A LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Envirinment

Dear Editor,

I am writing in reply to your article on global warming, which appeared on Monday’s edition of “Daily News” newspaper and would like to share my ideas with you. I do believe that global warming is not a problem that will be impossible to solve. However, many people do not realise the magnitude of the problem and have not done their part to stop it from happening.
Having said that, it is also true that most of us would never forget modern conviniences for the Earth’s sake thinking that it would be pointless no matter what is the price. For example, no one would swtich off all power gadgets in his home while the boy next door is having a soothing hot bath or playing games on his computer.
However, we don’t have to return to ‘dark ages’ to do something to stop the effects of global warming. The main problem of energy supply can easily be solved with the use of solar power or any renewable sources. Simply installing solar panels is beneficial in terms of cost of energy, efiiciency and enviromentally friendly. Hence we do not restrain our energy needs.
The same applies to our cars and the other comforts and convieniences. Of course automobiles are vitally important but with just buying a fuel-efficient cars or considering transportation alternatives such as mass transit, carpooling, bicycling or telecommunicating we would be beficial to both environment and us ourselves.
To sum up, we do not have to scientics or diplomats to prevent the process of global warming. The underlying problem is that many people are not aware of the magnitude of global warming and have not done their part to stop it from happening. What we do need is simple information, and not to forget that individual choices can have an impact on the climate change.
Yours faithfully,
Suzane Karamanova
