We only have one earth. If we don't take good care of it, future babies will not be able to live, and even our lives will be in danger.

Increasing garbage, rising sea levels, air pollution, and animals having no place to live. These issues have been the subject of concern in recent years. Will the humans be the final winner? I don't think so. it may be self-defeating, Everything we create will even ruin us.

Most of Taiwan’s electricity sources are coal-fired power generation. Because this method of power generation requires not only a large amount of logging but also a lot of air pollution. Therefore, the Taiwan government decided to build a natural gas receiving station so that the residents of Taiwan can have a better living environment.

This method of power generation is more environmentally friendly than thermal power generation. However, the Taoyuan Port, which the government decided to build, has many algae reefs. There is much marine life in the algae reefs, and it is only an excessive energy source, so many people oppose this decision.

Is it really a good decision to build a natural gas terminal? I don't think so. I think human beings are selfish. The more we have, we want more. This time we have a natural gas terminal. What about next time? We should not let our hands be stained with blood. For the sake of future babies and the earth, please take good care of the earth.

地球就只有一個，我們再不好好愛護的話，下一代就沒辦法居住了，甚至我們也會有生命危險。

垃圾變多，海平面上升，空氣污染，動物沒有地方住，這些議題是近年來一直備受關注的議題。生活在食物鏈頂層的人類，會是最後贏家嗎？不會，可能還會自取滅亡，我們造就的一切，甚至還會毀了我們。

台灣大部分的電力來源都是燃煤發電，因為這種方式發電，不僅需要砍伐大量的樹木，空氣污染的程度也不少，所以台灣政府決定要蓋天然氣接收站，讓台灣的居民擁有更好的生活環境。

這種發電方式相比火力發電更加的環保，但是政府決定蓋在的桃園港口，擁有許多的藻礁，藻礁裡面居住著許多海洋生物，而且只是個過渡能源，所以許多人反對這個決定。

蓋天然氣接收站真的是一個好決定嗎？我並不這麼認為，我覺得人類是自私的，我們擁有越多就會想要更多，這次有了天然氣接收站，那下一次呢？我們不應該讓我們的手沾滿血。為了後代，也為了地球，請好好的愛護地球吧。
