 [45]   [2019-1 A] ---Which is more important for reversing environmental damage - technology or human behavior?
 
 
[ Should we be prepared to change our lifestyles to help protect the environment? ]
 
Many people are concerned about enviornmental problems, such as pollution or global warming. Because of this, they often believe that the technology is only the way to solve the problems. However, they need to stop and think how they can protect the natural environment when they change their lifestyle. I believe that changing human behavior is key to the solution.
 
First of all, it costs too much to rely on technology to protect the environment. For example, solar panels are still expensive and most households cannot afford to have it installed. Also, it is not always effective, since it doesn't work in rainy days.
 
On the other hand, we can all do a little more to reduce energy consumption. We can adjust the thermostat of a heater or air conditioner regularly, turn off lights as often as possible, or walk instead of driving. You might say these are too little to solve the problems, but if we all work together, it will make a big difference.
 
Second, we can make a little more effort to reduce garbage. We can make it a habit to recycle things like cans and bottles more often. Also, we can take our own shopping bag when we go shopping, take our own chopsticks to work or school as well as lunch boxes . We shouldn't forget we can reuse glass bottles, or newspapers to clean windows.
 
And, we all need to educate ourselves more on environmental issues. We can hold a charity event or seminar to raise a public awareness of the problem. Or at home, we can teach our children what we can do to protect the environment.
 
In conclusion, there are a lot more things we can do before it is too late to save the environment. Believe me, protecting the environment is too important to keep putting off. We must all join together and contribute at whatever level we can.
