The increase in the production of consumer goods results in damage to the natural environment. What are the causes of this?. What can be done to solve this problem?.

As the

the amount of consumption among the human species only increased. Many argue that

this

is resulting in an ecosystem

that is

becoming increasingly damaged.

Firstly

, I will develop more on the main causes of

this

problem than I will discuss

further

a way to tackle

this

issue by proposing one of several other necessary solutions to

this

problematic situation. One of the problems is that

in the

last

one hundred years the

world

has developed a lot and nowadays with all the advancements in technology it has become cheaper and quicker to produce all types of goods;

such

as clothes, plastic materials, and everyday gadgets.

Secondly

, most people, especially those living in

first

countries can afford to buy almost anything they need to have a comfortable life.

Although

this

sounds like something positive for human livelihood, unfortunately in the long term the consequences of excessive production and waste can be catastrophic for the global environment.

Furthermore

, because of the excessive pollution, we are suffering climate change at a more rapid rate and seeing more severe natural disasters as a consequence. A possible solution for

this

issue would be to make the younger generations more conscious of the consequences of human consumerism and its impact on the planet.

For example

, students could be thought how to take care of nature in their

first

grades of schooling. Another beneficial option would be to take students of all ages to pick up waste in parks and beaches around their community,

therefore

educating not only them but all their families.

As a result

, we would have better-educated generations that in the future will be able to take care of the health of the

world

and possibly reduce or even control the heating of the globe. In summary,

this

critical state that nature is facing today is mainly a consequence of the excessive production of things that end up in landfills. Generally, the fast-paced development of the

world

production of goods, better affordability and unawares ness is the reason for

this

issue to be occurring.

Thus

, what might be an effective solution to prevent

further

damage to the environment would be to focus on educating young kids so they can pass it on to future generations.
