How Europe can save the World

Main summary
The EU countries are trying to reduce the carbon emissions by 20% by 2020. They will do that by using renewable energy such as water tidal power and biofuels . However, renewable energy is expensive and it poses environmental dilemmas, for example wind farms disturb natural habitats. By 2010 cars’ carbon emissions should be reduced and power stations should eliminate it. Britain is introducing a climate change bill which will reduce the emissions by 60% by year 2050. In December the UN will convene the key meeting in Indonesia that will involve most of the world’s countries to address this matter because the world is at risk and work should be done about it. Other countries will only have to follow if the EU countries succeed, and if that happens the EU has promised to lift its targets by another 10 %.

Main idea
EU countries are some of the leading countries in the world. They are trying to reduce the carbon emissions in the coming years by using renewable energy such as water and air; many other solutions are also given and they need to be addressed soon so they can work on them. Other countries in the world are following the EU countries’ lead by reducing carbon emissions too.

My opinion
In my opinion I think the world should react to this matter because it is a critical matter and we all should work together so we can provide a better life for our next generation. I also support the EU’s hard work in reducing the carbon emissions. Their hard work will be shown in the next years when other countries will be acting like them. However to have the effect by 2020 all countries should work as soon as possible.
