There have been many ideas for ways to protect the environment, but not all of them have been successful. Some of them have even damaged the environment in ways that the creators had not considered.
One idea is to create floating cities to solve the problem of overcrowding. This has been tried in Dubai, but it seems that the man-made islands have damaged the ecosystem. A project in China has been a little more successful by producing pollution-free islands, but they are far too expensive to copy around the world.
Another idea to save the planet was to use biofuels instead of traditional fuels. They’re made from natural oils and are therefore a renewable form of energy. However they have severely damaged the environment by causing deforestation and creating a global food crisis as farmers use the land for producing biofuel and not food. In addition biofuel production requires a lot of water, which may mean that local people lose their water supply.
However, for every disaster story there is also a success story. We used to get plastic bags for free whenever we bought something in a shop, and then we used to throw them away. Eight million tonnes of plastic, much of which is plastic bags, goes into the world’s oceans every year and is eaten by many sea animals. However, since supermarkets in the UK started charging 5p for every plastic bag, the use of bags has been reduced by 85%. If every country does this, then our land and oceans could be much cleaner.
