Nowadays, humans impact the physical environment in many ways leading to alarming contamination of the Earth so
people
 need to act responsibly to reduce the damage we are doing to the Earth. The issue stems from several causes to which several solutions will be proposed by
governments
 and each other in
this
 essay. The predominant factor resulting in increasing environmental problems is a great quantity of
waste
 from human’s daily activities
such
 as production, business, services, living, and other activities.
People
 are creating more
waste
 than ever before
due to
 the proliferation of populations, leading to contamination and the
pollution
 of the Earth, rivers, and oceans. Another worthy cause is air
pollution
. Most air
pollution
 which is not natural comes from burning fossil fuels
such
 as coal, oil, gas emissions from factories, and exhaust fumes from vehicles
people
use
 every day.
This
pollution
 is harmful in high concentrations, or amounts that cause
pollution
 of the environment. There are potential ways that
governments
 should adopt to address
this
 problem.
Firstly
,
governments
 should enforce strict policies and regulations to control the release of hazardous
waste
 from industry.
Secondly
, they should raise awareness of
people
 about environmental issues and give some solutions to
people
 followed. It is undeniable that each person can play an important role in protecting the environment.
Instead
 of driving or using personal transportation,
people
 can
use
 public transportation
such
 as trains, buses, and bicycles when
people
 go to school or to work to curtail CO2 release.
Moreover
,
people
 can act on the Three R rules including Reuse, Reduce and Recycle to reduce the amount of
waste
 generated.
For example
,
people
use
 are recommended to
use
 usable paper bags when going shopping or going to the supermarkets to cut down on plastic bag consumption. In conclusion, various cases lead to environmental issues so
governments
 and civilians both share equal responsibility over
this
 issue to fight for the health of our planet

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
