Our
current way of life will have a negative impact on future
generations. Use specific examples to support your answer.

Life today is more comfortable and convenient than ever. Modern society
has produced some amazing innovations that have radically transformed
our daily habits and intimate relationships. However, many are concerned
that the way we live now will have a negative impact on future
generations. I totally agree with this idea. Our current behaviour will
definitely hurt future societies because we waste too many resources and
use too much energy. It goes without saying that this are the two main
reasons.
Humans are producing more garbage and wastes than ever. Every year the
rate of waste increases as the population continues to expand. And much
of this garbage isn't recyclable. My experience is a compelling evidence of
this. A few years back, I was living in New York City. It was a big surprise to
see garbage cans on almost every street corner that were constantly filled
to the brim. My own small apartment building, with only ten apartments,
had over a hundred bags of garbage by the end of every week. And I'm just
as guilty of waste as everyone else. I filled up a whole garbage can with
random junk almost every day. There is so much waste that could be easily
avoided. We could be using washable towels, instead of paper towels,
portable mugs, instead of disposable coffee cups, just to name a few. I fear
that humans in the future will have to pay up for the waste we are
creating today.
Not only does the amount of waste we currently generate harm to the
environment, but so does the energy we consume. We still rely on fossil
fuels to power our cars and heat our homes. The electric companies that
supply citizens with the energy needed to live still use coal and natural gas.
Every day we are pumping an enormous amount of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere, speeding up the rate of global warming. However, few people
have changed, including me. In the summertime, I have the air conditioner
on at the highest possible setting. In the winter, I make sure every room in
the house is warm. Every day I burn fossil fuels and contribute to the
pollution problem. I enjoy a comfortable modern life filled with
convenience, but hardly ever consider how these decisions may harm
others in the future.
While it's true that life today is more comfortable than ever, I believe our
current habits will have a negative impact on the future. The massive
amount of garbage and fossil fuels we consume and waste is already
contributing to climate change. We must make better decisions about
waste and energy today, to ensure a better tomorrow and a brighter
future.
