▶ Your Answer :
Nowadays, there are lots of environmental issues such as air pollution, destruction of ecosystem. For these problems, People try to solve these problems (since it is getting more serious). Some people say that people cannot do anything because environmental problems are very complicated. However, I totally disagree with the idea. I think that people are able to solve environmental issues on their own. My point of view can be discussed in two perspectives: people can solve environmental problems using new technology and collected data.
First, lots of technologies that have been developed by researchers can let people solve the environmental problems. In general, modern people have lots of interest in environment with the purpose of making environment more pleasant. So people have developed lots of technologies to handle these environmental matters. For example, two years ago, there was a severe air pollution problem in one region of Korean. The region was an industrial area. All the factories in the region used fossil fuels. And the gas from the factory was emitted from factories directly to the air. Consequently, it polluted other regions neighboring the factories. So people who lived near the factories suffered from respiratory disease. Also, the sky of the region became gray almost all the time. Knowing this problem, the government decided to change the factory system to reduce the air pollution. At that time, Korean technology laboratory invented wind energy. So the government forced factories to made the factory use wind energy instead of fossil fuels. Wind energy was good for the environment of the factory region. It did not emit any harmful gas. So the region could be cleaner than the past. For this experience, I realized that people can do for solving environmental issues.
On top of that, people can handle environmental issues by using gathered data. Actually, all laboratories have lots of information concerning events that happened in the past. So Therefore, by observing/ seeing these data, people can make a provision to environmental issues that are not generated yet. For example, in 2006, according to the Korean Statistical Official, 40% of environmental problems that occurred in the past could be solved by predicting. For example, 2 years ago, when Korea was faced with yellow dust, it was so terrible. The amount of yellow dust was enormous. At that time, people were able to predict it by watching the news (seeing the news 라는 말이 뉴스를 봄으로써 예측이 가능하다는 말이겠죠??)make a provision the severe yellow dust seeing the news. The news was made reported with the data accumulated for 5 years using past 5 years’ data. As a result, people could reduce damage stem from yellow dust by wearing a mask or avoiding outdoor activities. For this experience, I realized that people can control environmental issues by predicting.
In conclusion, I believe that environmental problems can be solved by people. It is because people develop technology for researching environment. Besides, old records are important tool to predict unfortunate events and to lessen harmful effects (methods to handle the problem because it makes people predict unpredictable occurrences).
l 위에서 말한 technology 는 자연을 조사하고 연구하는 기술이 아니라 문제를 해결하는 기술 아니었나요? Research 보다 solving environmental problems 라고 해도 좋겠네요 ^^
