▶ Your Answer :
Although human beings have lived solving
various problems related to their life, still there are a lot of things that
should be solved. I think that environmental problem is the one of the most
important issues and it cannot be solved in our lifetime. This is because
making pollutant is inevitable for us to maintain our lives.
To begin with, there is technical problem
for solving the problem of environment. In order to maintain the quality of
life, human have to use and consume lots of resources and there are unavoidable
side products which can be a pollutant. Even though much have done to solve it hundred
years ago, humans have not been able to solve it completely because of
technical problems. For example, people have tried to exploit environmental friendly
energy like solar, wind, and the power of tide. However, any of these tries cannot
substitute fossil fuel until now which is harm for air. And, nobody knows when
it can be possible. Therefore, I cast doubts on the statement that environmental
issues can be solved in the near future.
Second, sometimes environment reacts very
slowly to human activities. Compared to other things like the Earth, it can be
said that humans’ life span is really short. Thus, some problems which have a
big scale in terms of time need a long time to be solved. To explain this, I
use a Polar bear as an example. Actually, people used hair spray containing
Chlorofluorocarbon which is harmful for all of creatures in 1950~80 and this was
banned a few decades ago. However, recently many reports say that Polar bear are
still being suffered from Chlorofluorocarbon. That is because this chemical is
carried by the circulation system of the Earth and it is very slow compared to
human’s life span. There are lots of similar problems such as ozone layer
destruction problem. Therefore I cannot sure that environmental problem will be
solved in my entire life.
To conclude, I strongly believe that the
most important problems like environmental problems cannot be solved soon. The
reasons why I think this way is that there is technical problem to solve
environment problem and it can takes lots of time to solve that. |
