These days, the world has witnessed an alarming increase in the depletion of natural resources such as oil, freshwater, and so on. This essay will first outline underlying causes of this phenomenon, before suggesting some viable measure to mitigate the status quo.
There are two main reasons associated with this phenomenon. The first reason is that resource consumption at an accelerated rate stem from overpopulation, particularly in developing countries. Moreover, industrialization also means a rise in fuel consumption. This is mainly due to fossil fuels play a crucial role in rapid development of worldwide industries. Additionally, alternative to traditional energy resources such as solar and wind power demand an enormous funds and investments from the government or big conglomerates in order to exploit and use them. For example, building a wind electricity project requires a huge amount of money, so this work can only be conducted in developed countries which have economic potential.
Fortunately, there are several measures could be taken to tackle aforementioned problems. Firstly, it is imperative that the government introduces strict regulations and tax industries which are using finite source of energy. Indeed, if stricter regulations were imposed on industries, they will not squander natural resources. Furthermore, the authorities should invest more in research programs for alternate sources of energy. This could be carried out by the government go into scientific research projects on renewable sources which can help humans to reduce energy costs due to old energy sources will be reused. Thus, citizens who have low income still are likely to access and use energy sources.
In conclusion, it is clear that there are various reasons for alarming increase in the world resources, and steps need to be taken by the government and individuals. It can be predicted that with appropriate funding and implementation of these suggested methods, this issue would be alleviated in the future.
