Our living environment is being systematically destroyed by man. What measures do you think should be taken to prevent further destruction?
Development activities carry with it environmental damage. Expansion of technology can not be stopped, but development without environmental considerations can cause serious environmental damage. It can affect the quality of our and our children’s life. Actually the Earth is systematically destroyed by us therefore there is urgent need to enlighten people how take care of environment.
There are few problems which solution we can undertake ourselves. Such as expanding air pollution in most of big cities. Large scale increase of private, aged vehicles and poor traffic management system are the main cause of it. One way to deal with this problem is to persuade people to use public transport. In my opinion there are two advantages of this solution. Firstly it is environmentally friendlier; secondly it is cheaper as well.
The other problem is rubbish dump which is generally located in suburban areas. We can take some measures to reduce the amount of rubbish that we dump and increase the amount which are recycled and composted. For example should buy products unpacked or packed in environmental friendly packages, instead those which are wrapped up in throwaway wrappers. It will bring measurable effects of decreasing number of rubbish remained on landfill sites.
Pollution is an external cost, a cost which we should minimize as fully as possible. We should start fight against people who don not understand how necessary it is. I suggest raising price of lifestyle, which is not eco-friendly and in this way irresponsible as well. In conclusion I hope that my solutions help us to live in agreement with nature, on green world does not belong only to us.
