Evaluation for Question #8778

Environmental issues such as pollution have become a major concern in recent years. It is claimed that the transportation of goods and passengers are the main and obvious reasons, while many think that the government should be responsible for this problem. From my perspective, I strongly believe that both individuals and politicians should be in charge of this phenomenon.

On the one hand, human activities such as transportation of products and people can lead to many consequences. Firstly, the emission from a large number of vehicles is the reason that can be clearly seen. Most of the vehicles such as cars, motorbikes or trucks release to the environment an amount of carbon dioxide, which is one of the most popular pollutants resulting in air pollution. For example, Hanoi city is the most contaminated city in the world with the worst air quality, increasing more health problems to residents. Secondly, transportation of goods has destroyed the sea because of many accidents caused by humans. According to the New York Times, more than 35% of the sea in the 21st century has spread oil into the sea, adversely affecting aquamarine and biodiversity. These faults lead to the run out of underwater animals, and people have to face up with large amounts of contaminants around them.

On the other hand, the government do not take properly responsibility to pollution. The politicians do not implement strict environmental laws for businesses. Most companies now freely release untreated waste to the sea or rivers, this can damage the underwater habitats and also strongly impact on households near industrial areas. In fact, the sea around the world now contains amount of garbage from human activities, and some villages using beaches to improve tourism have to deal with this issues. Additionally, the government do not develop a campaign to spread the awareness of environmental issues. The lack of information about pollution make individuals do not acknowledge about how is the environment be; Therefore, they can not take action immediately to prevent pollution from individuals’ actions.

To sum up, I claim that not only individuals and also the government are worsening the environment day by day. Humans should be aware that their activities can cause lots of environmental problems, while the government should publish more strict environmental laws to limit the human’s effect, and give information about pollution to residents to tackle this phenomenon.
