Frankly speaking, both arts and environment are important to human being.

However, if I were the CEO of a company, I would rather give the money to

protect the environment than to support the arts. Because environment

protection is quite urgent and matters the future of our globe, while arts is a

continuous process to improve the quality of life.

 

First of all, environment protection is very urgent. Global warming is becoming

more and more serious. Many spices are dying, the ice in South Pole is melting,

and many rivers are being contaminated. Now it is time for us to do something

to save our earth and our own future.

 

Secondly, environment protection is very important for all, including human

being, plants, animals and the Earth. When I was a little boy, I often played in

the river that is located beside my village. The water was so clean that we could

just drink it directly. There were also many kinds of fishes in the river. It was

such a beautiful place that I often played for a whole day. Now things are

totally different, the water became brown in color due to pollution from

factories, very few fishes can live there. Those small children can never enjoy

the fun that I once did.

 

Thirdly, the art is a continuous process to improve the quality of life, which is

not as urgent as environment protection. In addition, there are many ways by

which funds can be raised for arts, such as exhibitions and auctions of artistic

works. Environment protection needs money more urgently than arts do.

Although both arts and the environment are important, I prefer to give the

money to support environment protection, due to the three reasons mentioned

above.
