The majority of individuals understand that it is crucial to take protective actions to solve environmental issues that happen around the planet but only few behave like that. In this essay, I will highlight the factor that causes damages to the environment and put forward potential solutions.
One reason is overconsumption, which leads depletion of resources and environmental destruction. For example, people tend to throw away so-called fast fashion clothing due to the latest fashion trends. In addition, when their appliances suddenly stopped working properly, it is often troublesome to replace the broken part. As a result, more precious resources are required to meet increasing needs; therefore many nations end up destructing mountains and forest, which used to be plant and animal species habitats. A further factor concerns overdependence on fossil fuels. Modern society cannot function without them because most of transportion systems consist of vehicles using oil to obtain its energy to move.
There are several ways for governments and their citizens to minimize environmental problems. Firstly, the govenments ought to provide subsidies with consumers to purchase eco-friendly products, especailly expensive EVs. For instance, in the US and EU citizens can receive govermental support to buy EVs, and as a result they afford to but them at reasonalbe prices, which drastically eliminate CO2 emissions as well as air pollution. However this is not the only action we should take. The general public should learn how to fix the appliance and clean clothes effectively online.
In conclusion, the reason of environmental poblems are mainly overconsumption and overdependence on traditional fuels. The key to tackling the problems depends on the governments’ sufficient support and our motivation to use products as long as we can. If the aforementioned measures would not be taken, we would not be exist in the future.
