节约能源唯一有效的途径就是提高汽油和电力的价格。
There is a discussion about energy conservation. Some people may be right to think that the best way is to increase the price of gasoline and electricity. From my point of view, I cannot agree on that statement because under the circumstance that 21st century, technology development keeps the pace with economical situation improvement.
To begin with, from the most convincing reasons from the supporters, one must be stressed is that in order to reduce the usage amount of the energy, we can take the advantage of the technology to change our high-carbon life styles. For example, computers have brought us a lot of convince. As the rapid pace of life nowadays, people seldom have spare time. Under this circumstance, it has become a general tendency that people can just stay at home and shop online. As is known to all, we can save time and energy with online shopping. Online shopping gives more options and real-time inventory of items. A mall store may have limited space to display all the trends, but an online store is only limited by the size of their imagination. As well, with strong competence, the costumers will spend the least money to buy the best things. Consequently, it is new epoch for us to embrace the light-carbon life style. Without any doubt, shopping online, a typical example of what is discussing, have indeed supported that technology really remove the barrier for energy-conserving.
In addition, it becomes totally unfair for government to focus only on money without caring about its services. For instance, some government services, such as the transportation in the city, are overstuffed in rush hours; some people cannot go to work on time because they do no catch the regular buses; a great number of the commuters spend too much on their way home for traffic jam. So it is obvious that the public transportation service is an essential part that strongly influences the living standards in our daily lives. If the traffic situation could be promoted, most of these commuters would choose the public transportation to go to work place in downtown and it would an essential ingredient of the modern energy-conservative society. Consequently, government should invest in improving its services, which will not only benefit citizens instantaneously but also for the environment preservation.
Admittedly, like one Native American proverb saying, we cannot deny that the high costs do sharp future demands. Nevertheless, such is human nature that we will choose the way we live, which meet the balance between environmental issues and personal finance situation , and it paves the way to the best solution to energy conservation.
From all the above we have discussed, we can safely draw the conclusion that in order to reduce the usage of energy, we should change our life style by using the cutting-edge technology and also ask for government to improve its service. Therefore, there are several alternative methods to solve this problem instead of only increasing the price of gasoline and electricity.
