Protecting the envisonment is essential for sustainability of our planet. The majority of people are not sufficiently concerned about environmental matters. I partially accord with the statement and the reasons are articulated in the forthcoming paragraphs.
To begin with, environmental issues are taken care due to global awareness through media which have rised about issues like climate change, deforestation and pollution. Furthermore, initiatives of corporate and government is increased where corporations are adopting green policies due to consumer pressure and governments around the would are enacting laws to encourage eco-friendly behaviour . To cite an example, government has ban the usage of plastic bags for protecting environment and boost sustainable, products.
On the flip-side, even though by implementing several measures people are not concern about environment. Firstly, inconvenience and lifestyle habits where citizens are not able to switch to sustainable practice and may prioritise convenience over environment. Secondly, economic priorities where individuals may focus more on immediate survival needs than long term environmental concerns . last but not Least due to lack of awareness. For instance, educational efforts in some regions may be insufficient, leading to ignorance.
In a nutshell, as it is said that “Action speak louder than words”, while awareness is growing , real change will only happen when more people take strict actions to protect the environment.
