The increase in the production of consumer goods results in damage to the natural environment. What are the causes of this and what can be done to solve this problem? (2016-04-21)

答案
It is widely recognised that the number of goods, such as clothing, computers and food, that are produced for consumers has resulted in quite extensive damage to our environment and any increase in their production would, logically, exacerbate this damage.
Looking at the causes of this potentially irreparable damage, I believe, they can be put into 2 major groups: resourcing and production. Most people, these days, are demanding more and more technology, more and more choice without understanding the impact this has on our world. Mobile phones would be the classic example of this. People don’t realise the chain of production in something like an iPhone. The fact is that there will be several mines around the world to produce the metals needed for the circuitry, the amount of diesel fuel required for either the trains or the trucks when transporting either the raw material, or for that matter, the finished product and the amount of pollution factories cause during both the refining and production processes.
As for potential solutions to this problem, we need again to look at both the beginning and the end of the production cycle. If we can develop technology that improves the efficiency of the use of raw materials, not only would this potentially reduce the amount we need, but also extend the life of what we’ve got. Looking at the production side of this issue, we need to be able, in some way, to reduce the pollutants that factories are placing in the air. Maybe this could also be done with a new form of technology, or maybe it could just be done by changing some processes involved.
Overall, I think the best way to solve this problem is to try and help society understand that they don’t need to be so greedy. If there was not the continuing expansion of desire and unrelenting want for something new, we wouldn’t have this problem in the first place.
