The Last Post

Johann Hari’s believes that we should enforce people to save the planet. She mentions methods on how the government can force a new law on to the people to becoming environmentally friendly. She proves her point through many examples around the world, for example, the mayor of London forces SUV drivers to pay a punitive 6000-a-year premium. These are the simple steps to take before the major ones like industrial companies releasing most of its damage to the earth. Carbon emissions harm millions of people, also the environment around us. Enforcing the people is the only method that would make them change.


In my opinion, I agree with Johann Hari’s statement of enforcing people to save the planet. Especially in the UAE since majority of the people here are ignorant. The government should force people to become environmentally friendly in an indirect method. Increase the prices on products which cause global warming. Like light bulbs, that way people would think twice before buying the regular. Also I believe that something should be done on educating the low income people about global warming, cause I am sure they have no idea what it is.
