Our Earth is the only planet with the continuity of life so it is very important to generate a sense of urgency of saving our mother earth from all sorts of planet harming activities. Our mother earth needs to be saved because our survival depends completely on this planet. It is our responsibility as humans living on this beautiful earth to raise awareness and bring action about saving our mother earth.
Earth provides every resource for sustaining living things and inanimate things. Our human activities are causing an irreversible damage to the environment and all living things which results in degrading the condition of this planet. By taking care of this planet, we can improve our well-being as healthy environment will help in improving the quality of our life. It is our responsibility to raise public responsibility and awarness regarding saving mother earth.
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. There are three types of recycling mechanical, energy, and chemical which are subdivided into smaller categories. The environmental importance of recycling is that gasses are released from landfills. Habitat destruction and global warming are some of the affects caused by deforestation. Recycling helps save the planet and is also cost efficient. There are so many benefits from recycling it reduces waste in landfills, prevents pollution, saves energy. Recycling also creates jobs which in return helps the community and the environment.
Recycling has a 3 steps process first is collecting and processing there are many methods for collecting. After collecting its sent to a facility for sorting and processing. Next, is manufacturing more and more of todays products are being manufactured with recycled materials. Finally, purchasing new products from recycled materials. You can help close the recycling loop by buying new products made from recycled materials. There are tons of items that are made with recycled materials just look for items that are easily recycled and items that contain recycled content. There are many items that can be recycled like paper, plastic, glass, and metals.Everyone needs to do there part to save Mother Earth and Start Recycle! If we can just get one person to start recycling then that's a step in the right direction. We do not just need to talk about recycling but take action. Mother earth is a very sensitive and fragile place and we must do everything in our power to help clean and save our planet.
Air pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. The most common cause of air pollution is car emissions, factories, power plants. We must try to control these pollution going into the air. There are many types of hazardous air pollutants. Lead in large amount can damage the brain and kidneys. Mercury affects the nervous system. Polycyclic aromatic are toxic components from traffic exhaust and wildfires smoke and in large amounts have been linked to eye and lung irritation. The forest and rainforest can not protect themselves so is it up to us to stop the spread of wildfires and pollution going into our air.
Greenhouse gases are where the earths heat is trapped in the atmosphere this leads to warmer temperatures, rising seas, and extreme weather. The effects of air pollution is smog or soot. Smog or ground kevel ozone happens when emission from combusting fossil fuels react with sunlight. It can irritate the eyes and throat Snoot is made of up tiny particles of chemicals, solid, smoke, dust in the form of gas or solid that is carried into the air. The source of them both are similar they both come from car, trucks, factories, power plants. There are many thing you can do to reduce air pollution. The less gas we burn the better. Think about transportation, are you able to walk ride a bike carpool? if you must drive consider buying a electric car. Buy your food local which cuts down on fossil fuels for truckers. Lastly support the leaders who push for cleaner air.
Water pollution is one of our biggest and most important issue here of planet earth. Water pollution is the contamination of bodies of water like rivers, lakes, ocean. It is usually a result of human behavior. For years humans have been polluting our waters and endangering us and all the animals who live in the water. Our oceans are our biggest concerns with millions of garbage getting dumped into our oceans daily which is affecting the sea animals which in return is affecting our eco system. Our planet needs the oceans are their animals to survive. Garbage is getting entangled around many sea animals with no one to help. The only way to help is to stop throwing trash into our oceans and start cleaning the ocean and the beaches. Oil spills is also a big concern for polluting our waters like the Exxon Valdez which released more then 260,000 barrels of oil into the ocean or the Deep Water Horizon oil rig which released 4 million barrels into the Gulf of Mexico. These waters will never be able to recover from these incidents.
Another big issue is domestic sewage this presents a different type of threat. When organisms are decompose naturally in the sewage by bacteria and other microorganisms, the dissolved oxygen content of the water is depleted thus endangering the quality of lakes and rivers, where high levels of oxygen is required. Sewage Treatment process reduces the pathogens but it does not eliminate them completely. Domestic sewage is also a major source of plant nutrients. We need to stand together and come up with better ways to clean and keep our waters clean!
Trees are very important they help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world's animals. Tress clean the air we breathe through their leaves and bark, they absorb harmful pollutants and release clean oxygen for us to breathe. In urban environments, trees absorb pollutant gases like nitrogen oxides, ozone, and carbon monoxide, and sweep up particles like dust and smoke. We are increasing the levels of carbon dioxide caused by deforestation and fossil fuel combustion which is trapping the heat in the atmosphere. Healthy, strong trees act as carbon sinks, offset carbon and reducing the effects of climate change. Planting more trees and saving the ones we have are very important. Bring awareness and knowledge will help save the planet for a beautiful future.
Trees have a very important role in capturing rainwater and reducing the risk of natural disasters like floods and landslides. The trees intricate root systems acts like filters, removing pollutants and slowing down the water’s absorption into the soil. This process helps prevent landslides, erosion, and flooding
A single tree can be home to hundreds of species of insect, fungi, moss, mammals, and plants. Depending on the kind of food and shelter they need, different forest animals require different types of habitat. Without trees, forest creatures would have nowhere to call home. Now a days with many forrest getting dempolished and all the fires it now more important then ever to save the trees, plant more tress and bring awareness of the importance of saving the forest, rainforest, and trees.
