Question

how can we control environmental degradation​

Answer 1

Answer:

The main reasons responsible for environmental degradation are as follows:

(i) Rapid Growth of Population:

One of the main causes of environmental degradation is population explosion or rapid growth of population. The pressure of population on land has increased at a high speed. As a result, land has been badly exploited. Moreover it has caused substantial conversion of forest land into land for industrial use or construction activity. (ii) Poverty of the Masses:

A large section of Indian population is very poor. These people cut trees to sell fuel wood to earn their livelihood and thereby exploit natural capital.

(iii) Increasing Urbanisation:

Increasing urbanisation has caused pressure on housing and other civic amenities. It has raised demand for land and excessive exploitation of other natural resources. (iv) Increasing Use of Insecticides and Pesticides:

The excessive use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides has also added to environmental pollution.

(v) Rapid Industrialisation:

Rapid industrialisation has also contributed to air, water and noise pollution. Industrial smoke is a serious pollutant. (vi) Multiplicity of Transport Vehicles:

Multiplicity of transport vehicles has substantially increased noise and air pollution not in cities but also in small towns of the country.

(vii) Disregard of Civil Norms:

The people in India do not try to maintain civil norms. Often, the roads are littered and loudspeakers are indiscriminately used. Environmental pollution is the common problem of every body. In short, environmental pollution is largely the consequence of rapid urbanisation and industrialisation. Moreover man’s disregard of civil norms has created many problems.
