The consumption of the world’s resources (oil and water, etc) is increasing at a dangerous rate. What are causes and pollutions? (approximately 250 words)
The overuse of natural resources is one of the great problems facing humanity these days.
This
phenomenon that involves several problems is derived from different causes normally generated from daily human activities and I believe that various feasible measures are taken to prevent and overcome them.
On the one hand, there are two main reasons for the growing utilization of natural resources. Firstly
, resource consumption at an accelerated rate stems from overpopulation. Population growth could lead to water
depletion due to people's daily needs and the expansion of agriculture to meet people's nutrition. As in the case of India, which is the second
-most populous country
in the world, began to face the worst long-term water
crisis in history, as demand outstripped supply and threatened agricultural production and economic growth since last
year. Secondly
, the development of transportation and technology carries out the generation of different modern vehicles and machinery. Such
inventions are powered typically by energy generated from fossil fuels such
as coal and oil and ultimately cause scarcity of these natural resources. Taking Australia as an illustration, coal burning is the main source of electricity in this
country
and eventually, Australian coal is predicted to run out in around 40 years.
On the other hand
, I believe that many actions have been implemented to help mitigate these issues. For the problem of water
scarcity, many countries have published water
-saving policies and educational water
conservation programs to increase public awareness on this
issue. For example
, the Singapore government is striving to reduce domestic water
consumption to 140 litres per capita by implementing various initiatives and one of them is the water
conservation awareness program. Otherwise
, for the reduction of fossil fuels, humanity is using alternative energy sources, such
as wind, s
olar and nuclear power that they might be a possible solution to the depletion of nonrenewable sources because they are clean energy sources and available in unlimited supply. As an example, United Arab Emirates launched the Arab world's Add an article
a
first
nuclear power plant, which is an attempt to meet the demands of the energy-hungry Gulf state even though this
country
is the world's seventh-largest proven crude oil reserves.
In conclusion, the overexploitation of natural resources is attributed to the strong demand derived from the increase in population and the development of technical utilities, as well as the excessive dependence on these resources, governments and individuals in each country
are working in various methods to properly use and conserve them.Submitted by ngohuongquynh2511 on
