In my opinion, protecting environment is the necessary of human being's life. To be more specific, human only have one earth, we can't live without the environment which being destroyed hardly. If we only prioritize economic by developing industry, neglecting the negativity effect caused in the process of economic prosperous, actually we do harm to ourselves. For example, the air-conditioner help people live in a better temperature the body feels in summer or winter, which also benefit the industry of industrial deign or chemical or some other relevant industry of this product. More and more people will get job due to the development of these industry, such as designing, manufacturing and so on. But the carbon dioxide that release from the air-conditioner will cause the green-house effect, let the global temperature become higher and higher. Thus, it will cause a serious problem in the habitat of the animal and plants all around world, which is also relevant with human's social and living life. All in all, we should protect our environment to build a beautiful co-home for all creatures on the earth.

Revised Essay:
In my opinion, prioritizing environmental protection is essential for the sustainability of human life.
To elaborate, humans have only one Earth to inhabit, and we cannot survive if our environment is severely damaged. If we solely focus on economic growth by expanding industries without considering the negative consequences arising from this pursuit of prosperity, we are ultimately harming ourselves.
For instance, air conditioners provide people with comfortable temperatures during summer and winter months, benefiting various industries such as industrial design and chemical production. The development of these industries creates numerous job opportunities in fields like design and manufacturing. However, the carbon dioxide emissions from air conditioners contribute to the greenhouse effect, causing global temperatures to rise steadily. Consequently, this results in significant problems for animal and plant habitats worldwide, which are intrinsically linked to human society and our quality of life.
In conclusion, it is crucial that we prioritize environmental protection to create a harmonious coexistence for all living beings on Earth. (167 words)
