Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The more we degrade the Earth, the more we turn a blind eye to the facts, the worst off mankind is. Future generations will realize this, and they will wonder why we didn't take action sooner.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. What is good for the environment is good for our health.

Explanation:

The preservation of nature and natural resources is directly related to our health. We need a preserved and healthy environment that provides quality natural resources that provide improvements to our health, such as food, oxygen, water, among others.

It is easy to see that this equation (exploitation of natural resources = economic and technological development = quality of life) has not been true. This is because nature's resources are being exploited in a predatory manner, causing serious damage to the environment and negatively reflecting on man's own condition of life and health.  Man's quest for a better life is bringing him disease, social problems and compromising his future on earth, as his actions are highly degrading.
