Question

Write an essay on environment environmental challenge we are facing today

Answer 1

Wind and water pollution, global warming due to carbon dioxide emission and use of non-biodegradable material are among the main environmental challenges that we are facing today.

We have to breathe air in order for our body to get a regular supply of oxygen. When the air gets polluted with SPM or suspended particulate matter we tend to suffer from asthma and other lung and heart problems.The atmosphere also has a lot of infectious germs floating in it and this causes no less harm to the human body, like pneumonia and tuberculosis.

The water in some parts of the country contains arsenic, far in excess of tolerable limits for the human body. Unless this is checked or improved upon, people will continue to be maimed for life. The Government should work towards supplying clean, germ-free drinking water across the country as more and more wells and ponds are becoming sources of water not fit for human consumption.

Industrial, commercial and domestic waste must be treated and/or recycled in order to check effluents and wastes from becoming a bigger source for human decay and death. Bio-waste and municipal waste must be tackled properly so that they do not become a source of suffering for humanity. Stagnant water sources like pits, manholes etc must not be kept open as they could turn out to be the ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, who would continue to merrily spread diseases like malaria and dengue. Plastic and other synthetic material that are not bio-degradable must be recycled.  

Answer 2

The environmental challenges the world faces have never been greater or more complex. And never before have we lived in such an uncertain political climate.

Recent world events, such as the U.S. presidential election and Brexit, indicate that global action on climate change and other environmental issues could face stronger political headwinds in the years ahead.

But now is no time to back down. Now is the time to step up and forge ahead.

Soon more than 9 billion people will share our planet. Increasing demands for food, water, energy and infrastructure are pushing nature to its limits. And the impacts of climate change are touching down everywhere we look.

Against this backdrop, our scientists recently took a hard look at whether we really can have it all—a future where people get the food, energy and economic growth they need without sacrificing nature.The answer is “yes”—but only if we do things right.What emerged from our analysis was a set of key challenges facing people and nature that we must address to achieve that vision. First, we need to address climate change once and for all. Second, we need to increase food production while freezing agricultural expansion and keeping global fisheries healthy. And third, we need to focus on cities—helping them grow sustainably while maintaining healthy lands and waters.During the year ahead we plan to sharpen our focus on these areas. At The Nature Conservancy, we believe nature-based solutions can play an important role in addressing these big challenges. The road ahead won’t be easy, but by investing in nature, we think we can find common-ground solutions that are good for biodiversity, good for the economy and good for people.
