Cycling is more environmentally friendly than other forms of transport. Why is it not popular in many places?

And how to increase its popularity?

The unpopularity of using bicycle in numerous places has been brought into question although there is
little doubt about its friendly effects on the environment compared to cars or airplanes. The reasons for this are
varied and several feasible solutions would be proposed in the essay below.

There are two main underlying explanations for the uncommon use of bicycles. Firstly, it would
consume a considerable amount of time to travel by this means of transport, which, according to many, justifies
the price of potential environmental damage caused by other types of vehicles. This is because it fails to benefit
dwellers of major cities in particular when their pace of working life would eclipse the values of using bicycles
to the environment. Secondly, modern people are becoming less concerned about the negative impact that their
daily use of cars and public transportation would inflict on their surroundings. Therefore, it is rather
impractical to expect cycling in cities, or even the countryside.

The government play a vital role in encouraging the use of this environmentally friendly vehicle.
They could conduct monthly green days that by law require citizens to cycle to work to get people involved in
protecting their environment. In the long term, such an initiative would help to gradually form a habit of cycling
among occupied individuals. More importantly, propagation via various means of media along with optional
courses about the advantages of cycling to the environment at schools seem to be imperative to heighten social
awareness of this matter.

In conclusion, cycling, regardless of its positive influences on the environment, has become a rare
picture in the modern world for a number of reasons; and the government should take immediate actions to
improve this situation.

Plastic pollution

Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues, as rapidly increasing production of
disposable plastic products overwhelms the world's ability to deal with them.

Plastics revolutionized medicine with life-saving devices, made space travel possible, lightened cars and jets-
saving fuel and pollution-and saved lives with helmets, incubators, and equipment for clean drinking water.

The conveniences plastics offer, however, led to a throw-away culture that reveals the material's dark side:
today, single-use plastics account for 40 per cent of the plastic produced every year.

Millions of animals are killed by plastics every year, from birds to fish to other marine organisms. Most of the
deaths to animals are caused by entanglement or starvation. Seals, whales, turtles, and other animals are
strangled by abandoned fishing gear or discarded six-pack rings

Plastics have also been found to have blocked digestive tracts or pierced organs, causing death, stomachs so
packed with plastics reduce the urge to eat, causing starvation.

Ideas:

- Advantages:

+ Revolutionize medicine
+ Make space travel possible, lighten cars and jets-saving fuel and pollution

+ Save lives with helmets, incubators, and equipment for clean drinking water

- Disadvantages:

+ throw-away culture: single-use plastics account for 40 per cent of the plastic produced every year

+ Millions of animals are killed by plastics every year

+ Affect on people’s health: Block digestive tracts or pierce organs -> causing death. …

Global warming

Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It has
become clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as
we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are higher now than at any time in the last
800,000 years.

We often call the result global warming, but it is causing a set of changes to the Earth's climate, or long-term
weather patterns, that varies from place to place. While many people think of global warming and climate
change as synonyms, scientists use "climate change" when describing the complex shifts now affecting our
planet's weather and climate systems - in part because some areas actually get cooler in the short term.

Climate change encompasses not only rising average temperatures but also extreme weather events, shifting
wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas, and a range of other impacts. All of those changes are emerging as
humans continue to add heat-trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, changing the rhythms of climate that
all living things have come to rely on.

Ideas:

- Causes:

+ Glaciers are melting: sông bang tan

+ sea levels are rising: mực nước biển tăng

+ cloud forests are dying: rừng mây đang chết dần

+ wildlife is scrambling to keep pace: động vật hoang dã đang tranh giành để theo kịp tốc độ

+ humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases
