Scientists have been warning for many years about protecting the environment and we must limit the use of energy in our daily lives. Despite warnings, many people do not do this. What are the reasons for that and how people can be encouraged to take an interest in protecting the environment?
In concurrent times, it is being that a majority of the global
populace ignores the cautions being sounded by the scientists about safeguarding
nature by minimizing the use of power. This essay will elucidate a few reasons
attributing to this propensity and the measures can be taken to avoid such
behavior.
A school of thought
propounds that numerous individuals simply ignore the basic things like
switching off unnecessary lights at homes, turning the engine off while waiting
at the red lights and wasting food, out of their callous attitude since
they are unable to appreciate the consequences of such irresponsible acts on
the environment due to them being completely oblivious of how it is affect the
environment. Moreover, all the companies are becoming highly competitive,
and in order to prosper they are resorting to research and
overproduction, causing air and water pollution as their priority is
profiteering and not protecting the environment and the reluctance of
governments to make fall in line is not helping the cause either.
To overcome this slackness, governments should don the mantle of
educating the public by organizing various campaigns in which they explain the
impact of apathetic attitude towards the plight of the planet and how it will
affect their future. It has become imperative to deploy eco-friendly concepts
like vertical farming so that the produce can be raised without deforestation,
promote products which can be recycled, replace fossil fuels with renewable
ones and other natural products which will work as a saviour for the
surroundings. The authorities should also come down with an iron hand and punish
those who fail to comply with the rules.
overall, the administration should enact environmental
protection strictures and fine those not adhering to the norms laid down to
minimize exploitation of nature.
