Moreover

while

rainforests produce oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide and stabilise the Earth’s climate. Another issue is that the established manufacturing industries in certain countries have a huge contribution to the tax revenue and even provide more job opportunities and better salaries. If we close these factories since they cause pollution to the environment, it will damage the local tax which should be spent on education, healthcare, infrastructure, and security, among other areas. These public services are vital for a developing country to function properly.

to tackle these problems. For one thing, governments could certainly make more effort to reduce air pollution.

For example

, they could introduce laws to limit emissions from factories or to force companies to use renewable energy from solar, wind or water power.

Besides

, they could

impose ‘green taxes’ on drivers and airline companies. In

this

way, people would be encouraged to use public transport and to take fewer flights abroad,

reducing emissions. On top of that, individuals can take public transport rather than drive, choose products with less packaging, and recycle as much as possible. In conclusion, both national governments and individuals could certainly implement a range of measures to combat the effectless of looking after the environment.
