How the Environment is a Vital Part of our Lives Environmental protection is vital to our survival and our well-being. Ignoring environmental protection is a dangerous move that can ultimately affect everyone on the planet. It is time America (and the world) takes responsibility for protecting and nurturing the planet, rather than systematically destroying ecosystems and the natural world. Environmental protection has its roots in health and well-being, and we should take a cue from that and worry about the health and well-being of the Earth today and in the future.
The environment is a vital part of our lives. The air we breathe, the many items we use every day that depend on natural resources, and our very survival all depends on the environment of planet Earth. As the current worries about global warming clearly indicate, the Earth is fragile, and we can do it irreparable damage by allowing pollution and emissions to grow unchecked. We rely on the atmosphere for the air we breathe, the rivers and streams for our drinking water and fishing, the woodlands for our housing and building, and so many other natural products for our everyday life. Maintaining and protecting the environment just makes sense, because it ensures our own survival. If we do not protect and maintain the environment today, there may not be a tomorrow for our children and our children's children.

Protection against Abuse (deterrence) Deterrence and the legal system The notion of deterrence plays a significant role in the present system.
