Topic:
Developments of technology are causing environmental problems. Some people think the solution is that everyone should accept a simpler life, while other believe that technology can solve these problems. Discuss both view and give your opinion.

Introduction:
Nowadays, it seems that everything becoming more convenient and accessible due to the advancement of technology. However, technology, meanwhile, is considered the main cause of environmental degradation.

Support1
It is undeniable that an individual's behavior has a profound effect on environment.According to the statistics, during the past 100 years, the earth surface temperature has risen dramatically as a result of human activities.
**Greenhouse gas emission from the excessive use of private cars **and poisonous pollutants from factories can be the best illustration how human's activities can have a negative impact on environment. Therefore, if people reduce their reliance on modern technology like private cars, environmental issues such as water pollution and global warming will be alleviated substantially.

Concession:
However, discarding technology is also not a realistic scheme/strategy to reverse this alarming trend. In fact, technology has made it possible to substitute tradition energy with renewable and sustainable energy. It is also conceivable that scientists can replace polluted fuel by researching alternative energy sources, such as wind power, solar power.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, my view is that long-term environmental protection and pollution reduction would depend both on the individual contribution and on environmental technologies innovation.

pollution, urbanization have narrowed the space for other species, or even pose a threat/ threaten to their existence.
private cars are affordable to more families.
