Environmental Challenges
Our environment is the natural world and our surroundings consisting of land, air, water, trees, animals, etc. This environment, we were given in legacy and as a gift by the universe in perfect state with clear and healthy water, pure air, land and abundant natural resources.
However, man has been harming this beautiful environment in the name of industrialization and urbanization. He has been cutting trees and trees in millions of acres of forests; he has installed manufacturing units on the banks of life-giving rivers; these manufacturing monsters spew toxic smoke into the atmosphere whose air all humans and animals breathe.
In his greed to earn more profit man omits to treat the toxic effluents before releasing them into rivers, lakes, oceans, etc.; he ignores the most important fact of preserving the purity of environment.
The shocking truth is our environment has been irreparably damaged by man’s recklessness! Man-made monsters such as global warming, land, air, and water pollutions, population explosion, deforestation, etc. may swallow our planet anytime!
The only hope of the survival of the planet lies in treating the planet, its environment, ecology, animals, plants and trees reverently. Our environment needs more respect and care from us! Otherwise utter annihilation waits us. All of us need to make environmental preservation our first priority, only then will we be able to restore it.
Lastly, we must modify our developmental strategies. We must ensure no damage to the environment while modifying or using the natural resources. We must adopt the principles of sustainable development. Only then will we be able to save the environment and our own existence.
Explanation:
Environment is the visible or non-visible surroundings which support life on this earth. This earth is full of natural surroundings, some are biotic and some are non biotic. Biotic element is that element that has life like human, bird, animal, plants and micro organisms. Whereas abiotic elements are those which have no life like air, sunlight, water, land, soil, minerals, etc. Element comes in categories of biotic and abiotic, further can be divided among four types of sphere like Biosphere, Hydrosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere
Biotic and abiotic elements reacts with each other in some manner like fresh water, sunlight and soil are used for growing plants same as plants produce oxygen that is highly required by all the living organisms existed on this earth. Human beings use all the available natural resources in different manner for better living on earth.
At its initial stage this earth was so beautiful and full of natural resources that we even cannot describe. But, as time passed, due to increased population the requirement of resources has also been increased and now the current situation is so worst that we cannot surely say that for how much time we would be able to use these resources as they are continuously disappearing from the earth.
Use of natural resources should be carefully planned and executed. It is completely wrong to cut the forest as trees are the key operator of natural cycle. Forest cutting may cause the poor situation of drought, increased heating temperature, unstable seasons, uncertain rainfall, flood, decreased agricultural quality or the worst one “global warming” which is completely not acceptable for the existence of life on earth..
