Although most of today’s advertisements are online, many newspapers, magazines, and general mail contain paper advertisements.  Those ads are largely ignored by the public and immediately thrown in the trash, or if we are lucky, recycled.  Yet, companies continue to cut down forests and emit greenhouse gases in the hope that consumers will be inspired to buy their product.  This is also a problem.  Most people are obsessed with acquiring the latest technology, coolest clothes, or any other non-essential material goods that might be advertised.  People define themselves as the living embodiment of the things they own; therefore, they will buy goods simply to showcase their personality, wealth, or interests.  This does not become a problem until we start buying products that serve no functional purpose or replace items before it is physically necessary.  Advertisements convince people that the goods they own are inadequate and that they should buy the next best thing.  The production of the innumerable useless goods on the market causes CO2 emissions to skyrocket, especial ly because multiple competing companies produce the same useless goods.

A suggestion to eliminate some of this waste is to abolish paper advertisements.  Another idea is to limit the number of companies producing the same goods to two or three companies.  That way there is less CO2 emissions, but the companies cannot increase the price to an unreasonable level because they still compete with each other.  The limited competition will also ensure that scientific advancements continue to be made.

Your thoughts about advertisement accelerate the emission of CO2 were very completed. Your first point was about to abolish the use of paper advertising, and here is another way I thought could be used to solve this problem—citizens should be taught to throw away paper trashes in those recycling trash cans which in order to recycle the can-return resources. And the other point you have explained was that advertisements have been used by companies to convince costumers purchase their products and that made people buy things that are not necessary for them. Then the solution you gave was to limit the producing the same products to two or three companies, but this measure will abate the economic vitality of society, and billions of people are living on them. My suggestion to this point was to educate citizens and enable them have the judgements of whether it is a necessity or not. So in conclusion parts of those two problems that caused by advertisement can be solved by great education to citizens.
