Modern technology has a great impact on our environment. Some say that people should adopt a simple lifestyle to solve this problem, while others argue that the technology itself should provide a solution. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Technology

has helped humankind immensely in different aspects of life, taking care of the smallest and biggest detail there is.

On the other hand

, exploiting

to find a solution for the

environment

is a promising idea. Distinct technological solutions can be offered for many environmental problems

such

as carbon dioxide emission from cars. It can provide another green alternative that could allow a better fuel combustion causing less harmful gas emission.

Consequently

, utilizing

technology

can be used in every other aspect to make the

environment

better. In conclusion, two opposite
