Modern technology has a great impact on our environment. Some say that people should adopt a simple lifestyle to solve this problem, while others argue that the technology itself should provide a solution. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

This contemporary milieu has been influenced by 1innovationnew innovation in technology, which has affected the natural environment. There are arguments to suggest that people should live in a 2traditional lifestyletraditional form of lifestyle to rectify ecological problems. However, it can be argued that 3technology can offerthe technology can offer solutions to tackle 4environmental destructionthe environmental destruction. Primarily, it is indubitable that the natural habitat could be preserved if most people 5switchedadapted to manual labour rather than machines. It might be the case that some farmers use mechanical ploughs, which 6emitemits a considerable amount of fumes, to weed their farm. There is a view that these machines, which 7increase productivityhasten the productivity, have 8freedhelped people from their daily routine 9taskstask. As a result, the demand 10forof machines will also lead to the production of carbon dioxide, which will contribute to global warming. Furthermore, there are reasons to suggest that some of the machines have been used to exploit environmental resources. 11Taking into consideration the use of the chain saw that accelerates the logging of live trees. It is also possible that some businessmen have established factories, and most of the equipment is reliant on fossil fuel. In the previous era, 12the majority of peoplemajority of primitive people 13survived even withouthave survived even without the use of technology, thus in this modern world, some would consider that people can still thrive by reducing the usage of machines. 14In contrast, it can never be denied that the advent of technology has contributed to the development of a country and even the preservation of mother earth can be granted by modern studies. To illustrate, there is a feasible 15studystudy6 that asserts that the ultraviolet rays coming from the sun can be 16blockedprevented through the use of mirrors which 17would be flownwill b flown in the space. As a result, the sun rays will be deflected by 18millions of mirrorsthe million of mirrors in the space, and that will be viable because of the continuous development in technology. In addition, the possibility to recycle the old goods and rubbish has become realistic because of the application of technology. For instance, the disintegration of matter and moulding to a new form can be ascribed to advances in machinery and computers. In my opinion, time is inevitably progressing, and people need to adapt to the modern culture. Moreover, 19there has been strict legislationthere has been as strict legislation that precludes people from abusing 20environmental resourcesthe environmental resource, thus they might seldom use technology to harm the forest. To conclude, some people believe that they should not become more reliant on machines in order to maintain the wealth of the environment, yet it is compelling that technology has been proven to produce 21effective solutionsamenable aid to resolve the environmental hazards and pollution.
