Despite the environmental concerns raised by scientists, people are not changing their lifestyle. Why is this case? What could be done to encourage the people to save the environment?

The environment has become a hot topic of debate these days, and scientists are alarming people regarding the environmental degradation. But, still they are not taking

this

issue seriously and do not bother to change their lifestyle. In

this

essay, the reasons behind

this

mindset, and what could be done to encourage the people to save the environment will be discussed.

First

of all, individuals have become habitual of

this

modern lifestyle as they are comfortable in it.

For instance

, air conditioner, which is one of the sources of free radicals have become a part of daily routine, and

thus

it is a difficult task to leave

this

habit.

Moreover

, they think that they are the ones who are doing it and a single usage would not affect much and

this

misinterpretation has misled the people and

as a result

, affecting our environment in a disastrous manner.

However

, several steps could be taken to raise the environmental awareness among the public. One

such

step is initiating the awareness campaigns and making them realize the importance of clean air and water.

Furthermore

, these programs could help them understand the importance of individual contribution and

also

encourage them to use public transport and bicycles to move around in the city.

Secondly

, compulsory volunteering services

such

as cleaning of the surroundings and planting trees should be started for the individuals at workplaces so that they could individually contribute towards saving our mother nature. In conclusion,

although

people are comfortable in their lifestyles and cannot leave it, it is the responsibility of the government to initiate the environmental programs and alert them about their unintentional contribution towards surroundings and made volunteering compulsory for the individuals.
