 The best way to protect the environment is to use local resources (eg. Food, building materials) rather than transporting resources from other places.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.?

It is an undeniable fact that good surrounding play a paramount significant role to live a healthy life . It is often argued that ideal way to save the environment is to use a local resources in spite of importing things from abroad . However , I partially agree to the given notion.

Apparently, utilising the local resources hold wide range of constructive benefits . First and foremost , not only it will be conducive in creating employment opportunities for the local people ,but also will aid in raising the economic status of the nation.  To vindicate,  research by BBC revealed that there is an exponential rise in the economy of China from a decade  as their import ratio is very less as compared to their export. Secondly , will it be beneficial in lowering the carbon emissions emitted by transportation? Certainly yes,  since by using the local products the less transportation will take place which will curtail the pollution  and save the planet. Thus,  these are some key factor influencing to save guard the earth by using the local produced goods .

Nevertheless, there are myriad alternatives by which we can protect the environment. Chiefly, if awareness is spread among the millennial about the car pooling and use of bicycles for short distances , there will be  decrease in air pollution. To corroborate, per forbes magazine, with use of bicycles in Switzerland the pollution has dropped at unprecedented scale from a half decade. Additionally,  unlike the bygone days , people are more aware about reducing, reusing and recycling things, so by applying these 3R's in life the culture  of throw away can be mitigated. Seemingly, there are plethora of other ways with which nature can be saved. 

To recapitulate, although to save  the environment using the local resources is a promising  development yet  other ways of car pooling,  use of bicycles , reduce reuse and recycle methods are unsurpassable . Needless to state, individuals should take initiative to protect the planet.
