Most people do not care enough about environmental issues. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#people #care
It is certainly true that environmental complications should be taken seriously in order to prevent disasters in the future. Unfortunately,
however
, most societies do not take
this
 threat seriously enough and
this
 is for a number of reasons. The following essay will outline why the majority of
people
 do not care enough about the environment. Perhaps the main reason
people
 do not give the environment much thought is that at the moment it does not affect their daily life.
This
 is because, generally, they cannot see how global warming or pollution is destroying the environment. It is only when a crisis occurs,
such
 as flooding, that
people
 start to consider the reasons behind it.
However
, these are soon forgotten and the situation is once again ignored. Another reason environmental issues are ignored is that
people
 do not know enough about them.
Although
 it is generally understood that recycling helps to save resources,
this
 is perhaps the only step
people
 take to help the situation. Most populations have heard of global warming and pollution, but do not fully understand their implications of them. If they did, sure they would use their car less and try at all costs to save resources more. Many nations
also
 believe that these environmental issues will not impact society for another 50 to 100 years.
Consequently
,
people
 feel these trouble can be dealt with
then
 by future generations. Overall,
therefore
, whilst there may be some society who are fully aware of the environmental problems facing the planet, the majority of the population still do not give them the attention they deserve.
