While some people say that there are lots
of problems related to our lives we cannot solve in this generation, I firmly
believe that we can overcome various problems affecting this society ourselves,
even if the problem is the most critical. For example, air pollution problem,
which should be first-handled by our nations, can be solved in our lifetime.
First, we can decrease the use of current
energy sources like gasoline, which has bad influence on our environment, by
encouraging people to use alternative energy. Since nature resources such as
wind, water, and sun can be perfect clean energy sources, utilizing this energy
will contribute to improve our environment incredibly. For instance, according
to the Seoul National University in South Korea, the amount of air pollution in
Seoul city has halved compared to 5 years ago. The foremost cause of this outcome
was municipal policy of solar energy encouragement. Any residents in Seoul
could be supported to set up the utility of solar energy generator, and this
led the usage of solar energy high. The city's effort made a surprise result on
pollution in Seoul.
Second, stimulating people to use public
transportation can be another way to decrease air pollution problem. Because
public transportation is not convenient than private vehicles, people tend to
use their own cars or motor cycles instead of subway or buses. This tendency
leads the usage of fossil fuels high, and of course, air pollution aggravate.
What if people just take little inconvenience for our nature? Whether someone makes
people do it or they did it on their own, using public transportation can definitely
lessen the pollution level. For example, from last month, gas taxes in our
country increased almost twice than before. It was a policy to clean the air of
the country. Consequently, a lot of people who have own cars stopped to drive
and tried to take buses or subway. Of course, usage of fossil fuel which is
major cause of air pollution has decreased a lot.
To sum up, air pollution problem, one of the most critical problems in this world, could be solved by our nation's
efforts. Considering above cases, I have no doubt that we can always make a good result on things we confront, no
matter what serious and important problems affecting our society is. |
