Global Pollution And Its Effects On The Environment

More than half of the human population knows what pollution is but we are still not ready to face it's damaging consequences. Pollution occurs when pollutants contaminate the natural surroundings; which brings about changes that affect our normal lifestyles adversely. Pollution comes in many forms and no matter where you live, you've probably seen some form of it. Some litter of NYC city streets to the smog that lingers ov0er LA to the plastic trash that floats in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the visible signs of pollution are more than evident. The main reason for a why pollution has gotten too out of control is that our desire for more “stuff” has led to our old stuff being thrown away at an alarming and unnecessary rate. As humans we have impacted the environment in so many different ways. The 3 main pollutants i will be talking to you about is water, air, and soil pollutions since these are the three main ones that are affecting not only us as humans but our planet that we live on.. These three main pollutants have affected the environment in many different ways such as climate change and even habitat destruction towards our planet and is in need to be taking some Extreme Measures and actions in order to decrease the pollution to our home.

The Earth is currently facing detrimental environmental issues. These issues have been evident for decades; however, many people have continuously denied them to be problematic or even their existence entirely. While they have managed to get away with the rejection of these problems for many years, it is no longer deniable that the issue of environmental degradation is very real and in need of immediate action. That being said, although there have been a variety of modest attempts to increase environmental sustainability, they have demonstrated to be of minimal effect. Pollution, global warming, deforestation, and a plethora of other human impacts that cause this degradation rapidly continue to destroy the planet, and in order to obstruct them,

Living on this earth is a privilege and unfortunately we sometimes take advantage of it. Stories of deforestation, air and water pollution really make a person think of just how much our planet is being harmed. A major concern is water pollution. Water covers at least 70 percent of the planet which makes our rivers, lakes, and oceans essential. Many of these bodies of water are being polluted and although they may be out of sight, they eventually help pollution increase. Actions should be made to stop the pollution of our waters before things get worse. If we want to decrease the amount of pollution it starts out by increasing the amount of recycling we do. It

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.

The air we breathe, the water we drink, the ground where we grow our food, is polluted with harmful things. Pollution is the introduction of harmful or poisonous effects of a substance into the environment. It disrupts the balance of people’s lifestyle when they are contaminate. Pollution balance in the environment and ecosystem. The environment is in the process of becoming unsafe or unsuitable to use. Pollution can come in many different form, such as air, water, soil can have pollutant that can wreak havoc on the environment. Pollution can be a form of anything and cause so much harm. It can take the form of chemical substances or energy. When chemicals are released by spill or underground leakage, the soil can become contaminated, which is soil pollution. The release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere, is the product of air pollution. The industrial wastes dumped into the rivers and other cause an imbalance in the water leading to its severe contamination and death of aquatic species.

"Since the Industrial Revolution began in about 1750, carbon dioxide levels have increased nearly 38 percent as of 2009 and methane levels have increased 148 percent" (NASA). What NASA is describing in the above quote is how humans have impacted global temperatures. NASA estimates that in the last century, the global temperature has risen a little over 1 degree fahrenheit and they see no reason to doubt that this trend will continue as long as humans continue to carelessly produce these greenhouse gases. Companies that produce soda should be banned until they can be run off of solar power at least 60 percent of the time. Soda is a luxury item, as it is not necessary for survival. The companies that produce these products generate unnecessary pollution that contaminates the air and groundwater. The shortage of soda will make people who drink soda regularly think about what they put into their bodies as many of the ones who drink soda with caffeine go through withdrawals. Requiring companies to go solar would also help improve solar technology as the companies would be paying a lot of money on solar panels.

Global warming may be the most critical and controversial issue the world faces in the twenty-first century. Throughout the years, society has divided itself into two different groups, there is those of who believe in global warming and those of who do not. Whether people may believe in global warming or not, pollution has become a very costly environmental problem in terms of human/animals lives and in term of overall destruction dealt to our planet earth. For over four decades, Greenpeace (an independent global campaign organization) which was established in 1971, Vancouver, Canada by Patrick Moore, Robert Hunter, and David McTaggart, has strived to change society's outlook towards global warming. The purpose of this environmental organization is to protect/conserve the environment and to promote global peace. If pollution persists to be a problem, however, humanity along with any other living organisms, will experience pollution’s unpleasant aftermath.

