Executive-Secretary

Dear Mr. Ban Ki-moon:

I want to open with you a discussion about modern technology and its implications on environment.
In my opinion, the industrialization and the technological advancement have affected the
environment in a negative way. Although I consider that industrial benefits have contributed to
higher living standards, we cannot deny that nowadays we face a mayor environmental violations
resulting from technology.

I think, the environmental pollution is a direct consequence of technology mismanagement.

Increased production of machines, weapons, manufacturing and processing industries has
contributed to an irreversible environmental degradation. Moreover, disposal of waste into rivers
and water systems by industries and other institutions have caused sever water pollution.

I would suggest you to address the governments all over the world to take urgent measures against
environmental degradations. These measures could be classified into four categories, namely,
institutional changes, direct controls, and economic/market-based instruments, and technological
measures. I know, with the modern lifestyle, it is impossible to eliminate environmental problems,
but we should at least try to minimize them and it should be the objective of our society. On the other
hand, all countries should include this objective in their national environmental policy. Keeping our
planet safe for us and for the future generations must be the priority.

Sincerely,

Olivia Nakary
