World population has increased greatly over the
last
Linking Words
few decades and industrialization has posed a major threat to wild species these days. While some argue that
this
Linking Words
trend cannot be stopped, others, including myself, believe that we still have time to tackle the issue. People who hold the opinion that we should accept the current situation base their argument for several reasons.
To begin
Linking Words
with, many places with serious environmental problems are already not suitable for some species to survive.
For example
Linking Words
, many wild animals lost their habitat because of deforestation and both water and air pollution brought by industrialization, especially in some developing countries. It is simply impractical to shut down these factories as some local governments give top priority to economic development.
In addition
Linking Words
, some problems are too complicated to be solved in a short period of time. Global warming is one of them. Some marine lives,
for instance
Linking Words
, are dying out because of increased temperature and there is nothing we can do to make a quick change.
However
Linking Words
, others believe that governments and individuals can still make efforts to save wild lives. Governments could introduce environmental laws to force factories to reduce carbon dioxide emissions that lead to global warming, and they can
also
Linking Words
impose green taxes on drivers to encourage people to drive less.
As a result
Linking Words
, less greenhouse gas emission from both factories and car use will lead to a better environment for both human and wild species. As for individuals, we can
also
Linking Words
limit our contribution to environmental damage by becoming more energy efficient.
For instance
Linking Words
, if paperless offices were widely encouraged and adopted,
then
Linking Words
there would be less demand for wood, and
thus
Linking Words
helping to curb deforestation and better protect wild habitats. To conclude, In my opinion, saving wild animals and plants can be quite challenging and will not be an easy task, but we still have time to take measures to change the situation. With the joint efforts of governments and individuals, environmental issues are likely to be at least mitigated.
