Environmental problems such as pollution and climate change affect everyone in the world. Although some effects have been made to solve these problems at a global level, few solutions have been found.
Why have so few global solutions been found to these problems?
How can these problems be solved?
Ecological disasters like permanent changes in weather conditions and various sorts of pollutions have started to take their toll long time ago. Despite all desperate efforts to tackle such concerns globally, oddly enough, not so many solutions have been put into practice.
The reason why small number of solutions have been found to address the key issue lies in two contributing factors the first of which has something to do with people’s lack of awareness regarding such serious threats. To put it simply, a lot of people have neither felt nor been informed about environmental crisis and they have the foggiest idea how formidable the problem is. Take uneducated local poachers who embark on slaughtering endangered species without knowing that the slightest alterations to life cycle can spell major disasters for not only urban but also suburban dwellers.
Moreover, people’s being engaged with more vital issues including economic concerns has made them too preoccupied to care about environmental challenges. Take African nations who have been suffering from malnutrition for decades due to which they cannot even think about the ecological problems as long as their much-needed requirements are not met.
To address the issue, a couple of alternatives can be adopted the most effective of which would be taking appropriate measures to boost energy efficiency to use less energy to get the same—or higher—level of production, service, and comfort. Also, not only relying on green transportation, revving up renewables, phasing out fossil fuel energy but also developing and deploying new low-carbon and zero-carbon technologies as well as ensuring sustainable development can result in curbing pollution to some extent.
To sum up, I personally contend that climate change is and will be an indispensible part of our life as long as people are not fully informed about its drastic consequences. Nevertheless, it is very likely that its negative impacts can be lessened via introducing precautionary measures.
