Recent research suggests that the levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse
gases
have grown to a dangerous limit and
this
can cause harm to the
population
at large. There are several reasons for
this
rise in the emission of harmful
gases
and I believe there are steps that can be taken to curb
this
problem.
One of the major reasons for
this
issue is the rising
population
. The growth in the
number
of people in a particular region leads to an increase in the demand for services which includes
vehicles
, electricity and other household utilities. The more the
number
of
vehicles
on the road the more will be air pollution.
In addition
, in order to fulfil the requirements for day-to-day utilities for the houses the powerhouses need to burn more coal every day which
further
adds to the emission of
such
gases
in the atmosphere. Even air conditioners release
gases
which destroy the natural defences of our planet which allows for less sunlight to be reflected back into the space
thus
causing
further
increases in the temperature levels.
There are various steps and measures that can be taken to alleviate or minimize
this
issue.
Firstly
, the government can introduce new policies and schemes which can help increase the production of electric
vehicles
. The less
number
of gas emitting transportation on roads the better it is for the environment. Other measures could include the improvement of the public transport network and making the public aware of the advantages of utilizing the same. The government can
also
begin to penalize people using their own personal
vehicles
and
also
add a tax reduction for citizens using buses or sky trains
instead
.
Additionally
, the leaders of every country can pass bills which support the innovations in the utilization of renewable sources of energy for the production of electricity which can help fulfil the demands of the general
population
. In regions where sunlight is abundant, building managers and independent house owners can install solar panels on the rooftops which can easily satisfy the energy needs
as well as
can help add excess power back to the power companies grid. The consumers
as well as
the companies will benefit from
this
and ultimately it will help heal our earth.
To conclude
, there are various factors like increasing
population
, rising demand for utilities, and more
number
of people driving their own
vehicles
which have led to the presence of dangerous levels of harmful
gases
in the atmosphere. Despite
this
, there are solutions available for the same and all it will take is for the governments and the general
population
to come forward and adopt these in their daily lives.
