Explain some of the ways in which humans are damaging the environment. What can governments do to address these problems? What can individual people do?

Environmental

damage

is a rising concern across the globe. There are several reasons leading to

this

damage

such

as

people

living patterns and behaviours. The

government

and

people

can take precautionary actions in a collaborative way to avoid

this

phenomenon. In

this

essay, I will discuss the ways that are causing

this

destruction

and the possible solutions that can be implemented by the governments and adopted by citizens respectively.

First

of all, there are two important factors causing

this

damage

.

Usage

of

plastic

is the

first

and foremost factor leading to the majority of the

damage

. The UK,

for example

, is generating 4 tonnes of

plastic

wastage per annum causing soil and water contamination. Adding to

this

, the

second

largest problem is increased fossil fuel consumption by vehicles, which is leading to toxic emissions into the atmosphere. The hot air fumes,

for instance

, produced by vehicles across the globe are damaging the Ozone layer to allow the ultra-violet rays onto the earth. The

government

can improve the infrastructure to reduce the impact of global warming.

Plastic

waste can be reused by installing waste recycling stations at multiple places. Apart from

this

, enhancing public transportation facilities in every nook and corner of towns and cities will decrease the

usage

of personal vehicles which

consequently

reduces toxic gas emissions.

Thus

, the

government

can take necessary actions to eradicate nature

destruction

with proper planning. Having said that,

people

contribution is

also

an equal and important aspect to consider to address

this

problem. On priority, citizens should adopt the culture of banning

plastic

bags

usage

during the day to day operations, which eventually saves the earth from soil and water contamination up to 40%. The non-biodegradable nature of

plastic

is one of the top reasons behind nature

destruction

. In conclusion, While humans are causing environmental

destruction

in many ways, the

government

and

people

can take remedial actions to eradicate them. Vehicle and

plastic

pollution can be addressed by improving infrastructure among cities by the authorities and

also

the individual's can take responsibility to adopt the alternative material

usage

instead

of

plastic

will reduce the

damage

to a greater extent.
