Pollution in Ecuador Can Be Controlled

People only care about having a car or the best technology, and they not realize they are destroying the nature and their own lives. Ecuador has always been recognized as a natural country, a great biodiversity: full of exotic species (flora and fauna). This recognition is disappearing due to humans. Ecuador is now suffering several consequences because of human contamination. This country should take some of the followings advices in order to attack the pollution problems. (explain more your thesis)

First of all, the overpopulation of cars in Ecuador is affecting human health. The government should invest in public transportation, so people use it and stop buying cars. Cars can be a good way of transportation, but the overpopulation of cars that Quito has, can be the worse friend of human life. For example, cars usually emitted a lot of toxic gases and some particles that in future will have harmful effects on human health, especially when there are more cars than normal. These gases are emitted into the atmosphere and these enter in our lungs every second and in every breath that we take. That’s why the government should control the overpopulation of cars, and they should invest in public transportation.

Second, water pollution is a serious problem in Ecuador, mainly because of the oil companies, and the oil spills that these companies cause. The country should improve the regulations and take more control to the oil companies. The government must increase the taxes in the case of oil spills, so they will be more careful in the handling of oil. These oil spills cause extensive damage. For example, these spills cause deaths of animals and plants of the area. Oil in water also affects people who use this water because it can cause poisoning and even death. The government must be severe with the oil spills, and take actions in case that these oil companies polluted the environment.

Third, Ecuador is being affected by industries wastes. These industries just care about the technology and all the goods that they can produce. And they don’t care about nature and human health. That’s why people in this country should start to recycling plastic bottle, and they must recycle paper such as printing in the two faces of the sheet of paper. The Municipality of the different cities in Ecuador should also be stricter about garbage collection by implementing best separation practices for waste and material that can be recycled. If people begin to recycle, there will be less consumption so that industries will have less waste and less pollution will affect us.

In conclusion, Ecuador is suffering several consequences because of pollution. But there are many ways to attack the problem of pollution in Ecuador such as controlling the overpopulation of cars in the country by investing in popular transportation. Also people should start recycling and the government must be more demanding with oil companies so they can be more aware of their actions here are still many ways and solutions to save the country, and allow it to remain a natural and biodiverse country. (and let it be a nature care country).
