How to Protect and Save Environment
Explanation:
Mineral and Energy Resources: The energy extracted from various minerals including coal, oil, and various fossil fuels is used massively in power generation plants and also in vehicles, which contribute majorly towards air pollution. In order to prevent the air borne diseases caused by their extraction and consumption, the use of the renewable resources like sunlight, wind and tidal energy must be promoted.
Forest Resources: Forests play a very vital role in preventing soil erosion and also reduces the effects of drought as they prevent the running off of the rain water from the ground. Moreover, they not only keep the climatic conditions under control but also maintain carbon dioxide levels for the living organism.
Water Resources: The aquatic ecosystems are used by people for their daily chores, such as drinking, cooking, washing etc. and the water cycle maintains it through evaporation and precipitation. However, fresh water is being overly consumed by man and wasted because of deforestation (floods). It is also getting polluted at a massive rate. In order to prevent water crisis in the near future, a number of measures need to be taken, which include building of small reservoirs instead of mega projects, promoting drip irrigation, preventing leakages, treating and recycling municipal waste.
Food Resources: The various technologies used during the green revolution that helped in reducing starvation by booming the production of crops, in actuality degraded the quality of soil. Thus, sustainable methods of food production need to be used that include using alternates to inorganic fertilizers and pesticides, promoting consumption of crops that grow on poor soil, etc.
