Nowadays, the issue of global warming is more serious. As a result, the government usually raise gasoline and electricity prices to help people protect the Earth. I believe it is not the only effective way to encourage energy conservation.

I agree increasing gasoline and electricity prices can encourage conservation. It will force people to preserve energy, since people need to be e-friendly to save money. This method will quickly function since it affects people’s daily lives, because most people wants to reduce their budget. However, raising gasoline and electricity prices also has some disadvantages. It will cause heavy economic pressure on blue-collar citizens since they mostly already have a tight budget. These workers have to spend all their salaries on necessities of their lives, and they also have no awareness of using e-friendly energy resources. Raising gasoline and electricity prices may give these workers a hard life. To solve this problem, there are actually more ways to encourage energy conservation.

First, the government can give lectures to raise people’s awareness of protecting the environment. Lectures will remind people of energy conservation, and they can tell people the importance of being environmentally-friendly. At the same time, giving lectures is long-term effective since people will proactively conserve energy. People will be willing to protect the environment and encourage others to do the same. My brother’s neighborhood once offered free lectures to show people the importance of conserving energy. After that, people began to preserve energy and remind others of that, because they were aware of the significant of being green.

Second, the government can offer awards for people who are environmentally-friendly. It will be effective because awards can inspire people. If people are awarded for conserving energy, they will probably conserve energy to get those awards next time. They will also feel proud of themselves, both for getting the prize and for helping the environment. People will not receive pressure economically, either.

In conclusion, increasing gasoline and electricity prices isn’t the only way for governments to encourage energy conservation. Giving lectures to people is a good choice, and offering awards also works.

Nowadays, global warming is an important issue. Governments usually raise the price of gasoline and electricity to help people be green. I believe this is not the only effective way to encourage energy conservation.

I agree increasing the price of gasoline and electricity is efficient to encourage conservation. It will force people to preserve energy. People need to be green to save money. This method will quickly function since it affects people’s daily lives. Everyone wants to reduce their budget. However, it also has some disadvantages. It will cause heavy economic pressure on blue-collar citizens since they already have a very tight budget. These workers have to spend all their salaries on daily products. They also have no access to e-friendly energy resources. Raising the price of gasoline and electricity may give them a hard life. I believe there are more ways to encourage energy conservation.

First, governments can give lectures to warn or educate people. Lectures will remind people of energy conservation. They can help tell people the importance of being environmentally-friendly. At the same time, giving lectures is long-term effective. People will proactively conserve energy. They are willing to protect the environment and encourage others to do the same. My brother’s neighborhood once offered free lectures to show people the importance of conserving energy. After that, people began to preserve energy and remind others of that.

Second, governments can offer awards for people who are being green. Awards are more effective than punishments. If people are awarded for conserving energy, they will be green to get those awards. They also feel proud of themselves, both for getting the prize and for protecting the environment. People will not receive pressure economically, either.

In conclusion, increasing the price of gasoline and electricity isn’t the only way for governments to encourage energy conservation. Giving lectures to people is a good choice, and offering awards also works.

Nowadays people’s lives are affected by the Internet and public transportation more and more. However, neither of them is fully developed, so they both need help from governments. In my opinion, I believe that they need the same amount of funding since they are both able to make our lives better.

Public transportation provides an environmental-friendly and efficient way to travel. You don’t have to worry about traffic jams or accidents, so people can preserve their time to do other valuable things. At the same time, the price of public transportations is cheap. As a result, it provides an effective way to travel for poor people and university students. Also, most public transportation vehicles are green. Since they produce little or even no pollutions, it is good for the environment.

However, public transportation are not popular among citizens. Many of them prefers to drive their own cars or call taxis to travel. Since public transportations are beneficial, governments should provide enough funding to popularize those vehicles, improve the quality and inner facilities of them, also make policies to encourage people to use them.

The Internet also has a positive influence on people. It makes access to information much easier and more efficient than before. It’s common for people today to know news all over the world while staying at home. The Internet provides all kinds of information, and it gives people chances to become knowledgeable. It also makes amusement and communication easier. People can talk to their friends far away from them, and they can also enjoy online programs to entertain, or to reduce stress levels. Although there are so many advantages, a lot of old people don’t even know how to access information from the Internet. Governments should provide funding to disseminate the use of the Internet to satisfy people’s needs.

In conclusion, I think that governments should spend the same amount of money on Internet access and public transportation. They are the same important, but they both need help from governments to be improved.
