The hydroelectric power station in northern India near the river was the center of discussion among the many environmental issues facing India certain years. Many environmentalists were hard to prevent construction of the dam. The reason is that the construction of the dam can create pollution in the nearby areas, including vegetation, wild life, flora and fauna. The fight between activists and the government continued for several years was the main environmental issues in leading newspapers of the country.
The above cited incident is one of many cases of environmental degradation caused by human. There are many problems that need immediate concerns such as global warming, endangered species, ozone depletion, water pollution, air pollution and land pollution. Various attempts as the formation of institutions of global and national level are there to solve and prevent many serious environmental issues facing the world today. There are environmental activist groups around the world in different countries to address the issues.
The environment was not so prominent before the nineteenth century. However with the invention of the steam engine and rapid industrialization in the nineteenth century and early twentieth century arose many problems of pollution. Carbon dioxide and many other toxic gases have increased since the mass hysteria industrialization. The growth of these gases and effluents has been steadily increasing and thus the density has reached alarming levels today. The invention of various machines heat in vehicles, industries contributed greatly to the problem of pollution of the world is facing today.
The environment is in a state of imbalance today in the twenty-first century. Otherwise, the temperature rise and the temperature has been a reduction of an environmental imbalance. Air pollution caused by industries, transport systems, deforestation has increased the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The plants include tree falls down a massive world to meet the needs of industries. This has resulted in the phenomenon known as deforestation, which is the rapid removal of the forest among the flora and fauna of the earth & # 39; s face. The decline in the number of trees and vegetation means there is less absorption of carbon dioxide emitted by humans and other living species. The cumulative effect of deforestation and industrial pollution is to increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The increased levels of these harmful gases has resulted in what environmentalists call as global warming. The greenhouse effect is the basic process, the Earth & # 39; s atmosphere with carbon dioxide allows ultraviolet rays to pass through but not infrared radiation present in the sun's rays. The more the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more infra-red radiation (heating characteristics) fixed to the Earth & # 39; s atmosphere thus increasing the Earth & # 39; s temperature. So, increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide has resulted in a rise in temperature, thereby causing global warming.
The deforestation has caused the opposite effect on the temperature drop in temperature of the earth. Due to the rapid clearing of forests is now more available area on the ground where sunlight gets reflected. The reflection of sunlight from the earth's albedo effect. With the increase in the deforestation caused by more light GET reflecting from the ground. So heat energy rays of the sun that was once absorbed into the country's forested area now receive reflects back to space thereby decreasing the concentration of heat close to the Earth & # 39; s surface. This has resulted in the reduction of global temperatures.
The ozone depletion is another major issue in the environment. The chlorofluorocarbons emitted from the earth are depleting the ozone layer through a series of chemical reactions. Destruction of the ozone layer means that harmful ultraviolet radiation can escape the Earth & # 39; s atmosphere causing various diseases in humans. This rapid depletion of the ozone layer is harmful to the very existence of human beings.
The air is create the environment as already discussed as well as other living species narcotic ground. Water pollution as the splitting of oil, harmful substances in the water body is found biosphere. Land pollution has created all kinds of diseases and disorders in humans. All three branches of contamination is a serious threat to life on Earth.
Amazon forest in America full of biodiversity. The forest has thousands of species of plants and animals. Each species lives in a symbiotic relationship with others. Even if one kind or wild trees leads to extinction, it may prove as disastrous if not in the short term, in the long term for the forest. There are many endangered and facing extinction, and if there is no action now to save them then that will occur? Someone should take responsibility to save our fellow creatures because indirectly if not directly our survival also depends on them. And if there is no action now then our own survival at risk and our future generations may not see these beautiful creatures that once walked over the Earth. Despite various measures taken by governments and organizations around the world are many endangered species that lives facing threats from human beings. A lot of business animal & # 39; s skins, bones, skins, etc. Unlawfully exist worldwide. Ban or full control over such activities through laws and regulations in place yet so illegal activities operates illegally checked in the background. So the conservation of wild life and natural environment is one of many important environmental issues of the planet today. The issue requires a comprehensive approach and worldwide action.
Environment Sustainability is a regular renewal of natural resources used. When a tree falls to the paper industry it is necessary to replace the trees to compensate for the loss. So keep intact natural resources over the long term so that they remain unchanged. Various functions like this from companies and organizations around the world need to be put in.In environmental governance structure followed is one of the key issues. Recent alarming growth in the world have put tremendous pressure on the world & # 39; s natural resources that affects the Earth & # 39; s environmental health. If wasted resources on this alarming level the time is not far enough when future generations will have to face scarcity of resources. Sustainability is encouraged to avoid this happening and save the world environment.
What the world wants today's environmental sustainability through environmental protection. In the sense that people consume today does not affect the natural resources so that they are available for our future generations. What we do today with the environment will affect future generations if we want our future generations to live happily think we have to take action now otherwise it will be too late. The global warming will cause a great impact over the long term that could be disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants. Even a slight increase in temperature could be devastating. The earth is our habitat, precious planet that our survival depends on whether it & # 39; s not there then there is no life and hence no men. If the environment keeps degrading thus the time is not far when our grandchildren or their children & # 39; s children will not share the same environment we live in today.
There have been many bodies and programs launched around the world to counter the environmental pollution around the world. The global program to raise environmental issues of the United Nations, the creation of independent institutional environment in various countries are some of the measures worldwide. The carbon credits program launched is especially important in the sense that the system has a balanced growth of the world with environmental protection. Growth in the world has led to problems environment the world is facing today, see this World Environment created the carbon credits. The basic advantage of carbon credits is that growth in the world is not jeopardized at the same time the environment remains free from pollution. The plan of the carbon credits is now practiced around the world. The company win carbon credits for environmental protection initiative applies them in their business. Carbon credits thereby bringing exchanges for cash from the designated authority of the world. There are well-developed exchanges for carbon credits which they do business and exchange for cash. Similar such new programs could excite so that it raises concerns about the environment, but at the same time benefit the people. So what is required is to give people lust because it is human nature to greed and do everything to fulfill that greed. Simple programs and other direct action to save the environment could be successful to some extent but creative new programs as carbon credits will have a significant impact on the psyche to understand environmental problems better. If the carbon credit system has forced companies to take environmental issues seriously than similar programs will encourage other strata of society as well as companies to take the issue seriously. Such systems need to encourage school children, old retired, non-working women and other such people to care and contribute to environmental protection.
We humans have created with our natural environment where flora and fauna for centuries since the dawn of our life on earth. Natural instinct should not allow us to nature that we have all shared the food, home and all we long for centuries. Earth is a place where we live in a symbiotic relationship with other species, and even a slight disturbance in this balance can affect our existence.
