"Environmental degradation is taking place globally. What measures do you
suggest to protect environment?
Answers
Answer:
In general, the primary cause of environmental degradation is human disturbance of natural ecosysytems and natural processes.
When we cut down trees(deforestation) for new homes because of human population growth and need for expansion, all the animals habitats that live their are destroyed. This completly changes the way the ecosystem operates.
The general Solution:
The economies of every country worldwide need to invest in some environmental restoration. In the U.S their are some ecosystem restoration projescts going on but not enough.
In terms of air pollution, Fossil fuels are the number one contibutor
to emissions. The best way to cobat fossil fuels is using renewable energy. This includes solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, and many more.
The problem:
Countries are immediatly very hesitant to do this because it costs a lot of money to convert to clean energy and once you switch to clean energy all the people working in the fossil fuels industry will not have those jobs anymore.
