Steem Engagement Challenge-S10/W5| The Three Significant Reasons Behind Environmental Pollution

Clean environment contributes to good health. The major types of pollution which we can't escape from in our daily lives are water, land and air pollution. Without proper care to our environment, these pollutants will be made harmful to our health.
Environmental pollution are mostly man made; especially land pollution which are very common around us today.

Describe the Three Significant Reasons Behind Environmental Pollution

Like I said above, most of the reasons behind environmental pollution comes from man. This is one of the problem humans are facing now which is already causing damage to our environment and Earth at large.

The three most significant reasons are;

1. Overpopulation: this is first reason behind environmental pollution. It is the origin of the problem. Using a community to set an example, the more the community is populated, the more waste are being generated by humans.

2. Disposal of Items (Environmental Littering): unwanted items are everywhere in our surrounding, especially plastics. Plastic pollution are caused by human and it is really getting out of hands. Items that are trashed on the roads can lead to accidents and even the ones that are being disposed by the seashore also endangered marine species. Littering the environment is really dangerous and can cause great harm to our health.

3. Waste from Industries: industries releases a lot of harmful chemicals to the atmosphere and during the manufacturing process, other solid/ liquid waste are being produced. Industrial waste are dirt, trash, chemicals, oil, gravel, e.t.c and it can be in different form depending on the industry.

How to Prevent Environmental Pollution

The simplest way to prevent environmental pollution is by developing the habit of recycling unwanted items like; torn clothes, plastics and metals. Shop wisely and avoid littering the environment with plastic or nylons.
Another way is by educating people about the effect of environmental pollution and also volunteer to always clean up the community.

My Opinion on Environmental Pollution Impacts on All Living Creatures

Environmental pollution impact negatively on living creatures including humans especially on the aspect of air pollution which is unavoidable. When carbon and dust particles combines in the atmosphere (air), it forms a smog which gives humans breathing issue or catarrh and cough.

It also damages the immune system of birds. For other creatures like; marine animals, oil and debris pollution causes a lot of harm to them in the ecosystem. When oil spill in the ocean, it affect the adult fish by reducing their growth, fin erosion and also change their respiration rates. Birds that lives close to the ocean also get affected as well, their feathers get repelled which leads to death.
Marine debris generated by humans also gets to the ocean and entangled animals underwater.

I have taken part in environmental clean up several times. I believe in healthy living so I tend to always keep the environment clean.

A Message to all Humans About Environmental Pollution

Environmental pollution are made from man and it is up to us to save the Earth we live in by being careful on how we generate harmful substances in form of pollution. There are consequences in every action so we are meant to face the harmful effect of it. The more we contribute to pollution, the more danger we are putting ourselves. Let's keep our environment clean and away from pollution. Thank you!
