Steem engagement challenge-S10/W5| The three significant reasons behind environmental pollution.
Hello Beautiful people!
What are the three significant reasons behind environmental pollution? Describe.
1.Industrialisation:
The most significant reason behind environmental pollution in today's time is industrialisation. With time industrialisation begins many things change and with this change humans and their environment have faced many difficulties and challenges.
Industrialisation means more industries which simply means that more industries will be there and more chemicals will be released in the environment. to rivers which will contribute to water pollution and some of the Chemicals that come out of industries are in the form of smoke which creates air pollution.
So we can say that industrialisation is not in one way but in many ways contributing to environmental pollution which is increasing day by day.
2. Air Pollution:
Air population is another significant reason behind environmental pollution. As we all know, the world's population is increasing day by day, especially in developing countries. When we talk about increasing population there comes many things in our minds such as more consumption of energy, more occupation of land, increase in use of resources and deforestation.
All these things contribute to an increase in environmental pollution, when there will be more people there will be a need for more resources and when natural resources are used in abundance it harms our natural environment.
More population requires more land to live and for that the forests are removed and hence deforestation occurs and many places which automatically contribute and increase in environmental pollution.
3. Modern agricultural Practices:
Another reason for environmental pollution in the modern time is the modern agriculture practices that people are introducing nowadays. many agriculture practices such as use of artificial Technology, use of pesticides in the crops and use of chemical fertilisers for increasing the growth of their crops.
Apparently there is nothing wrong in using fertilisers for increasing the growth of the crops because it will provide more yield and less time but we ignore the problems that these chemical fertilisers are creating and damaging our soil and environment.
Other practices such as increasing the number of livestock also damages our environment because livestock Produce a great amount of Methane gas which is one of the greenhouse gases.This contributes and increases the environmental pollution. Hence all the practices that are now done in the modern Times for the betterment of the crops and livestock but have more side effects.
How can we prevent environmental pollution?
Sustainability:
Prevent environmental pollution we should start moving towards sustainable practices. all the things that we use should be sustainable which means they should not harm the environment and control the use of resources which will be there for the coming generation. Sustainability is a long term use of resources through which we can use resources and also keep them secure for the upcoming generation.
Sustainable Agriculture:
Assign mention above that modern agriculture practices are contributing largely to environmental pollution. Moving towards sustainable agriculture practices can help decrease environmental pollution. All the fertilisers and other waste of livestock should be managed in a proper way that helps us decrease environmental pollution.
Awareness:
There should be awareness implementation, we should avoid people about the after effects of environmental pollution which can harm all living things in different ways. We should educate people through different social media platforms and awareness sessions should be arranged in the education institutes so the new generation should know how to protect their environment.
Clean Energy Use:
We should decrease the use of non renewable energy sources and should move towards renewable sources of energy. Energy generation contributes largely to environmental pollution and if the sources of energy generation are renewable such as using solar energy, wind energy etc can help decrease environmental pollution and different forms.
Share your opinion on how environmental pollution impacts all living creatures, including humans.
There are many impacts of environmental pollution on the living creatures including humans some of them are;
Climate change:
With change in time we are experiencing that climate change is occurring and now the climate does not change the way it used to change in the past. Nowadays the Temperature is increasing at a very high speed and is not actually how it should be. It is all because of climate change that is occurring because of environmental pollution.
Marine life:
Increased environmental pollution such as water pollution specifically targets marine life. All the animals living inside the water are the target of water pollution, increase and water pollution decreases their chances of surviving in the polluted water and hence their life Span decreases and marine life in large quantities are decreasing around the world because of water pollution.
Human health:
Environmental pollution is Dangerous for all living things but it is directly impacting human health. through water pollution water is contaminated which is consumed by humans and their health is affected through it. Also through environmental pollution air is also contaminated with hazardous substances which are not good for human health and we are continuously inhaling those substances which are creating different illnesses inside our bodies.
Have you ever taken part to keep your environment clean?
Yes yes I always support such activities in which we try to educate people to protect our environment. A few months ago I voluntarily participated in an activity in which we made Some shopping bags at home from the waste of clothes.
It will entire was given a task to made 10 to 20 bags at home, lekin I do stitching so I had a lots of small pieces of clothes and I made about 15 shopping bags from cloth and then we distributed it in our Straits with a message that we all can make one shopping bag for yourself which you can use while going for groceries or bringing other things from the market.
Share one message that all humans should keep in their mind; to keep the environment healthy.
I will share one of the things that I have learned in my life about the protection of the environment. We all want to keep our house clean. We do Dusting and wash all the things that are dirty in our house. If we think of our environment as our home and try not to produce any extra waste such as throwing plastic wrappers and other stuff around that contribute to increase in the environmental pollution our environment will be protected. We all should consider the environment as our second home and take care of it as we take care of our own house and cannot tolerate any dirt inside.
I would like to invite my friends @jyotithelight, @shohana1 and @malikusman1 to participate in the contest.
Asi es amig@, la industrialización y la modernidad aunque con sus ventajas, traen también considerables desventajas y la contaminación ambiental es una de ellas; sin embargo, la inconciencia humana continua siendo el principal aliado de este flagelo. Saludos cordiales y exitos!
Sí, estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo, los humanos están haciendo todas esas actividades que dañan su propio entorno.
Muchas gracias por tomarse nuestro tiempo y leer mi publicación.
¡Saludos!
Hello, you have well written your content on pollution and your markdowns are wonderful.
As you mention the 3 major practices which is contributing to pollution which is Industrialization, Air pollution and modern agriculture practices.
Industrial chemical are destroying our aquatic life and the contaminated river water affects our crops.
Air pollution is also cause by these industrial practices and also by vehicles. Moreover, as you mentioned use of pesticides is also affecting the crops and also the water drained to river which affects aquatic life again. These issues and practices should be and new method should be followed e.g. renewable methods for wastes and genetic engineering for pests control.
Your this effort is wonderful and people should also do such resembling practices to contribute in decreasing of pollution
Thank you so much dear, I am glad you appreciated what we did. I will also participate in such campaigns in the future for our better environment.
Thanks for stopping by!
Steem on.
Estimada amiga creo que todos coincidimos con que la industrialización es uno de los factores más contaminantes que existen no obstante es necesario un país industrializado y sin duda alguna que aporta beneficios económicos y sociales pero el pago al precio de esto es sin duda alguna la contaminación. Te deseo éxitos y bendiciones.
