Environmental Pollution: Burden and Strategies for Control
RESEARCH ESSAY
The more our country develops, the more our life conditions need to be improved. However, the environmental problem is so serious that it causes too much damage for our life, not only in many years ago but also nowadays. Have you ever heard about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch yet? It is twice the size of Texas and floating somewhere between San Francisco and Hawaii. It also has 80% plastic and weighs in at 3.5 million tons. Many attempts have been made to clean them but it seems to be useless. Today, as our global population expands, so too does the amount of trash we produce, the amount of carbon dioxide we exhale and also the temperature of our global. If we continue this way, we will not be able to imagine how terrible all the damages may bring to our lives in the future. Therefore, our government, especially the local level should care more about the environmental problem and global warming and have more solutions as soon as possible.
First of all, why should our government care about the environment and global warming? According to the result of the survey that I just collected, there are 19% of the people who did the survey believe that environment and global warming is the most serious problem today. Additionally, this issue has a close relationship with the Constitution of America. For example, the preamble has six goals of government and according to the fifth goal which is about promoting the general welfare, the government has the responsibility to make sure that everyone can have a better life with many of its benefits. Besides that, environment and global warming is also related to the Amendment IX which is about other rights to people, that means people have the right of living in a clean environment with less trash and pollution. Therefore, our government has to do give and protect these rights for its people as what it says in the Constitution of America. For what we have seen, the environment is polluted
