I choose this article because this article very interesting for me. Article taking Responsibility  describe about condition environmental at the moment where at the moment all the world  face global warming problem and global warming problem threaten  future generation in the world and this topic about destroying environmental booming now. Beside that this article can increasing my knowledge about condition environmental at this moment.

The article its about the insanity of the current generation. They use the environmental assets, without any responsibilities. They don’t think about the effects that they’ve made. Eliminate a population of animal, decimating fish populations, clear cutting millions of hectares of rainforest, just for made a profit in their industries. It made an unsustainable of the environmental assets. The players in that partially renewable resource industry clearly have a responsibility to minimize the devastation they cause. It’s also tells us about the non renewable resource based industries, has an even more compelling and specialized obligation.

The writer’s message is the readers, as the current generation, must have a big responsibility with our resources on this planet Earth. Everyone living has the responsibility of leaving the planet in a condition that is acceptable to those who will inherit our environmental assets as well as our planet liabilities. Don’t destroy the environment or the resources with the dangerous actions, like blasting coral reefs with dynamite or pouring cyanide into the waters to catch the fish, just for made a profit for themselves and their industries, because it can decimate fish populations. Those who make a living by taking a species from the sea must also be stewards, responsible for the sustainability and well-being of that spesies, same about those who destroyed the renewable resources.

My personal comments of this article are this article reminds us about we, as the current generation must taking the responsibility with our actions of using the environmental assets for based industries, like the renewable resources and non renewable resources. Don’t do the action that can destroyed them for our next generation. If we, as the current generation increase the harmony of them, this planet will be uncomfortable for those who will inherit them. There are many ways to make forestry a truly sustainable, if we want to make a new industry. Selective logging, restricting the cut to the annual growth rate, and above all, reforestation are all straight forward ways of using land that has already been exploited and avoiding moving into the last few stands of in touched forest in the world. So, let us save the earth for our prosperity, and next generations better future.
