Sample Answer

Environmental degradation is rife today. With our planet submerging in the perils of pollution and other hazards, this situation has worsened over a while. Some people think that the present generation is aware and ready to incline towards a less comfortable life in the wake of environmental protection. However, I don’t think it’s entirely true and partially disagree with this opinion. In the paragraphs to follow, I shall put forth my point of view on the topic.

It has not escaped the attention of anyone that today’s generation has become extremely insolent towards the environment and, as a result, are bearing consequences for their own devious ways. People today have considered environmental issues as a pick and choose topic and care to notice either only for their college projects or on some specific days such as World Environment Day. It is a very unpleasant and, unfortunately, a very common sight when such critical issues are seen getting slipped out of the mainstream and not paid much attention to. Moreover, modern-day technologies have significantly contributed to the ailing status of our environment.

In very recent times owing to certain calamitous consequences that have vigorously jinxed our climatic conditions, the youth is seen waking up to the harrowing shrieks of our unhealthy planet. Global warming, poor air quality, and consequentially, the drop in the health statuses of people have brought this reckless generation to sense, and some people and confederations have started taking actions to protect the environment now. However, the major proportion of the world is still spotted taking the environmental deterrents and the threats as a subsidiary issue. This attitude has trembled the foundation of environmental safety. The usage of hazardous chemicals, pollutants in the water bodies, and the dangerous frequencies of digital devices are devouring the globe.

Hence, in conclusion, we can say that the present society is not really ready to give up on the unhealthy ways that they consider convenient ones, and in the process cause inconvenience to our environment.
