Environmental Issues
Question 1: What is global warming, and how can it be reduced?
Response
Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the temperature of the atmosphere of the earth associated with the greenhouse effect as a result of the accumulation of chlorofluorocarbon, Carbon (IV) oxide, and other pollutants. There are various ways of preventing global warming, which include using renewable energies such as geothermal, wind, solar, and biogas instead of fossil fuels. We should also enhance sustainable public transportation, hydrogen, and electric mobility to reduce emissions of carbon (IV) oxide, and hence fight global warming. We should also promote sustainable forest and agriculture management by using natural resources and avoiding deforestation (Harvey, 2018).
Question 2: What is the importance of controlling water pollution?
Response
Water pollution refers to contaminating water bodies such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, mainly due to human activities. The primary sources of water pollution are industrial discharge, domestic waste, detergents, fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides. Other sources of water pollution include factories, refineries, and waste management facilities that release untreated residues and dangerous byproducts to water sources. It is essential to control water pollution to avoid waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid, elimination of aquatic animals through eutrophication, which reduces the amount of oxygen for marine life. We should prevent water pollution by treating sewages before disposing them to water bodies and using environment-friendly products that do not pollute the water.
Question 3: Which possible hashtags will you employ to campaign against water pollution and global warming?
Hashtags can be critical in promoting a campaign when used strategically, especially on twitter campaign by the use of hot topics and trends. They help to raise awareness about the primary purpose of the campaign to a broader audience and target a specific audience. The possible hashtags I can use for my campaign are #StopGlobalWarming, #ClimateChange, #SaveWaterBodies, #ClimateJustice, #EnvironmentallyFriendly, #SaveAquaticLife, and #GlobalWarmingisReal. My favorite hashtag is #EnvironmentallyFriendly because it will create awareness on the importance of conserving the water sources and the atmosphere
