Concerns of the Contemporary World

Başak EZER

Greenhouse gases occur in the atmosphere as a result of activities such as fossil fuel consumption and excessive industrial production which lead to global climate changes . In fact , we are beginning to see this reality more and more in our daily lives . And as long as it goes on like this , we are going to face more challenges . But there is a way to prevent this : we can re-plan cities to minimize global warming . First of all , we should plan and reduce the population in cities . Environmental pollution should be avoided and green places such as , parks , forests etc . should be maximized . Also , in transportation , instead of having personal vehicles , there should be more public vehicles that can be used by more than one person . Means of transport should work with electricity instead of oil . Planes , shouldn ’ t be preferred for short distances considering the environmental damage . The other thing is , water which is the source of life should be used carefully . Last , consumption should be reduced . People should not buy unnecessary things beside their basic needs . In this way , production and consumption will reduce , so the areas such as factories and shopping malls will diminish . In conclusion , if we do all these things , maybe we will see the future .
