Ielts Essay Environment Warning and Remedies 

There is a growing concern that despite the doomsday forecasts about crisis posed by deterioration in the quality of environment by various environmentalists, no one seems to pay any heed. This indifference can be attributed to various reasons; however, the situation can be salvaged with prudent steps.

Human intent to make life better and comfortable, and the greed to prosper rapidly, in every sphere of life – be it farming, industry or even lifestyle –  is taking a toll on the nature. The continued tryst is like a mirage, an indefinite pursuit,  where humans seem to shift the goals forward after every achievement. Many do think about the environment, but  they always tend to assert that after enjoying the exploits of their achievements, they would shift focus to the environment protection measures, but unfortunately that rarely happens. 

On top of that, to add insult to injury, there is a complete absence of affordable alternatives – fuels, raw material and food to name a few, which makes it imperative for people to continue using whatever they have at their disposal. The technologies that have also been developed and could supersede the conventional natural resources are either in rudimentary form, or are extremely expensive to be commercially viable for mass use.

However, it is not too late to act. If governments respond judiciously by making stringent laws to curtail indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources besides promoting and subsidizing non-conventional resources and greener technologies, inhabitants of this planet can be forced, or persuaded to abandon their indifferent attitude and listen to what the mother nature wants them appreciate.

In hindsight, if strongly feel if the human society wakes up to the perils it is facing due to damage their activities are causing to this planet, the future generation might get to live in hospitable conditions.
