Concerns of the
Contemporary
World
Başak EZER
Greenhouse gases occur in the atmosphere as a
result of activities such as fossil fuel consumption
and excessive industrial production which lead to
global climate changes. In fact, we are beginning to
see this reality more and more in our daily lives. And
as long as it goes on like this, we are going to face
more challenges. But there is a way to prevent this:
we can re-plan cities to minimize global warming.
First of all, we should plan and reduce the population
in cities. Environmental pollution should be avoided
and green places such as, parks, forests etc. should
be maximized. Also, in transportation, instead of
having personal vehicles, there should be more public
vehicles that can be used by more than one person.
Means of transport should work with electricity
instead of oil. Planes, shouldn’t be preferred for short
distances considering the environmental damage.
The other thing is, water which is the source of life
should be used carefully. Last, consumption should
be reduced. People should not buy unnecessary
things beside their basic needs. In this way,
production and consumption will reduce, so the areas
such as factories and shopping malls will diminish. In
conclusion, if we do all these things, maybe we will
see the future.
