Does travel harm the environment?

In recent years, with the remarkable

development of economy, great changes have taken

place among people’s living standards. Moreand more

people prefer to relax themselves by travelling.

Nevertheless, with the booming tourist industry, the

extents of environmental damage become more and

more serious. Accordingly, I deem that travel do harm to

our environment in some degree.

Travel does harm our environment in several

aspects as follows. Firstly, it will break the balance

between natural environment and human beings.

Withthe increasing number of people travelling, more

and more places are wild about developing tourist

attraction, which will destroy the natural inner system—check and balance. For instance, the tourism

development and construction can result in severe wash

away of water and soil.Secondly, it will bring about many

pollution problem. Such as the thousands of tons of

garbage, air pollution and water contamination. Withno

awareness of protecting the environment,there are so

many people who are fond of littering and carving casuallywhen they are travelling. What’s more, a great

number of people like to drive everywhere when they

travel, which leads to the serious traffic jam and air

pollution. Thirdly, it will damage the historical culture

heritage. Driven by the extravagant economic profit, the

majority of tourist attraction often load overmuch

tourists which beyond their ability. Moreover, the

traditional culture tend to commerce and stage, which

lose its original meaning.

To sum up, travel has bad impact on our

environment. Therefore, I do contend that all of us

should be aware of the significance of protecting the

environment and put it into our practice in our daily life.

Isincerely hope that we can protect our environment

instead of damaging it. Just don’t let travel become a

sword which harms the environment.
