▶ Topic : Because environmental issues are very complex, individuals can do nothing about them on their own | |

▶ Your Answer :
Nowadays, there are lots of environmental issues such as air pollution, destruction of ecosystem. For these problems, people try to solve these. 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 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 directly to the air. Consequently, it polluted other region neighboring the factories. So people who lived near the factory 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 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 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 seeing these data, people can make a provision to environmental issues that are not generated. 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 make a provision the severe yellow dust seeing the news. The news was made 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 methods to handle the problem because it makes people predict unpredictable occurrences.
