ENVIORMENTAL ISSUES

Mother Earth is currently facing a tremendous amount of environmental concerns. Some problems include global warming, air pollution, water pollution, waste disposal, deforestation, climate change and much more. These major issues are affecting every human, animal, and nation on this planet.The effect that humanity has on the environment is becoming ever-more important. However, mankind’s actions have not been in favor of protecting the planet and natural disasters are continuously multiplying every year. 

Climate change is defined as a significant and long-lasting change in the Earth's climate and weather patterns. It has become more obvious over the past few decades. When humans are burning fossil fuels, farming livestock, and cutting down forests, it increases the greenhouse effect and global warming because of the amount of gasses being poured out into the atmosphere. Clear indications of climate change include irregularities in weather, frequent storms, melting glaciers, rising levels of the sea etc. These extremely dangerous changing conditions put our health, agriculture, water supply and much more at risk. 

       Pollution is the most recognizable, yet ignored environmental issue. Air pollution can be attributed to the large amount of carbon dioxide that gets pumped into the atmosphere by industries and vehicles. Water pollution and land pollution is caused as a result of waste disposal from factories, oil-carrying vessels, sewage, large components of garbage, landfills and much  more. Mankind is to be blamed for these issue because our activities tend to destroy the environment at an alarming rate. If these actions continue, we will be left without any fresh air to breathe or clean water to drink.

      These issues will only increase if drastic measures are not taken. People need to stop being in denial because the proof is right in front of their faces. Our Earth is slowly dying and it is our job to tend to her wounds and keep her going on a healthy path. We do not want to wait until it it too late to come to the realization that all of our dangerous activities are harming our home. Recycling is one of the most effective solutions in saving habitats, reducing pollution, and lessening landfill waste. We need to do a better job at conserving our water and electricity. Replacing disposable items with reusable ones can also make a hug difference. Change needs to happen soon rather than later.
