wouldn’t thrive like we are currently doing. We have been so dependent upon all organisms around us. It would be an absolute shame for humans to take advantage of the sustenance they need to live whilst wreaking …show more content…
Some evidence that supports this is on the first page of the article “How Animals Adapt to Polluted Environments”, in which the author, Brittney Borowiec, states that, “The Poecilia Mexicana species complex is composed of multiple independent lineages of fish that have colonized toxic, hydrogen sulfide-rich springs occurring naturally in river drainages in southern Mexico.” (Borowiec, 1). This piece of evidence shows that the animals are even able to adapt to severely polluted areas while humans are the ones that are polluting them, yet the animals on Earth are still able to help the environment while living in harmful areas. Another piece of evidence that supports this idea is on the first page of the article, “How Animals Adapt to Polluted Environments”, by Brittney Borowiec, states that “Compared to animals from clean sites, killifish from polluted areas are far more tolerant of a large class of persistent, toxic compounds like polyaromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyl, and dioxins.” (Borowiec 1). This emphasizes how, despite the negative toxins distributed throughout their habitat, these animals are still able to survive. Yet another piece of evidence that supports the planets’ capability to adapt to human inconsistency is in the article, “How humans are forcing other species to
