Task answer
In recent times, the world is facing a devastating climate change because of pollution. In developed cities, the issue is even more pathetic for traffic jams and low quality of air. Among the different reasons for this issue, I think the most common reasons are the increase of population, and rise of the number of industries in different cities.
First, the population is increasing day by day, and at this moment it crosses 8 billion all over the world, whereas we are unable to increase our land for their stay and commuting. As a result, we can see the increase of traffic on roads, and it also causes air pollution because of the higher number of cars. For instance, in 1990, while my grandfather used to travel for his work it took almost 30 minutes to reach his destination; however, nowadays it takes almost an hour due to long traffic and pedestrians. Similarly, industries are also polluting our nature by throwing waste in rivers, and also releasing intoxicated gas in the air.
However, it created a serious problem for all people of this world. To solve this issue, the higher authorities should take proper action. At first, authorities need to minimize the use of intoxicated gas on different industries, such as- Leather industry, Cloth industry, and so on. Furthermore, to reduce the traffic, authorities need to create new roads, so that every vehicle can pass the road easily.
To conclude, although it becomes quite impossible to solve all those issues in a short period of time, but, with proper judgement and implementation of different rules and regulations I hope authorities can solve all those problems for the betterment of human life.
