Comparison and Contrast

A term often used for people who are deeply concerned with the environment is “green.” The attitude toward consumption of a “green” person’s and that of a person who is not “green” have both differences and similarities.
When they both come across some environment problems, they will both feel uncomfortable and complain about it. However, a “green ” person will take some measure to try to protect the environment, even what he can do will make only a little sense; while the person who is not will look down upon those tiny, tiny efforts and continue complaining.
Those two persons are both concerning about the environment, because they know they need clean living condition. They both consider environment problem a serious issue while the former one thinks it is everyone’s duty to care about the environment and the latter one thinks it is only other’s responsibility to do so.
To sum up, the reason why they hold such different opinions are education. We need to take some measure to let them know that we have a close relationship with the environment. Protecting the environment is protecting ourselves.

Cause & Effect

Nowadays, the world is concerning more and more about the environment we are living in. the environment seems to have changed a lot, especially for the climate. I think there are several main catalysts for climate change in my home country.
Firstly, a large number of trees have been cut down. As a result, less carbon dioxide can be absorbed by trees and transmitted into oxygen, which causes the Green House Effect. Then the world is becoming warmer and warmer.
Secondly, some poisoning chemicals are used as fuels or additions to food. Due to this, to some extent, we are breathing poisoning air and eating poisoning food.
Thirdly, in order to develop the economy, some government are operating some factories that use a lot of energy which are not be recycled, such as mind, solid and wood. They care little about the environment for the reason that they need money to feed the family. In other words, some people are desperate for money, they are not able to care about the environment as they are struggling to feed themselves.
In my opinion, we need to find new fuel for the industry and help the people to find more proper ways of earning money. Because only when people are able to live a comfortable life can they care about the living environment.
