Oops, sorry for that. Didn't bother checking your profile so I just assumed you were a guy.
You say we should "study life." From the sounds of it, you're describing ecology, which is already being studied. Hell, I've got a friend going to Michigan State right now working on his PhD in ecology.
We're working on ways to decrease pollution and waste every day. That's what the EPA is there for, and we're polluting far less now than we did in the past because of it.
Viruses aren't evolving just to fight us. They're evolving naturally and randomly. Whether or not we try to fight infections with vaccines and other forms of treatment, we'll still be able to find more strains of the flu. And as for "going so deep into trying to understand how to extract molecules and create other shit that we dont really need," I'm not sure what you're talking about. That's too general a subject.
but i mean we still are polluting right? like..all the highways..and the cars..and factories
and wheni mean study life yeah i basically mean ecology...but like i also mean biology..life sciences, and hey , viruses arent even alive! so how do they just do that
umm what i meant about that is that we havent actually discovered any medical plants right? it was all discovered way before us, people knew how to use these plants without knowing how they work, they just knew that these plants worked
i'm basically just saying like, why should we know how things work? why cant we just find things that work? i mean i understand that it's good to know how things work, but then to recreate them using chemicals? why do we need to do that? if we just paid more attention to things in nature and less on how to make a copy of it then we'd be better off, my prof said that there are much fewer people who do these kinds of things now, and i find it so depressing, like...we should work more on discovering things in nature, than on creating synthetic things

i read the first 10 lines..
in most classes there is a requirement for essay length, be it word or page, and it leads to crap like this.
good writing = succinct
sorry for the lack of constructive criticism
okay so FUCK lol my writing is shit. i get itttttttttttttt.
but i was just basically writing what i'd be saying..you know? like i write how i speak, unless i actually had to write a paper, then i'd actually spend my time working on good format
so for those people who keep ripping on my grammar/construction FUCCKKK I DONT CAREEEEEEEEEE
