TOPIC: ISSUE83 - "Government should preserve publicly owned wilderness areas in their natural state, even though these areas are often extremely remote and thus accessible to only a few people."
WORDS: 508 TIME: 0:45:00 DATE: 2006-6-13
提纲
保护野生环境对人们的生理和心理都有利,但可也能以政府多花钱为代价
1。保护环境要花钱,但肯定比其他使用不当的钱要少得多
2。保护环境对身体有利
3。保护环境对心理有利
Whether remote and wild natural areas should be well preserved by government is a hot debate now. I totally agree that we should pay lots of attentions to preserve those regions since a balanced ecosystem will greatly benefit our offspring both physically and psychologically, although as a trade-off, government may be distracted from their current economical and societal development.
Admittedly, to preserve wild natural fields will of course cost a lot of money, which may undermine the balanced government budget, especially developing countries' tight budget. For instance, in order to preserve a primitive forest, government should employ some people as forest polices to prevent illegal disafforestation, buy environmental sensors to detect forest fire at early stage, and utilize man-made rain in a dry season, which all need huge financial support. Nevertheless, the financial aids are undoubtedly much less than the money spent for office of the president, appropriated by corrupted officials, and used to care physcial and psychological disease.
However, we can never neglect the vital importance of wild area preservations by overemphasizing their costs. For the first place, it is the responsibility for our generation to maintain and provide a unpolluted, healthy, and clean environment with a balanced ecosystem, from which our future generations can get huge benefits for their physical health since it is obvious that a destoryed ecosystem under industrial pollutions will ultimately harm human beings physically. Concretely speaking, when most forests are undermined, how will our offspring get enough oxygen to live? When most wild animals and fishes are extinct, how can our future generations maintain our health by eating bred pigs, cattle, and fishes which contains noxious ingredients from the chemical breeding materials? When most rivers are dirty with chemical wastes, how can our successors obtain the water for survival? Even if there are substitution methods of necessary oxygen, foods, and water, everyone can imagine how tired future people will be in endlessly finding replacements from one to another. Otherwise, if wild areas are preserved, future generations will definitely live healthily in an environment with fresh air, unpolluted foods, clear water and so forth.
For the second place, well preserved wild natural regions and landscapes will give human beings a wonderful psychological appreciation that will further prevent psychological disease. For instance, if we travel to the beautiful Zhangjiajie primitive forests after one month's hard working in our company, we can really relax ourselves from endlessly tied and busy working status, by embracing the clean clouds, clear water, green trees and various wild animals. A recent survey from The University of Hong Kong points out that modern people are prone to get diverse psychological illness within huge pressures from job competitions, human relationships and financial status, however, it is also shown that those people who often go sightseeing in wild forests, seasides, rivers, and mountains will significantly reduce the possibility of severe psychological illness from 10.7% of common people to 3.2%. If we don’t have such enjoyable natural landscapes, how will the society of our next generations become when more and more people suffer psychological diseases ?
In sum, we could never emphasize the environment preservation in wild natural areas too much since it will significantly benefit our human beings both physically and psychologically, and it’s worthwhile for government to spend budget on.
