Some people believe that preserving the natural environment is crucial, however, most make no effort to do so. Why do you think this is happening? What are some simple actions that could help the environment?

It is commonly believed that preservation of the environment is imperative, yet most people do absolutely nothing to save the

planet

. In

this

essay, I will

first

highlight certain problems which deteriorate our “Mother Earth” and

then

discuss the possible remedies for it.

To begin

with, lack of awareness programmes in schools is the foremost reason why the vast majority of the masses tend to neglect environmental issues. Needless to say, unlike in the developed countries, school pupils of developing countries barely get educated about crucial issues pertaining to habitat.

For instance

, in Pakistan, the school curriculum does not include lessons on the ecosystem.

As a result

, children become negligent and tend to take the environment for granted. If schools had made it mandatory to teach the subjects like, waste management and recycling, young people would grow up with a sense of responsibility towards the preservation of natural resources.

Thus

, local education commissions should take numerous initiatives to include environmental sciences in educational syllabus.

Similarly

, corporations barely demonstrate a sense of commitment towards saving the

planet

from destruction.

For example

, despite the rules and regulations imposed by the government, factories exploit the legal loopholes and dump hazardous waste in the sea.

Similarly

, smoke from industrial chimneys is believed to be the major cause of global warming.

This

is because the companies ignore the long-term effects of

such

actions on our future generations for the sake of some short term gains. If establishments and manufacturers had taken, the detrimental effects of industrial pollution, into consideration,

planet

earth would be cleaner and greener. To conclude,

although

preserving the natural resources is of immense importance, the educational bodies and corporate entities seem ignorant of

this

fact. If the children obtain theoretical and practical knowledge about

this

issue, and companies take responsibility of their waste management procedures, we can save the

planet

from

further

deterioration.
