Advancement in Technology Increased the Use of Fossil Fuel

Pollution is one of the most concerning topics to talk about in today's modern world. It acts as a poison for anything that lives and breathes; it could toxify water, air, land, humans, and animals, and is not to be taken lightly.

This book is the story of an opportunistic approach to remedy and adapt to the drastic changes humanity has caused to the Earth while also embracing the role humans play in the Anthropogenic era. Humans will always continue to build environments, but the concern now is how are we going to build better environments. These issues will challenge humanity and question our values. How we build the environment around us in the future will be based on whether or not embracing the Anthropogenic era will indeed lead to a sustainable planet or just be a quick fix to the deeper issues of human behavior that have led us astray from maintaining a sustainable planet.

In the decade of the 1970s, the United Nations organized several important meetings on the human environment to study a very serious problem . We humans are destroying the world around us . We are using up all of our natural resources . We must learn to conserve them, or life will be very bad for our children and our grandchildren .

Earth is an impressive planet. It existed long before the humans came to dominate its lands, and continue to exist—although for how much longer is up for debate—and function despite the unending damage and turmoil caused by those living on it; the human race subjugated the lands and waters, built homes and spread wastes, and created chaos and mayhem to what was once serene and beautiful.

We are taught about the relation of human beings with their environment from the early days of our schooling. But what we have achieved is failure in protecting our environment.We have not, as a species, come to grips with the explosive events that have changed our relationship with the planet. For most of human existence, we lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers whose impact on nature could be absorbed by the resilience of the biosphere. Even after the Agricultural Revolution 10,000

With an ever growing human population and an ever developing world of technology, humans have found new ways to change the dynamics of the natural world for their own benefit.

Pollution is a big factor in the destruction of our environment, and it is an issue that has been going on since the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. The main cause of industrial pollution was factories, which made up about 21% of the world’s total

Our earth, where we are born, where we grow, where we live, is our home. We as humans interconnect with the environment by influencing and affecting each other. Our responsibility is to cherish and take care of our home. We are stewards over the earth and we should preserve the earth and its natural resources, but we cannot have a reliable planet if populations are growing out of control. E.O. Wilson said, “We are in a bottleneck of over population and wasteful consumption that could push half of the Earth’s species to extinction in this century.” (1)

Pollution, especially as it relates to the emission of greenhouse gases, is one of the most pressing issues facing humanity

Humans have altered the face of earth more than any other species, and the pace of change is only growing. Our most conspicuous influence is on land, where 80 percent of Earth’s surface has been affected by human activity. We’ve left our mark on nature and animals as well. As humans, we do things that destroy the lives of animals, whether on purpose or on accident.

Pollution has become a prevalent issue worldwide and has begun to affect the air used to breathe, the soil used to grow food, and the water used to drink. All of these effects result in commonly occurring destruction of health and wildlife that one may have seen on the news or heard from peers. In order to live, one needs food, water, clothing, and shelter. If the water and food that society consumes gets contaminated, a major component of life has been eradicated, which can only have negative consequences. If more people are educated as to what effects the environment, the world has a chance to counteract the effects of pollution. The main causes of pollution are the burning of fossil fuels such as with car exhausts, littering as a result of societal norms and laziness, and factory waste as a result of lax waste regulation, and can result in mass destruction of the environment and catastrophic effects on the everyday lives of contemporary people.

Pollution has become a major problem in our everyday lives. Pollution is everywhere whether it is realized or not. It is in the air, in the water, in everything. Pollution is not the result of one person’s actions. We all contribute to its growth. Where do you think all your waste goes? In the environment around you. And that is exactly the problem. People do not seem to care because they do not see its effects clearly. What they do not realize is that it is right in front of their noses.

Fossil fuels have been a big discussion in today’s world due to the pollution they have been causing on the earth. Fossil fuels have been creating energy for the world for so many years. Fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coals used every day by almost every American. We use it to travel, to keep us warm, to cook our food, and many other everyday activities, but we don’t know the harm it is doing to the world. Thanks to Media today we are starting to realize the damage fossil fuel is causing on our world. But can we live without the use of fossil fuels, they been around for so long can we move on from their advantages.

As our world becomes more industrialized, the outcome is hurting the health of humans and destroying planet Earth. In the article Environmental Pollution written by Lee and Brenda Lerner, it is stated that problems range from disposal of wastes, water management, and burning of fossil fuels (Lerner and Lerner 200). Although industrialization is very important in the world, restrictions and laws need to be made to protect Earth for generations to come.

Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment. It is a major problem in America and as well as the world. Pollution not only damages the environment, but damages us also. It has cause many problems ranging from lung cancer to the greenhouse effect. It is all among us but we continue to live in our own filth. What is the reason behind this flawed logic? In this paper I will examine the problems and solutions for this issue.
