 in many parts of the world, but renewable substitutes like solar power are getting popularised at an unprecedented rate in some nations. In my opinion, I fully convinced that developing the

To begin

Therefore

Furthermore

 without pollution.
For instance

Although

 the use of these

such

 dependent on the geographical location.
Nevertheless

Thus

, in order to reduce pollution and establish a sustainable development model, governments should support and encourage the use of renewable
