The environment
All of us have decisions to make when it comes to the environment. Many choose to ignore the facts about climate change and the difference each of us can make if we decide to make more decisions while being conscious about the environment. Even little things like carpooling with a co-worker instead of taking two cars makes a big difference to help save our environment. If everyone works together our environment can be saved and be habitable for future generations to come. The less we pollute our environment, the more we prevent global warming and there are many ways to do your part to prevent our planet from premature extinction.
It is important to save the environment because all living beings are dependent on it. The trends of environmental pollution have already compromised the lives of some animate objects on Earth. The threat to life has forced living things to survive but survival is not possible for all organisms therefore deaths have been experienced, which needs to be prevented. The food we consume such as milk, eggs, and vegetables come from animals and plants, which is provided to us by the environment. We as humans have a blindspot to the amount of dependence we have on our environment.
Losing the environment would lead to our extinction so we need to act fast to take steps towards saving our environment. For example, we should try to minimize contamination and toxicants in water, air, soil, and structures. We should also look at the conservation of biodiversity, which can be conserved by reducing or eliminating fertilizers/pesticides, reuse and recycle, and many other ways we can help. We also have to look at jeopardized species and how we can help them. Fossil fuels are depleting natural resources that can’t be renewed so you can help reduce the amount being used by carpooling or walking/cycling to places nearby to you. There are many different ways we can help save our environment.
There are a lot of challenges in saving the environment because it has been greatly damaged and it requires a lot of effort to restore it. Climate change affects the process of restoration. For example, planting trees might not be favored by the climate to grow back as we would expect. Another challenge we face is we have over-exhausted most of the non-renewable resources like coal, minerals, and oils. To help save our planet we need to switch over to eco-friendly energy sources such as solar power and hydropower. We face many challenges when it comes to saving the environment but it isn’t impossible.
By saving our environment we are only saving ourselves. We contribute to pollution everyday whether it be knowingly or unknowingly. Therefore, it is important that we work together to get involved in activities that help save the planet like recycling and avoidance of wastage of natural resources. We must check for measures to stop the rising level of water in the oceans due to global warming. An expanding number of associations are coming together to keep the planet and us from an untimely annihilation. Finally, we must understand that the movement to save the environment starts from us and we shouldn’t wait for others to take initiative before it is too late.
