main means when dealing with environmental problems


Now China is facing a dilemma. Because of the rapid development on technology, natural resources and our living circumstances are being sacrificed. Therefore, I think that setting up a series of complete laws is the main means to deal with environmental problems, because when laws are set up, there is an invisible hand forcing people to think about the relationship between human beings and environment and to form the sense of environmental protection as well. Actually, the unsustainable usages of natural resources are always caused by exponential developments on technology which are costly and bring unborn suffering. One of the most miserable cases is the chemical factory blast in Jilin province on 6th April 2006. 100 tons of benzene was released into Songhua River, forcing Harbin to shut down its water system for almost one month. Furthermore, the water was also deadly polluted which killed thousands tons of fishes. We cannot avoid accident. However we should have the sense to protect ourselves as well as the environment before or after accidents. What laws do is to persuade and force people to fulfill their duties. Because the environmental law in China is not complete, the majority still think that environmental protection is not crucially related to our daily life. That is the reason why you can find plastic bags and waste batteries on the grass but not in the dustbin. Therefore, I believe when dealing with environmental problems we have to put a series of feasible laws into practice.

I also think our government should set up more strict law on environment. But I feel hopeless about the result. I think we, human beings, will eventually destroy our Earth. The earth is dying. oops.

I think we can avoid accidents... if we are careful enough not to get one. However, China really should set up some laws that will enforce the protection of the environment. Perhaps by this way people will be more careful and handle those pollutants more carefully.
