QUESTION: 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 opinion.
It is true that the advance of technology is one of the causes of problems about the environment. While some people suggest effective measures to deal with issues by adopting simpler lives, I believe that the benefits of technology could address these problems.
The undoubted effect on the environment makes up the majority of development of machine systems which might be emission fuels in the air. In comparison to the past, when humans did not invent a lot of vehicles such as cars or motorbikes who just commuted by horse corritages or not to build and operate a lot of companies leading to less cut down forests and high quality of air, could protect the nests of breeds of wild animals and remand the lash of flora. But since the higher quality of humans has started, there are a lot of inventions of modern machines and companies which can be a threat to the environment. For instance, the incidents of oil spill of Formosa firms destroyed a burch of fishes in Ha Tinh beach. As a result, not only did fishes harm, but the beach’s air was also strongly polluted.
One the other hand, I would argue that the promotion of technology could resolve environmental issues. Thanks to technology, humans can create machines collecting and disposing of the huge amount of waste in the seabed that was impossible to do before. One of the principal examples is the scheme of littering on the Nha Trang sea in VietNam by using the huge ships that are network operation, will be enforced in the next year.
In conclusion, Although the negative of developing technology impacts on the environment. I believe that effective measures can be organized by using modern technology.
