Environmental Issues
The environment plays a significant role to support life on earth. But there are some
issues that are causing damages to life and the ecosystem of the earth. It is related to the
not only environment but with everyone that lives on the planet. Besides, its main source
is pollution, global warming, greenhouse gas, and many others. The everyday activities of
human are constantly degrading the quality of the environment which ultimately results in the
loss of survival condition from the earth.
Over the last few decades, it is an irrefutable point that the environment is exposed
to many dangers. These dangers are tremendously progressed due to advanced
processes which caused myriad issues. In this essay, I will discuss the causes that are
harming the environment and I will determine who should struggle against them.
To begin with, there are many behave and reasons in the environment which cause
inevitable consequences such as pollution. First and foremost, the factories which are
producing black smokes are the very effective reason, they make no efforts to minimize
the pollution. In addition, the vital and common issue is greenhouses emissions.
Moreover, there are not enough studies in this field. Hence, people still don’t have
the awareness to protect the environment. At last but not least, the garbage is being
burned commonly causing serious consequences.
Further reinforcing, many sides share the responsibility with different percentages. Firstly,
the governments are the first responsible party since they have the ability to stop these
behave legally. Also, the individuals who share in climate change causes. For instance,
the owners of greenhouses.
There are hundreds of issue that causing damage to the environment. But in this, we
are going to discuss the main causes of environmental issues because they are very
dangerous to life and the ecosystem.
Pollution – It is one of the main causes of an environmental issue because it poisons
the air, water, soil, and noise. As we know that in the past few decades the numbers of
industries have rapidly increased. Moreover, these industries discharge their untreated
waste into the water bodies, on soil, and in air. Most of these wastes contain harmful and
poisonous materials that spread very easily because of the movement of water bodies and
wind.
Greenhouse Gases – These are the gases which are responsible for the increase in
the temperature of the earth surface. This gases directly relates to air pollution because of
the pollution produced by the vehicle and factories which contains a toxic chemical that
harms the life and environment of earth.
Climate Changes – Due to environmental issue the climate is changing rapidly and things
like smog, acid rains are getting common. Also, the number of natural calamities is also
increasing and almost every year there is flood, famine, drought, landslides, earthquakes,
and many more calamities are increasing.
Above all, human being and their greed for more is the ultimate cause of all the
environmental issue.
It is mainly due to human activities that the planet has reached unsustainable
levels and now it is our duty and responsibility to lower the loss that has been already
done to nature. Every individual could play a significant role to combat this problem.
Now we know the major issues which are causing damage to the environment. So,
now we can discuss the ways by which we can save our environment. For doing so we have
to take some measures that will help us in fighting environmental issues.
Moreover, these issues will not only save the environment but also save the life and
ecosystem of the planet. Some of the ways of minimizing environmental threat are
discussed below:
Reforestation – It will not only help in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem but also
help in restoring the natural cycles that work with it. Also, it will help in recharge of
groundwater, maintaining the monsoon cycle, decreasing the number of carbons from the
air, and many more.
The 3 R’s principle – For contributing to the environment one should have to use the 3 R’s
principle that is Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Moreover, it helps the environment in a lot of
ways.
We use the enormous amount of plastic in our daily life so let’s say ‘No’ to plastics.
Instead of plastic, we can make use of Eco-friendly substitutes that are readily available
everywhere. For example: Use paper and cloth bags for shopping.
The government of every country should implement strict laws for industries that
inhibit the release of the toxic wastes and proper waste management. The awareness
programs should be organized to encouraging citizens to use more of public transport
and plant trees in their neighborhood. The less use of private vehicles will substantially
reduce the emission of fossil fuels thereby playing a vital role in addressing this issue.
To conclude, we can say that humans are a major source of environmental issues.
Likewise, our activities are the major reason that the level of harmful gases and pollutants
have increased in the environment. But now the humans have taken this problem seriously
and now working to eradicate it. Above all, if all humans contribute equally to the
environment then this issue can be fight backed. The natural balance can once again be
restored.
We should also use lead free petrol and replace plastic bags by cotton bags.
Recycling of waste plays major role in reducing pollution.
It should be practiced on large scale for protection of environment. It is very important to
create awareness among public about these issues.
Protection of environment is only possible when every single person play his role
for it. Electronic and print media should create awareness in this regard and every
person should try to keep his environment clean and green.
