develop a conversation between two friends about urbanisation a threat to environment
Answers
Karthik: Hey Nithin, have you prepared the topic for your debate?
Nithin: To be frank, I am quite confused. I have got points to support urbanization.
Karthik: Well, points against urbanization are easy too. One of the best examples is threat to the environment.
Nithin: Oh yes! I forgot that. One thing that we tend to do to promote urbanization is cut down trees. This can have a drastic impact on the climate.
Karthik: You can also say how pollution is on the rise due to industries that come up as a step towards urbanization.
Nithin: The pollution causes a lot of health hazards. There are many air- and water-borne illnesses today because of pollution.
Karthik: Yes, you can talk about that in detail. So, now you have an idea on how urbanization can be a threat to the environment.
Nithin: Of course, I do! Thank you very much for helping me out.
Harish: "Have you heard that they are going to expand our city and the forests on the outskirts will be cut down."
Abhishek: "Yes, I think that is the only way they can clear the area and build houses there."
Harish: "But why do they have to do so?"
Abhishek: "The population is increasing so people need more place to live."
Harish: "People will need more things so more industries will be set up."
Abhishek: "If the city is expanded people will need vehicles to travel to far off distances."
Harish: "The vehicles will cause air and noise pollution."
Abhishek: "That will be harmful to the environment."
Harish: "Not only that, we will lose the forests due to deforestation and be deprived of all the benefits that we get from trees."
Abhishek: "Yes, that means urbanization is harmful to the environment."
