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

this

catastrophe

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

loss 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

harm.

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 governments can take the initiative to address these problems from the roots. The public authorities can build the required infrastructure to reduce the impact of global warming.

Plastic

waste,

for example

, 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, the individual family contribution is

also

an equal and important aspect to address

this

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

plastic

bags

usage

during the day to day operations. Indian people adoption of

plastic

ban post the Covid pandemic is the best example to show the benefits of

this

culture, which eventually saved India 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 public 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.
