At the present, ecosystem suffers from the change of environment and human disturbance including trash and waste from consumer goods.
Therefore
, most people sat that manufacture of goods provides direct damage to the natural environment.
This
essay describes the causes and possible solution to decline
this
impact.
To begin
with, most synthetic material
such
as plastic, nylon, and other polymers cannot be decomposed by scavenger and microorganism in the ecosystem.
Thus
, due to
this
property of the material, some sort of trash
such
as plastic bag and bottle will remain for more than thousand of years.
However
, even if these materials are unable to decompose, it can degrade into smaller pieces called
microplastic
, which can contaminate the soil or air.
Moreover
,
microplastic
can be absorbed by other organisms through the digestive system and blood vessel, which is a major cause of various diseases including cancer in human. According to a survey by WHO, 80% of fishes and sea creatures in the market are polluted with
microplastic
.
As a result
, it transfers to human through consumption.
Additionally
, the
production
of modern products usually releases greenhouse gases
such
as carbon dioxide and CFC that cause severe damages on the ozone layer of the atmosphere.
Hence
, higher
production
lead to higher risk of climate change. As can be seen, there are giant gaps of the ozone layer above industrial areas of China.
On the other hand
, there are several solutions to tackle
this
problem.
First
of all, nowadays, scientists succeeded in developing eco-friendly materials
such
as chitin and pectin made of organic substances.
Therefore
, the governments of some countries
such
as Taiwan encourage people to use
this
sort of material by reducing the
production
cost. At the present, there is a dramatic decline in the amount of
microplastic
contaminated in fish and blood vessel of Taiwanese.
Furthermore
, the government should limit the number greenhouse gases released into the air by factories.
For example
, the Canadian government launched a policy to control the amount of greenhouse gases as well as product manufacturing annually.
To sum up,
although
customer goods provide convenience for people, pathway of
production
and trash are detrimental to the biosphere.
Nevertheless
, individuals can help to solve
this
problem by promoting eco-friendly goods and raising the awareness of its impacts on the environment.
