The increase in production of consumer goods has resulted in damage of the natural environment. What are the causes of this phenomenon and what are the solutions?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Environment issues have turned out to be one of the most predominate concerns to the human race since the Industry Age. The increase production for the increase needs of our human-kind, however, has great negative influence on the surroundings. This essay will present how the increase affects the nature and what measures can be done to address these problems.
The boost in production of consumer goods mainly affects the environment by two aspects. The most products that we used daily are manufactured by various natural resources. That means the more products are made the more resources are needed and, as a result, the nature tends to be over mined by the human-beings, which is definitely harmful to the environment. Meanwhile the processes of production and consumption will undoubtedly generate numerous discharges such as carbon emission, waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) and domestic garbage. Such continuous discharged waste will therefore cause heavier the environmental burden as a return. Some research institute ever reported that the waste generated in the past decades would cost Earth thousands of years of degradation.
Since growing production would generate serious influence on the environment, certain approaches should be done to reverse this situation. First of all, people could change the consuming style that they are accustomed to. In other words, people should try their best to reuse the goods they behave and thus to lower their demands for new products. By doing this, the production would be reduced accordingly. Another solution is recycling. The materials are recycled at the end of consumption and reused as the alternative resources in the producing period, which will ensure the least resources mined from the nature.
Environment is facing the challenge from the increasing consumption, while it is possible for human-beings to develop sustainably by implementing the methods mentioned above.
