These days, more and more young people are choosing to study in other countries

The government should reduce the amount of money spent on local environmental problems and instead increase funding into urgent and more threatening issues such as Global Warming.


To what extent do you agree or disagree?



General topic: environmental hazards.
Controlling issue: should governments spend more money on global issues than local problems?
Position: no, both local and global problems should be funded sufficiently.


Global problems:
Greenhouse gases-global warming-rising sea levels, flash floods and desertification-serious consequences.
Renewable resources/technological advances should be used to solve global warming.
Air pollution-ozone layer depletion/acid rain.
International cooperation/funding should be used to solve air contamination.


Local concerns:
Hazardous waste-causing poor air quality-reducing public health.
Great funds and better solutions of experts should be used to solve it.
The recent development of tourism-causing deforestation/water pollution-various health problems [ex-cardiovascular and diarrheal diseases].
Money should be spent on reforestation/preservation of aquatic organisms.


The current generation suffers an ever-increasing number of environmental problems. Some feel that the amount of financial resources spent on local environmental issues should be minimized and rather invested in the prevention of acute widespread hazards like global warming. In my view, governments are to allocate sufficient funds into both global and local concerns.


A variety of ecological problems should be addressed on an international level. First, global warming, which has resulted from the emissions of greenhouse gases, is contributing to rising sea levels, flash floods, and desertification, leading to severe consequences for those who live nearby water bodies. This phenomenon is to be dealt with through the use of renewable resources and technological advancements like electrical cars. Air contamination on a global scale is also a serious consideration causing ozone layer depletion and acid rain. It also needs to be handled through the international cooperation and funding sufficiently. The longer these huge problems exist, the more difficult it will be for humanity to survive.


Similarly, an equal proportion of budgets should be distributed to the elimination of local problems concerning the environment. In recent times, the production of hazardous waste, which contains carcinogenic and teratogenic compounds, has increased and resulted in poor air quality, thereby reducing public health. To deal with this, local authorities should definitely allot great funds to build more recycling machines and incentivise hazardous-waste disposal experts to find better solutions. Furthermore, the development of tourism has exacerbated the issues of water pollution and deforestation in many socities, as a result of which local inhabitants are harbouring various health problems, such as cardiovascular and diarrheal diseases. Therefore, governments are to invest in reforestation projects and the preservation of aquatic organisms. The more money is spent on these problems, the healthier individuals and local ecosystems will get.


In summary, I believe that governments ought to provide equally sifficient funds to combat both global and local problems relating to the environment. Not only do global threats like Global warming and air pollution have great importance, but local problems such as waste disposal, water pollution, and deforestation also deserve significant spendings.

Some people think that all tenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their free time to help the local community. They believe this would benefit both the individual teenager and society as a whole.
