Essay Intro

In the modern world today, due to the economic boost, the overall income of the people has increased as compared to the past. This means the purchasing power of the people has raised and people demand for more luxury goods such as cars. In order to meet the surging demand for international trades of cars, businessmen set up numerous factories at the relatively lower waged countries such as China and India to produce cars. These factories were mostly operating with fossil fuel energy system which caused extensively releasing of harmful gases. As a result, global warming and acid rains were more frequent than in the past, especially in USA and Canada. Furthermore, the dramatic increase in number of cars running on the road also contributes greatly to the air pollution as mentioned. However, these problems are not irreversible. It might be hard to eliminate them totally but with different sectors of the people making effort to cooperate, these problems can be kept at the lowest level possible.
