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...

Technological development have caused various environmental issues. While many argue that living a simple live could limit environmental problems, I particularly believe that technology is the effective solution to tackle those problems.

Many argue that a life without technology could result in a healthier environment which people would live in a safe place. For example, people who inhabit in an environment with the absence of technology such as a laptop using wireless fidelity lessen the possibility of suffering from cancer. Furthermore, technology normally costumes non-renewable resources which lead to the depletion of natural resources such as deforestation or greenhouse gases affect atmosphere and weather system.

Despite the negatives impact express above, I still agree that technology plays an important role in environmental problem reduction. In fact, thanks to technological progress, there are various measures to prevent factors of environmental degradation. A good example is based on technology, scientists research and innovate a type of modern car is cost effective and well-suited to the environment. Another example is technology creates machine to purify the polluted air or due to advances in emission control technology, the pollution from automobile has reduced.

In conclusion, even though there are some existing deleterious effects of technology on environment, I am still convinced that the advance in technology have contributed to improving the ecosystem.
