Scientists have been warning for many years about protecting the environment and that people must limit the use of energy in their daily lives. Despite warnings, many people do not do so. What are the reasons for this and how can people be encouraged to protect the environment?

The population of the world is continuously increasing, and in order to cater for the requirement, more and more resources are being consumed. Even after incessant warnings about climate change and protecting the

environment

, there has been hardly any change in society.

This

essay intends to shed light on the reasons behind the usage of resources along with the preventive measures in order to curb the consumption.

To begin

with, one of the predominant reasons for the over-utilization of energy is luxury. Lately, the reliance between people and technology has quadrupled over the years. Since, according to the research, 92% of America's population owns a car.

Consequently

, these automobiles emit harmful gasses that deplete the

environment

.

Moreover

, the luxury of completing a task within minutes is enough to excuse for human beings to rely on electronic products, irrespective of their implications. To cite an example, we all use microwaves to warm our food,

instead

of conventional gas stoves. As every lock has its key,

similarly

, every problem comes with a solution. The pertinent measure that should be implemented is the restriction on the number of automobiles that can be owned by a single-family.

As a result

, the petrol and diesel consuming

cars

would dry out on the roads, and

hence

, the

environment

would notice the change.

In addition

to

this

, electric

cars

should be made cheaper and more charging stations should be developed across the city.

This

would encourage people to buy these

cars

. To conclude, several acclaimed activists have voiced their opinion to take preventive measures because the

environment

is depleted swiftly by automobiles and household electronic devices. In order to curb the usage, electric

cars

should be promoted, and individual realization is critical.
