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

In

this

contemporary era, several environmental issues have emerged

as a result

of the continuous

While

some proponents believe that the most effective solution is to adopt a new and simple

way

of living, opponents have a diverse perspective. I am of the belief that people should become less dependent on modern

technology

if they want to mitigate the environmental dilemma. On one hand, at

this

age, many individuals have become completely dependent on

technology

;

therefore

, using modern alternatives is the most effective method to solve

this

problem.

In other words

, using electrical and hybrid cars rather than conventional vehicles and bicycles can significantly reduce the rate of

pollution

,

as well as

, help numerous individuals to save their time.

This

means that for labourers who work in remote locations saving time is something crucial;

accordingly

, they favour using hybrid cars

instead

of bicycles to reach their destinations faster and decrease the negative impact of vehicle exhaust, simultaneously.

This

can be exemplified by a survey conducted by a group of Iraqi civil society activists who claimed that the level of

air

pollution

has progressively decreased in the northern regions

due to

the use of hybrid cars by taxi drivers.

On the other hand

, a plethora of people believe that changing the

way

of living is the only available remedy to solve the environmental problem. To illustrate, there is a highly increasing level of

air

pollution

in urban areas and the prime culprit is exhaust fumes.

Thus

, if individuals start to use simpler and bio-friendly commuting means

instead

of automobiles, there will be a sharp reduction in the amount of polluted

air

.

As a result

, the percentage of carbon dioxide

along with

its harmful impact on living creatures will decrease.

For instance

, in the Netherlands, after constructing new bicycle lanes to be used by commoners, the rate of

air

pollution

has been reduced in direct proportion. In conclusion,

essay has reiterated the above-mentioned points, I can assume that

although

modern

technology

has significantly changed the

way

of living for many people, it has a detrimental impact on our ecosystem at the same time ;

thus

, adopting a new

way

of living without excessive reliance on

technology

is a critical factor in treating

this

serious problem.
