ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Environmental pollution is a serious problem.  Plenty of cars, buses, industries and factories pollute the environment every day. Global warming is alarmingly increasing. Governments try to solve these problems with no success. This situation needs to change since human beings are destroying their own world. Furthermore, the problem of litter is out of control. Population from all countries throw away many objects. In addition, tonnes of inorganic trash are thrown away every day. It takes almost 150 years for a plastic bag to decompose. So imagine how many plastic bags we throw away and how many years it takes for just one of them to decompose. Air pollution is another serious problem: the ozone layer is being destroyed and that is harming the Earth in many aspects.

In order to solve these problems more measures must be taken. A famous set phrase says “desperate times get desperate measures”. As I see it, no matter if we do not like these measures, we should accept them anyway. We will not see our world destroyed since we will not be on Earth to attend to it. If we could see how life would be when humans run out of petrol and water, we would reconsider it. Due to the fact that natural sources are not endless, we must not waste them. All electric transport must be developed and replaced for those who use fuel. Providing that it takes many years for plastic to decompose, food items must be sold inside of glass jars. Recycling must be compulsory for all populations and those who do not recycle must be fined. Governments are already trying their best in order to minimize environmental pollution and more people are conscious about its danger. The only thing that is up to us is to take care of our planet.
