A problem Exists

In the society we live, we face a myriad of challenges and problems. Many of the problems are as result of human activities. Global warming is a major problem that puts the future generation at risk and therefore requires a solution.

Global warming is one of the major problems that face the world today. This problem has an effect on climate as it causes climate change that threatens the survival of the living organisms (Milfont, 2012). The major cause of this problem is the human activities and it dates back many years when the industrial affluent were emitted in the air without any filtration. Nowadays, every individual is responsible for global warming and it is upon every individual to take the responsibility to solve this problem.

Global warming is one of the environmental problems that have a negative impact on the life of the people across the world. There are challenges in fighting this problem. One of the challenges is that many countries have not put in place measures to control environmental pollution and degradation. The laws to protect the environment are flouted allowing industries to emit toxic substances in the environment (Lerner, Lerner & Wilmoth, 2006). Another challenge is that people are not taking individual responsibilities to protect and enhance their environment. This problem, however can be eliminated if appropriate measures are taken. One of the measures to solve the problem is for the respectful governments in the world to put in place laws that will mandate people not to pollute the environment. Industries should be regulated and those that go against the laws persecuted (Milfont, 2012). Awareness should be increased to inform people on the best ways to manage their environment. People themselves should take responsibilities by always taking measures that enhances the environment.

Deforestation is yet another environmental problem that threatens the survival of living things and the future lives of the living organisms (Lerner, Lerner & Wilmoth, 2006). Cutting down of trees is a challenge that needs to be solved amicably. As the demand for tree goes up as a result of the increase in population and needs of households, the forest cover is under threat. The challenge that faces this problem is lack of law enforcement. The solution to this problem is to enforce the law and ensure that forest covers are protected. The society should also be educated on the importance of planting trees. For example a policy such as cut one and plant three need to be adopted and enforced to ensure that the forests are not destroyed completely as they act as water catchment areas.

The third problem that requires a solution is exploitation and misappropriation of the available e resources. The rate of consumption of the resources at our disposal is at a high rate. Many people are not able to utilize the resources well and this poses a risk of extinction. For instance, resources such as water, minerals and even living organisms such as fish face a threat. This is an economic as well as an environmental problem. Continued exploitation of these natural resources affects the environment as the same face depletion. The solution to this problem is to encourage reuse and recycling of the resources to ensure that they do not face extinction. The economic problem attributable to this is that, the rate of consumption increases and the demand of the products increases hence placing a lot of pressure on them. Therefore, there is a need for the people to regulate their consumption and to balance the rate of consumption to the economic benefits.

In conclusion, we face various problems and challenges. One of the problems as discussed in this paper is global warming that affects the climate. This environmental problem must be approached in a better manner to avoid its ramification. The cutting down of trees or deforestation is yet another challenge that we face as a people. Similarly, the problem of overexploitation of the resources and misappropriation of the available resources is a problem that requires amicable solution. The buck stops with the government and the people in ensuring that these problems are solved. The future of our countries and our generation will remain in balance if actions to mitigate these challenges are not enforced. It is therefore a challenge to all the people to take the responsibility of ensuring that the fight against these problems is fruitful.
