Persuasive Essay: Ensuring a sustainable future

          There can be tons of ways recommended for a sustainable future, but most of them are limited for large companies and government. However, for a more probable and fast solution, enlightening the people the need for a change in their living habits can be useful. Accordingly, people can preserve the environment themselves through little actions. Accepting inconvenience and raising awareness of the problem can be a way for our sustainble future.

 

          The first action a citizen can do is to accept inconvenience and think once more before acting out. Annually, the use of one-way cups, shopping bags, wrapping papers, diapers is keep increasing. For instance, the consumption of one-way diapers reached six hundred million in 2014. The time spent for these diapers to decompose is 100 years in total. Other than that, people prefer to drive personal vehicles rather than using public transportation. Few of the citizens realizes the importance of daily trifles for the environemnt, and most of them are worried of heavier bags, time spent every moring getting to bus, subway stations.

 

           Another way for a sustainable future that a citizen can do is to raise intrest in environmental problems. In fact, all the citizens do know that they should each protect the environment, but few of them realizes how serious our Earth can be in our near future. For instance, the great increment of  burning fossil fuel resulted in 25% growth in carbon dioxide density. Also, there is an estimate of 1.5 to 4.5 increase in the Green house effect in 2030. This closely relates to the higher average sea level of 20 to 140cm in the same year. Ecologists predict that in our near future, supposing no changes in our enviornment, definitely more people will get a disease.

            As a normal citizen, it is hard to think about the environment deeply. We believe the environmentalists are there for us keeping the Earth from being destroyed. However, environmental problems are keep chasing our lives. Among various ways for sustainability of Earth, small changes from citizens can mke a big difference. Accepting iconvenience and showing interest about our environmental issues can be small but have an enormous effect.
