Question

an article on how can we create awareness about reducing pollution together

Answer 1

POLLUTION ARTICLESARTICLE ON POLLUTION 1 (300 WORDS)

Anything added to the environment that results in producing the harmful or poisonous effect on living things is called pollution. Pollution is the process that makes nature’s resources such as land, water, air or other parts of the environment unsafe or unsuitable to use. Pollution can be of many types:  soil, air, water, thermal, radioactive, noise, and light. The toxins released are inhaled by each one of us while we breathe.

Pollution and its Causes

Inhaling poisonous air is as hazardous as smoking. It is not only the humans who are affected by this polluted environment but also the animals. Air is filled with highly toxic gases. These dangerous gases in the environment are released by the power industries that burn fossil fuels, industries that dispose of wastes in the water, farmers using pesticides, high usage of artificial lights and loud sounds, etc. Each of these leads to the generation of the life-threatening cause – pollution.

Any use of natural resources at a rate higher than nature’s capacity to restore itself can result in pollution of air, water, and land. Other than human activities, there are a few periodic natural cycles that also result in the release of dangerous stuff. Natural activities other than the human activities like a volcanic eruption, dust wildfires, etc also result in the creation of pollution.

Globalization is another major cause of pollution. Globalization has become an effective facilitator of environmental degradation.

Conclusion

Every individual owns the certain responsibility of maintaining few points such as not throwing garbage all around, growing trees, using public transport instead of their own, etc. We must shun excessive consumption and avoid careless and deliberate disposal of post-consumption waste resources which could otherwise be recycled and would lead to pollution control.

Pollution cannot be reduced or controlled if a sense of responsibility towards our Mother Earth is not felt by all concerned.

 

Answer 2

it has to start at home. Educate and practice, that is the only way it can be inculcated into the psyche of people. We all have to contribute to it, not only the government. We all always try to do things easier way. But if we first start thinking about our convenience and the environment for any action that we do probably it will help. So the change has to come in the way people start thinking about it. A few things probably we all develop that will help environment.
1. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle – the three R’s
2. Use as far as possible locally produced groceries, goods and services.
3. Make each community as self-supporting as possible.
It should involve planning, action, and communication of the specific idea concerned related to environmental protraction, its logic, and how it will benefit people. It should involve short-term and long-term measures. The following can be done in this regards:

--Make it one of the top priority of the government
--It should be taught to all children from primary to middle class as core subject
--This should not be just symbolic; but must imbibe instilling a realistic concern in all children
--There should be awards and recognition for children who show good work in this regard
--Promoting the idea through stories as ads on TV and radio
--Planting saplings of trees; every tree cut for development projects must be replaced by planting at least 50-100 saplings. 
--Participating by government at international level and adopting the action plan in government policies
--Awards, recognition and incentives for industrial set ups at green sites, and those who take initiatives for environment protection
