Ten Simple Things You Can Do To Help Protect The Earth

Ten Simple Things You Can Do to Help Protect the Earth
 Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three "R's" to conserve natural
resources and landfill space.
 Volunteer. Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too.
 Educate. When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of
our natural resources.
 Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.
 Choose sustainable. Learn how to make smart seafood choices at www.fishwatch.gov.
 Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
 Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light
switch off when you leave the room!
 Plant a tree. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate
change.
 Don't send chemicals into our waterways. Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.
 Bike more. Drive less.
An environment is the natural world that surrounds us. It is very important to keep it clean in order to live healthy
and peaceful life. However, the environmental pollution has become one of the biggest threats for Earth. It can affect
our future one day. People suffer from their own mistakes. Pollution endangers our existence and destroys our living
environment. The future will either be green or not at all.
People are considered to be the most intelligent creatures on Earth who are able to learn new things in the universe
which can lead them to the technological advancement. It goes without saying that there are many benefits in
technological development for the economy but it also destroys our environment gradually. We develop technologies
and science to make our life better but we do not fall to thinking that it can ruin everything that surround us in the near
future. The destructive human activity cause several adverse effects on environment. The effects of pollution are
devastative. It is very important to explore the various types of pollution and all possible ways of their prevention in
order to make our planet a safe place for the growth and development of all living things.
Water pollution is one of the pivotal problems nowadays. A lot of garbage is thrown directly into the water.
Moreover, a lot of factories, mills, and plants discharge the untreated industrial wastes and other unsafe substances into
the water bodies. Water is also polluted by fertilizations and pesticides which are widely used in agriculture. The
contamination of the living environment leads to the deaths of the entire natural ecosystems. There are many
approaches to garbage utilization but most of the poor countries just don`t have enough money to introduce such up-to-
date technologies. Air pollution is another humanity`s challenge. The air we breathe has contaminated because of
uncontrolled release of harmful vehicular and industrial smokes. Burning fuels, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon
monoxide, and chemical vapors are the major pollutants of the air. Sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide cause a situation
called Global warming when the radiation is absorbed while the heat is prevented from escaping. Our environment also
suffers from noise pollution which has negative effects on people and wild species.
Environment plays a significant role in making our existence on the planet possible. Everything we use to live a full
life comes under the environment. We just can`t live without air, water, land, sunlight, animals, and other natural things.
Environmental pollution is affecting our lives physically, emotionally, socially, economically, and intellectually. It has
become a major worldwide issue which cannot be solved by the effort of one. We should do our best in order not to put
the end to the existence of all living things on earth. Every person on our planet should take a little step to save our
environment and maintain its originality.
We should reduce water wastage, save energy, use rechargeable batteries, reuse our old things in new ways, and
throw wastes properly to its place only. People use the components of the environment to fulfill their basic needs of
living. We should stop polluting and challenging our national resources to ensure sustainable living conditions for our
future generations. The usage of non-conventional sources of energy should be encouraged. Restriction on the use of
fossil fuels and pollution control laws should be imposed strictly. We have to control the emission of greenhouse gases
strictly to save our environment from the threat of Global warming.
The remarkable growth of technological progress has negative impact on the ecological state of our planet. The
work of factories and plants and the extraction of natural resources result in serious environmental problems that call
for radical actions for environmental rehabilitation and protection. The influence of the devastative human activity
shouldn`t be ignored. We should contribute every day to the preservation of our natural environment. Mankind should
be sure that technological advances would never disturb the ecological balance of the Earth. Environmental problems
should be handled by the united efforts of the global community. Nowadays, a lot of international summits, conferences,
and presentations are held to deal with recycling, waste treatment, and water and soil contamination. We should always
remember that environmental pollution is an incurable disease. It can only be prevented. So, let`s take care of the world
that surrounds us!
