In your opinion, are longer, healthier lives for more humans worth the sacrifice of an impoverished biosphere? Why or why not?

I am an environmentalist so for me creating human happiness is no excuse to harm our environment. We humans are pretty selfish in many ways as we destroy and harm other living organisms at pretty much no cost. Because of humans, habitats are being destroyed, species extinct, and not to mention the amount of pollution we create. Why should we focus on our great need when other organisms are struggling to survive on their own because of us? It may make us happier but I do not believe we should sacrifice our beautiful planet and it's resources for the extent of our happiness.

Longer and healthier lives for humans aren't worth affecting the biosphere.

Biosphere could be described as the section of the planet where living things exist. This could be described as the section of the earth where life exists, life means all the components that make up the air which is the breadth and how it sustains those who live in them.

These are ways humans have impoverished the biosphere;

-> Emission of carbon gases to the atmosphere through;

- Gas flaring

- Use of kerosene, petrol

- Burning of plastic materials.

Despite these actions are for the benefit of humans in a way, they impoverish the biosphere. Humans can live longer if they want to, and they don't have to harm the environment in order to do so. Doing this affects the sustenance of the earth and reduces the lifespan of other living organisms that aren't humans.
