Short note on environmental pollution for project
Answers
Everything that surrounds us constitutes the environment. Our natural environment includes – the air we breathe, the water, oceans, forests, soil, vegetation, other living species etc, all are part of the environment. Today, this environment is threatened by a number of human activities leading to “Environmental Pollution”.
Environmental Pollution
Incessant combustion of fossil fuels emits toxic gases, polluting the air; toxic waste is disposed by factories into our water bodies, rendering them unusable and damaging aquatic life; urbanization results in deforestation and hence poor air quality; littering of plastic waste damages the productivity of soil and pollutes water bodies.
Environmental pollution results in more serious consequences like – global warming, unexpected climatic changes, depletion of natural resources, species depletion, and various other adverse affects leading to a lowered sustainability of life on earth. Another prime contributor to the pollution of environment is plastic pollution. Plastic bags those are not disposed of properly, reach the soil and water bodies, polluting them and damaging dependent lives. Being non bio degradable plastic lingers around for years, rendering them useless.
Conclusion
If adequate measures are not taken today to control environmental damages, the day is not far when earth will become an arid planet unable to sustain life. Uncontrolled environmental pollution will soon lead to extreme climatic conditions and natural disasters like floods, famine etc. The nations must realize the urgency to make necessary policy changes and to raise awareness, taking adequate measures towards slowing down environmental pollution. There could be hundreds of examples of human induced environmental pollution, but finding a solution to them, also lies only on humans.
