Answer:
Environmental degradation is in fact, preventable. How can it be prevented you may ask? Simple, here's my three ways of preventing it. First is to stop deforestation by regulating rules against it, like fines and punishments. Second is to reduce consumption level, like conserving water, saving energy, reusing and recycling old products or materials. Third is to educate, convince others not to do things that could damage the earth; such as throwing trashes in rivers and oceans, deforestation, and burning plastics. A small change can make a big difference overtime, we just have to be consistent.
