"No air traffic is great for the environment. Do you agree?"
Ein ziemlich schweres Thema finde ich. Argumente gegen und für Flugverkehr zu finden ist nicht so schwer, aber diese müssen gleichzeitig einen Zusammenhang zur Umwelt haben, was die ganze Sache schwerer macht. Ich habe letztendlich aber doch noch 4 Argumente gefunden.
Diese Erörterung ist zum Glück nicht ganz so lang wie die anderen von mir. Hoffe es findet sich jemand, der sie sich mal durchliest und kommentiert
The closure of the airspace over Europe shows us how much we depend on aircrafts. It shows us also that a life without air traffic isn`t manageable. Unfortunately aircrafts are big polluters because they produce much emissions. Could it be an option to relinquish aircrafts to help the environment?
Aircrafts need strong turbines to get up in the air. These turbines waste a lot of petrol wherefore they produce very much carbon emissions. On average an aircraft needs approximately 2000 liters of kerosine per 100 kilometers. Compared with a car this is gigantic. And because of that big consumption the emissions are big too. It would be better for the environment if we didn‘t go by plane anymore which leads me to my next argument.
If we don`t go by plane how will we travel? Railway could be an alternative especially electrical trains. A train which is powered by electricity don´t produces any pollution. Only the generating of this energy could produce that. For the future of the earth we depend on renewable energies. If we use that energy to run trains it will be an environmentally friendly alternative. But also today with our coal power stations trains are more environmentally aware than airplanes.
But the problem is that we depend on the airplanes. You couldn‘t travel from Hamburg to New York by train. An alternative could be ships but they are slow and also not very friendly to the environment. Thus the only way to get to New York is by plane. It`s also of economic importance that we can transport our letters and goods by plane. If we could not send our goods by plane it will need 4 or 5 weeks to send a package by ship to the USA or even longer if you want to send it to China. This would be fatally for the economy.
Summarized we can say that our whole life depends on aircrafts. They produce much emissions but our life would be worse if we didn`t have them. One possibility to travel, send goods by plane and save the planet at once could be that we only use a plane if there is no other way. If there are alternative means of transportation we have to use them instead of planes.
Wie immer schonmal vielen Dank!!!!
