Developments in technology have brought various environmental problems. Some people believe that people need to live simpler lives to solve environmental problems. Other, however, technology is the way to solve these problems. Discuss both views

It is clear that

the advances in modern inventions have certainly led to a number of environmental issues.

While

some are of the opinion that individuals ought to have moderate lives to tackle environmental challenges, others claim that

technology

is the answer to these predicaments. In my opinion, I consider that

technology

can be a blessing for everyone including the environment. On the one hand,

according to

some,

technology

is the reason why the

world

is suffering from environmental dilemmas. One obvious reason is that with the development of

technology

, the quality of air in some areas has dropped significantly.

In other words

, they emit greenhouse gasses which can bring about the greenhouse effect. In

this

case, air will be polluted and eventually, it will lead to global warming. In some developed countries,

such

as America,

for example

, the number of people who put on masks when they are out has increased because of carbon emissions from cars.

On the other hand

, some people claim that with the development of

technology

, the

world

will be a safer place for everyone including animals and plants, and I agree.

This

is because

technology

has revolutionized the way things are operated.

That is

to say, most companies these days use environmentally friendly machines to run the companies well.

For instance

, in some countries, renewable energy

such

as solar systems is used to operate most machinery.

This

not only helps to conserve energy but at the same time,

also

helps in producing a cleaner environment because fossil fuels namely diesel is not used.

Moreover

, with

technology

, we can measure the quality of the air and water in specific areas, and effective measures can be taken if problems are detected.

To sum up

,

although

people may vary in their opinions, I think the development of

technology

has greatly helped the

world

to conserve energy which eventually reduces the pollution rate. If more

technology

were invented based on the green concept, the

world

would not face environmental issues.
