The key to solving environmental problem is present generation are willing to accept a less comfortable life for the sake of the future generation.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent times, our planet has been plagued by numerous environmental issues,

such

as rampant pollution and global warming. Some believe that the best way to remedy

this

is for the current

generation

to sacrifice their comfortable life for future generations’ advantage. In my opinion, while changes must certainly be made to current lifestyles to save the

environment

,

this

may not require the people today to live a less comfortable life. Recent government policies and actions have made it easy for the current

generation

to make

lifestyle

changes that would benefit the

environment

at no significant burden to them.

For example

, many governments have improved the mass transportation options available

and kept the rates low. People today can opt to reduce their carbon footprint and reduce environmental pollution by not using cars to travel, and relying

on public transport

as trains and buses. In fact,

costs from not having to maintain their individual cars, save time from not having to battle traffic jams as well as making a significant positive impact to the

environment

.

In addition

, progress in technology and products available

make it easy for the present

generation

to save the

environment

at no significant cost to them.

For example

, new biodegradable plastics have recently been invented to replace old plastics that pollute the

and have been adopted by manufacturers of

plastic bags at no additional cost. The end product of these new materials functions in exactly the same fashion as the older items. As

, the present consumer would not be disadvantaged by the change made whilst still managing to contribute to protecting the

environment

. In conclusion, whilst I believe that the present

generation

needs to make

lifestyle

changes to reduce environmental issues, I strongly disagree that these changes will be a burden to the present

generation

This

is because governmental policies and actions, as well as technological advances
