跪求大神用英文翻译下这段话谢谢！不要机器翻译啊。

In recent years, there has been severe air pollution in cities with a high number of private cars, especially in my hometown Beijing. The blue sky and the white clouds I used to see when I was young can seldom be seen nowadays. Due to rapid industrial development, large-scale deforestation is an inevitable consequence to meet the burgeoning demand for energy. In a nutshell, when we are still enjoying to the fullest the benefits of scientific advancements, our environment has been severely damaged. Therefore, in the modern society where scientific development is the central theme, we need to emphasise more on environmental conservation so that we can create a better future for mankind.
