▶ Your Answer :
A large number of people might argue that most problems that has influenced on society will not be alleviated during my life time. Contrary to popular belief, I strongly believe that these matters can be handled until my lifespan in two aspects: pollution and energy.
To begin with, the environmental problems can be alleviated by using public transportation. Taking public transportation will play a significant role in reducing air pollution. Increased use of mass transportation can reduce the number of car drivers as well as decrease automobile emissions. When governments and individuals take responsibility and actions to decrease activities related to gas emissions, they can solve one of the biggest problems that has impact on our society. For example, Pittsburgh, a city in the United States, made public transportation free in order to promote clean air in the downtown area in the late 20th century. Individuals happily participated because not only was it free, but also they knew it was for the environment. As a result, there was an increase in people who take buses and the subway instead of driving their own cars. This contributed to a reduction in air pollution, creating less air pollution.
In addition, utilizing alternative energy sources can solve the environmental issues’ which are highly effect on society. This is due to the fact that it can overcome today's energy crisis. When governments and individuals increase the use of alternative energy sources such as renewable sources, they can depend less on traditional energy sources, such as fossil fuels. Moreover, people will no longer rely on fossil fuels which are running out and thus expensive. For instance, when I was in fifth grade, my father decided to install a solar water heater. The cost of the installation was high, but it was fully offset by government tax breaks on eco-friendly energy. Moreover, we are able to save cost that could have been wasted on the maintenance cost coming from using every month. In the long run, using solar energy allowed us to save money and the environment
In brief, although it seems impossible for people to solve most problems during their lifespan, people can settle matters for the reasons I have been mentioned above. |
