How to improve the effects of global warming

The article “Global warming threatens millions of species”, written by Shaoni Bhattacharya and published in January 2004, described that species would extinct or deplete and migrate by global warming. This article mentioned that global warming caused many plants and animals to diminish, and the rate of decreasing was so quick that some species might become extinct or be doomed and move to other habitats far away from original ones for surviving. According to the statistical model, there are three kinds of predicted situations of the changing environment. If our environments deteriorate gradually without protection, we will live with a few species or none. In the end of this article, there are several resolutions to control global warming. However, we need cooperation between governments to deal with this world problem, and global warming would be controlled with efficiency and utility.

In recent years, people feel the weather has changed in the whole world, and fall comes later. The situation would be worse as population grows and high technology is developed without seeking ways out. Governments must have power, but people should value the problem seriously as well. Population growth and developed technology are consequential trends in our lives. Accordingly, education, recycling laws and improving high technology would be the key strategies to avoid terrible global warming and to save all possible species.

Because of population growth, we need to teach people what good behaviors to treat our world are. Education can let people understand the consequences of global warming and learn the correct behaviors and attitude to protect the environment. For example, people from Asia should know that chopsticks are made from trees; if they use reuable ones they would be healthier and can protect our environment also. If they use disposable chopsticks every three meals, there would be waste trash every day and they might be damaged by these disposable chopsticks. Because some chopsticks factories have to use chemical to bleach this wood in order to market them. You might eat these chemical substances through every three meals. Actually, people can take carry-on chopsticks with them. Chopsticks are not heavy at all, and not so big to carry on. Many Taiwanese have carry-on chopsticks with them, so that they can save trees and might force the companies to change their market products to reused ones. Telling the story about how the disposable objects harm our bodies and environment can correct our behaviors and attitude, and then let the behavior become a social movement.

Countries should follow the world’s rules to make environmental protective laws and force people to obey. Don’t you think that’s correct? Some countries have forced recycling laws into every family and company and had raised people into correct habits. Many people in these countries would like to sort trash. When they come to other developed counties, which don’t have recycling laws, they can not assort trashes, too, because there is only one trashcan, and they don’t know where the sorted trash can be put. Resources would be exhausted someday if we don’t treasure our resources. For convenience, people like to use disposable substances and throw things into trashcans without thinking. This kind of behavior is not good for our earth. In this event, we know that government’s power is pretty great to protect global environments. That would be the greatest way to preserve our earth and species.

High technology could make our lives easier and create resources for us, if we try to be nice with our environment or our environment might not be nice to human beings and other species. High technology leads our future lives and affects our environments greatly. Many electrical products are developed to satisfy human beings and these products might produce pollution during manufacturing procedures and when people using it, like waste gases, radiation, water and waste materials. Some high technology companies have noticed these problems, and figure out strategies to get command of pollution. For instance, computer materials could be recycled or be created as art creations, and the output energy could be used as electricity. In the higher technology times, people will explore more precious skills to recycle energy and reduce waste.

People are the criminals and species are the victims. The way to love our earth and environment is to change human beings first, not species. In other words, we should try hard to protect our environments individually, like knowing recycling ways and how to reuse disposable things that we use daily. For the upper level, governments and companies have bigger power to preserve resources and lead people to the right way, and they can make laws and produce products with environmentally protective views. As we protect our environment more, we will have natural environment and cute species with us longer.
