Andrew Lam, in his article, “Waste More, Want More, argues, “not long ago, frugality was a virtue. Now, two-thirds of our economy is based on consumption. In the age of melting glaciers and rising sea levels, in an age where polar bears drown, frogs die en masse, coral reefs disappear and biodiversity dwindles along with forestland. We’re in the age, that is, of global warming, where hurricanes ravage cities and towns—our way of life has become unsustainable. It has created an unprecedented crisis on a planetary scale.” Write an essay about the extent to which you agree with Lam’s claim that individuals contribute to the damage of the environment. Support your position with reasons, explanations, and examples.