Did you know (personification) pollution is one of the biggest global killers, affecting over 100 million more people every year? Americans make up 5 percent of the world's population, and yet, produce 30 percent of the world's waste and use 25 percent of the world's resources. Agricultural and industrial waste will cause contaminated water, containing bacteria and parasites. In South Asia, water pollution causes a child to die every eight seconds from drinking contaminated water. Lake Karachay, found in Russia, is the most radioactive and polluted lake in the world. As you see from each of these examples, the main causes of pollution include industries and agricultural activities, the impacts of which are devastating to both humans and the environment.

Just like every living species in this world we live in, planet Earth also has its own health measures and qualities. Over a period, the temperature of the earth has risen nearly twice the rate it was 50 years ago. Just as a human being getting affected by a high fever, the earth equally has its own impact and outcomes. Earth is naturally surrounded by a phenomenal layer called the "greenhouse gases" which preserves the planet from getting too hot or too cold. When the sun rays hit this layer, most of it is bounced back into the space to keep a natural cycle of gases. But since it has been mistreated in most cases by humans over a long period of time, this layer traps an abundant amount of harmful gases causing numerous damages to earth. We call this the "Global Warming". The best medicine and the cure to this problem can only be formed by humans and the changes we make in the future. Most of us often do not even have sufficient knowledge on this issue and it is typically underestimated. Global warming is not a prediction, it is happening right now and will continue to become an issue over time if we don't understand the causes, the consequences, and a way to address a solution to avert this problem.

The U.S. Government isn’t doing enough to protect the coastal cities that are flood prone when hurricanes hit these areas. They need to be aware of the current damage that hurricanes do to the coastal cities and realize how much worse it will get soon because of global warming. “Under Water” by Kate Sheppard explains how this need in neglected by the U.S. Government.

Humanity has had thousands of years on Planet Earth to indulge in the many resources Earth has to offer. Over the years of trial and error within industry, innovation, and creation, humanity began to destroy the planet without recognizing the dangers that would come to be in later years. Causes and effects of pollution became increasingly aware to the population, as respiratory diseases began to rise in numbers. Pollution is the product of human industry. Innovators are forced to find new ways to keep up with the rapid growth of the population by any means resulting in the deterioration of Earth and its exhaustible resources. The environment and the population has suffered from many negative influences that must be prevented in order to ensure the existence of future generations.

Throughout the last 200 years, there have been a plethora of inventions such as the combustion engine. Other such inventions include the steam engine, typically driven by coal, and propellants used to spray chemicals. The Industrial Revolution left an impact on the world far greater than just inventions and set forth a world of change. Although the Industrial Revolution brought many great devices in to the world, it also could have caused the accelerated climate change and warming that we saw throughout the 21st century. In fact, over the 900 years before the Industrial Revolution began, the average world temperature was in decline and the 1990s was the warmest decade on record.

When you think of the environment, what do you see? There are beautiful oceans, scenery, and wonderful fresh air. But, if you take a closer look, you will see all of the pollution in every one of these places. We will discuss each of these places and the pollution in them. We will also see the types of pollution and how we can help to minimize it. Everybody needs to take care of the Earth and take action to minimize pollution because with everyone's help, we can do it.

Air pollution used to be a natural occurrence that had no major effects on the Earth's inhabitants. Such instances were caused by forest fires, emission from the Earth, and volcanoes. It was not until humans discovered how to start and control fire that we started over polluting the planet. For many years cities have struggled through thick smog due to dense smoke emissions. Officials, like in Los Angeles, have tried to adopt multiple measures to combat the smog but the city, and the rest of the world, continued to boom in industry. Thus, overwhelming the air pollution reforms the city tried to enforce. However, it was not until about seventy-one years ago during the height of World War Two, when the dire consequences of air pollution began to dramatically increase. Instead of a foreign enemy attacking the city of Los Angeles, it was a domestic one, smog. On July 26, 1943 downtown Los Angeles was covered in smoke and fumes. The smog was extreme to the extent that it cut off visibility of three blocks. This spontaneous “gas attack” came about in the middle of a heat wave. For the citizens it was unbearable. They suffered from throat-scraping and eye stinging sensations. The people soon realized that something must have gone wrong.. The day after the incident, the city officials blamed the Southern California Gas Co.'s Aliso Street plant for the catastrophe. In order to stop the smog, the angry public had the plant shut down temporarily. Yet they were unpleasantly surprised to
