technology and science support our society by helping us to develop certain facts and discover new methods of living but at the same time it brings harmful and negative effects to our environment. There are many benefits and uses that we rely on in this two important varieties of developing human’s life. Without these two I can’t imagine how we can live in a society full of chaos and disorder. Though humans want to have an order and organise things, technology and science made human society this far from the old and ancient methods of governing. But, are technology and science really helping us or making it worst? Do we notice how bad the situation of our environment? Besides from its benefits into our society it has different kinds of harmful effect unto our environment.
Just like the invention of the car, cars really contributed on our society but it does have harmful effects that destroys our atmosphere. The smoke that it releases have bad components of air that traps sunlight to get out from our planet. Technology and science made it possible for us to use fossil fuel as a source of power for our cars. The bad thing is when fossil fuels are burned they give off greenhouse gasses that ultimately contribute to the distraction of our atmosphere and environment. Another bad effect of technology and science is the use of fireworks. The materials for making fireworks like heavy metals and chemicals contribute in the pollution of both water and air. Next is the illegal cutting of trees. Due to technological development new houses today require strong and many woods to be built. Our desperate fellow humans take this as a chance of making money by cutting trees without replanting or replacing it by another tree. This affect the structure of mountains and the strength of its base when it rains. Because of the few trees planted on the mountains landslides occur and it is not only the environment affected but also those who live near mountains and hills.
Those are just some harmful effects of over using or abusing science and technology. It may be insufficient but that three examples I have given are three of the greatest factors why we have very bad climate change and global warming. We are responsible of making science and technology as a source of knowledge for solution of these problems. Plant more trees to have more oxygen and at the same time it will make our environment greener.
