The Environment (CI)
In our modern world, there are many factors that place the wellbeing of the planet in jeopardy. while
some people havn the opinion that environmental problems are just a natural occurrence, others
believe that human beings have a huge impact on the environment. Regardless of your viewpoint, take
into consideration the following factors that plaCe our environment aswoll as the planet Earth in
danger.
Global warming or climate change is a major contributing factor to environmental damage. Because of
global warming, we have seen an increase in melting ico caps, a rise in soa levels and the formation of
new weather patterns These woathor patterns have caused stronger storms, droughts, and flooding
in places that they formerly did not occur.
Air pollution is primarily caused as a result of excessive and unregulated emissions of carbon dioxide
into the air. Pollutants mostly emerge from the burning of fossil fuels in addition to chemicals, toxic
substances, and improper waste disposal. Air pollutants are absorbed into the atmosphere, and they
can cause smog a combnation of smoke and fog, in valleys as well as produce acidic precipitation in
areas far away from the pollution source.
In many areas, people and local governments do not sustainably use their natural resources. Mining for
natural gases, deforestation, and even improper use of water resources can have tremendous effects
on the environment. While these strategies often attempt to boost local economies, their effects can
lead to oil spills, interrupted animal habitats, and droughts.
Ukimately, the effects of the modern world on the environment can lead to many problems. Human
beings need to consider the repercussions of their actions, trying to reduce, reuse, and recycle
materials while establishing environmentally sustainable habits. If measures are not taken to protect the
environment, we can potentially w "itness the extinction of more endangered species, worldwide
pollution, and a completely uninhabitable pIanec
