GLOBAL WARMING AND CONSUMERISM



Global warming is a phenomenon that has existed for a few centuries, but started to be important some years ago when scientists really started to investigate it and people became more interested in it. What’s the matter of this problem? That it’s happening now and it isn’t something easy to change.

Firstly, from my point of view, people aren’t really aware about that problem, if everybody started to take it seriously, we would be able to change many problems that are causing it. Secondly, I believe that we should raise awareness among children about how important it is to take care of our planet. Finally, years ago everybody thought that it was fine and everything wouldn’t change so fast, but now such thoughts are not possible because, as I said before, it is happening at present.

All in all, I wish everything changed, that people became more interested in modifying it, that bad policies started to be good ones and this problem began to be more important, but maybe it is too idealistic.

Nowadays it is very common to associate consumerism to a bad thing or idea. Nevertheless, in my opinion, it isn’t a hundred per cent good or bad.

It’s true that consumerism has lots of bad points. Firstly, some factory workers earn low salaries for an inhuman number of working hours. Secondly, there is the environmental effect. It is known that creating new things has a bad effect on the environment and global warming increases. Finally, we are aware that a lot of useful products are thrown away. On the other hand, however, we need consumerism to make the society grow and progress. Another important point is that it generates employment. Finally, the new technologies are helping a lot to dissolve or reduce the bad points.

In conclusion, consumerism is neither a hundred per cent good or bad. It has good and bad points, but we need it to progress, so we should do our best to dissolve its bad points.
