The government's efforts to upgrade and improve the quality of public services should be lauded. This is because it not only for the convenience and benefit of the people , but also an effort to reduce pollution from the use of fossil fuels high in the transportation sector in Malaysia. However, the effect of the use of fossil fuels for decades already we experience today. The proof of the impact of fossil fuel use has resulted in widespread phenomenon of global warming that ultimately also affect global climate change. Have we ever thought, what we will face if we continue to be at ease with just dependent on fossil fuel sources alone? While resources are the major contributors to the pollution problem we face today.
Are we prepared to see environmental fate shrouded in gloom we continue to neglect our deck to find a solution to this problem? While we have a better option may be the buffer to the fossil fuels that we use today. One of these is the application of green technology in the generation of comprehensive and integrated source of energy and also all our daily activities. Just what the question is the extent of our awareness of the importance of green technology? If we observe, on this level of public awareness of green technologies is still low and has not reached a satisfactory level. The proof we can see when there are many factories that emit black smoke that are harmful. Similarly, the fuel consumption of motor vehicles that are worrying us. In fact, these days we also witnessed the destruction of our natural environment with impunity, the rivers are polluted and carbon emissions into the air at random and in large quantities.
While we should be more responsible members of the community and be sensitive to our environment. Each activity should be thought of in advance of the environmental merits. For example, the use of vehicles and machinery that use fossil fuels (petrol and diesel) resulting in severe air pollution. In fact, the impact of burning fossil fuels can produce poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and other pollutants. In fact, if we look at the location of the large cities of focus such as Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru, the level of pollutants from vehicles is definitely higher than the areas of focus. This will have a direct impact on air quality (air quality will deteriorate in locations that experience high traffic congestion). In addition, the traffic situation is not managed properly will result in wastage of resources and also affect the health of people who breathe these pollutants directly.
Thus, the government's effort to upgrade the public transport system in Malaysia is an appropriate measure in order to preserve environmental sustainability. This is because, from statistical reports National Energy Balance 2008, it was found that the use of fossil fuels in the transport sector in Malaysia has increased by 35.8 % between 2000 and 2008. This percentage will certainly continue to increase if no appropriate measures are taken to reduce usage.
Recognizing the fact that it can only be avoided if there is a development in the public transport sector, the government has worked to improve the quality of public transport to reduce that percentage. In fact, the continuing development of the public transport sector can also accommodate the growing demand for such services.
Therefore, efforts to reduce emissions through the development of effective public transport would have a positive impact on the country. For example, it can not only save lives, but also save the environment and provide economic benefits to the country. Moreover, if we have an effective transportation system and perfect, we will be able to reduce energy waste and environmental pollution. In fact, energy waste and pollution will be minimized if more successful the support and use of public services. But the question would people use public service to move from one destination to the other every day? Certainly it is a bit heavy for average as he answered our own more comfortable ride.
While the willingness and cooperation of the community is necessary to accomplish this goal. If this plan fails, not only the money of the people melts, but also a source of energy is wasted. Therefore, as people who are concerned about the future of the environment, we must agree and welcome the government's noble efforts to develop an efficient public transport system. Hopefully with the support of all parties on the MRT project developed by the government, it would be good positive results on the welfare of the people or the environment as a whole. Even if the plan is able to achieve its goals, not only the environment can be preserved, otherwise well-being we will also secure.
In addition, an effective resource management system should also be implemented in a more serious and integrated to ensure the supply of energy and the sustainable use for human consumption in the future. In fact, to prevent our planet threatened by heat, the use of alternative energy sources from renewable sources (renewable energy) and environmentally friendly is encouraged. This is because, with the application of green technology as a whole will be able to help preserve the environment to the maximum level.
In fact, we should realize that our earth is no longer able to bear the burden of sustainable consumption and energy waste caused by people. In order to overcome this problem, the efficient use of energy in all activities is essential to the problems that plague the environment is minimized. Moreover, in a culture of awareness of green technology and engage in making green technology programs that have been implemented by the government are also important so that problems can be resolved on the issue of energy down to the grassroots.
