ESSAY
(Introduction)
We all know that the environment plays a significant role to support life on earth.
However, the environment has been damaged by many factors these days. The
most noticeable problem is air pollution. Its self-recovery is stagnated due to the
lack of green areas. Let’s analyze the problem and find out the best solution for it.
(Problem part)
To talk about the fact of green places in the world today, we can see that the
amount of green trees has decreased dramatically. Deforestation, cutting down
trees illegally, lack of planting new trees,.. and so on. These are some reasons that
green areas now have been decreasing. The World Bank estimates that about 3.9
million square miles of forest have been lost since the beginning of the 20th
century. We’ve all known about the largest deforestation that happened in Australia
in September 2019. The consequence is 512.000 hectares of forest were lost and
led to the disappearance of more than 100 species. The lack of green areas leads to
soil erosion, water cycle disruption, biodiversity losses, and more.
The first and most typical problem is the environment. Plants, trees, and grass
provide wildlife habitat. They provide shelters, places for animals to live, and to
find the food. Lack of green areas means a lack of plants, which are the primary
producers and the consequence is the decrease of oxygen for breathing and
increases harmful gases such as carbon dioxide. Lack of green places leads to
higher air temperature and air pollution, with fewer trees to clean the air and
provide oxygen. Without soil to receive rainfall and filter the water, sewers could
be more and more overloaded, causing flooding as well as water pollution.
The next problem is that the lack of green places affects both the physical and
mental health of humans. People living in places that have less green trees are
likely to have anxiety or depression. In contrast, people who live in green areas are
more likely to be physically active. It leads to the reduction of some diseases such
as asthma, diabetes, or cancer.
Lastly, the lack of green places also affects our economy. When we cut down
trees to build factories to serve the industry, the level of industrial growth will
increase, while we will lack land for agriculture, and agriculture will be affected.
Because of these impacts, we definitely need effective solutions.
(Solution part )
Each individual needs to be responsible for society because we have the
knowledge, understanding of the dangers of the lack of green spaces, so we should
take advantage of the utilized parks and current green space to improve personal
health, become physically active, and improve personal well being. Besides, we
should start and join in community‐shared gardens. Share your knowledge and
educate your neighbors, friends, and family about the benefits of green spaces. In
addition, each individual needs to advocate for more public green spaces. Let's
protect the green environment as we protect the future of mankind.
The government also has a vital role in keeping the green area. Green
renovating events should be held to raise the citizens' awareness and to help
educate them about the value of the environment while also showing them how to
do so correctly. Another action needed to be taken is that the government should
invest part of the budget to help develop environmentalist and conservationist
groups and help fund some of their projects to protect the environment. The
punishment for those who over damage the environment should also be severe.
Deforestation, over hunting and littering are the main cause of the environmental
damages so the punishment needs to be harsh in order to raise the people's
awareness. The last action that can be taken is one of the goals of scientists around
the world: To find an alternate energy source that causes less harm to the
environment. While that goal needs time to reach, something we can do now is find
different ways to commute that reduce greenhouse effect while still suitable to our
lifestyle.
