The natural resources like oil, forests and fresh water are being consumed at an alarming rate. What problems does this cause? How can we solve these problems?

Introduction: The time has come for international soul-searching about the environment. The industrial revolution has changed forever the relation between humanity and nature. In this essay I intend to explore the problems caused by the increased consumption of oil, forests and fresh water, and suggest some solutions.

Paragraph 1: ( talk about oil) problems:- non-renewable and so will finish very soon. Pollution is another problem.

Solutions – at individual level – we can use more public transport, we can make lifestyle changes and use less luxuries.

At government level – people can be educated. More effort can be done to research alternate sources of energy.

Paragraph 2: ( talk about fresh water ) Problem – there can be no life without water. Water is the most precious commodity.

Solution: are according to causes – At government  level -  desalination plants can be set . strict laws can be enforced for industries against pollution of fresh water by effluents.

At individual level – we should use water conservatively and recycle water wherever possible.

Paragraph 3: (talk about forests) problem: Because of deforestation, many animals and plants are facing extinction which provides us food, medicine and other valuable products. We have less bio-diversity also. Moreover, when trees are cut, the soil is exposed to heavy rain and so is washed away. The soil also becomes infertile. Also, trees absorb carbon-dioxide, which causes global warming because of the increase of greenhouse gases.

Solutions: - Afforestation. – strict laws by govt against industries which emit too much CO2.

Conclusion:
