Vehicles and Factories produce Harmful gasses. How can we minimize this problem?

Introduction of the problem

Vehicle and factories have been the main contributors of harmful gases that have led to accelerated global warming. The problem of toxic gases has been one of the top topics of discussion in many governments as they explore ways and means of minimizing the problem. In addition, the harmful gases from vehicles and factories not only cause environmental pollution but also cost the government a lot of revenues in holding campaigns and training on how to use environmentally friendly machines. A solution to minimize such effects would be most recommended because the government cannot order shutting down of factories nor can it get rid of all vehicles responsible.

Defining the problem

Every living thing requires a clean and healthy atmosphere in order to survive. The harmful gases produced by factories and vehicles have turned earth into the worst living place in the whole universe. The main problem arising from the issue of production of harmful gases is the lack of appropriate methods of minimizing the gases. The efforts of many nations to go into using green energy have been rendered weightless. This is because people are either unwilling to change or, lack of adequate resources to implement the plan.

Proposed solution

The production of harmful gases from the vehicle and factories could be minimized by the following proposed solutions. All countries should encourage the use of green energy, or the renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, and hydropower energy. Factories and vehicles use engines run by fuels such as petroleum and fossil fuels. Such fuels consume a lot of carbon leading to production of harmful gases in the form of carbon monoxide. Consequently, these harmful gases lead to air pollution and more importantly destroy the ozone layer that contributes to global warming. The introduction of renewable sources of energy would serve as the best solution for this problem. According to State Energy Resource Centre, renewable energy sources reduce the pollutions from factories and vehicles engine products. In addition, the renewable sources reduce the energy consumption from fossil fuels and petroleum by 25-75%.

The implementation of this solution would be the most effective method of minimizing production of harmful gases from factories and vehicles. The implementation process would require the government putting up policies that prevent upcoming factories from using fossil fuels or petroleum in running engines. Moreover, the government should focus of production of battery powered vehicles and sell them at reasonable prices.

Other solutions

Even with efforts of environmental management authority to provide solutions towards minimizing of harmful gasses production, some solutions have never succeeded. The United States Engineers introduced smokeless engines as a method of minimizing production of harmful gases. The following method has little effect on minimizing gas production because no engine can run without exhausting smoke. Although the effect is limited, it ends up polluting the environment in future (Associated Press 2013). Secondly, the solution to arrest and prosecute owners of smoke producing engines and factories is another solution that failed. The high rate of corruption could not allow even a single person to be prosecuted and the problem kept on increasing.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the impact of global warming had affected many people and resulted into loss of many lives globally. People ought to turn into using renewable sources of energy in order to minimize effects of harmful gases. Moreover, the government officials should be on the leading position calling for citizens to take care of the environment in order to increase the life span. The following proposed solution forms the best practice that any country can follow to minimize the production of harmful gases from factories and vehicles.
