The Environment: Problem and Solution

Our environment or our habitat which is the natural world we live in is continuously being harmed knowingly or unknowingly by all of us in some or the other way. Several impurities called contaminants are continuously harming our natural environment and are causing pollution. The problem is us, humans.

So, let’s know about some problems taking place in our environment with their solutions.

1. In several local factories the industrial waste which consists of several chemicals is directly released in water bodies. This harms the aquatic life and water pollution is caused. Thus, all factories should first neutralize the waste and then dispose of it.

2. In many villages and towns, people still defecate in the open. Because of this, soil is polluted and when rains occur then this solid waste combines with water and pollutes the rivers, seas and other water bodies. Thus, one should never defecate in open.

3. Littering is also an important cause of pollution. When one travels by car then sometimes one throws the litter like wafer packets, chips packets or empty coke bottles on the roads because one does not want to make his or her car dirty, but what about one’s environment? Thus, one should never litter around and should also carry a small dustbin along.

To add on, the best way one can protect some environmental problems is by spreading awareness. So, let’s teach the people who don’t know about the basic things by which one can protect our environment.
