The Solution to Pollution

 The Solution to Pollution

By: Janna Santiago

Pollution has been the problem of the nation, and up until now, why can’t we find a solution?

It is caused by natural pollutants and human-caused pollutants. Especially now that pollution is one of the Earth’s major problems, what should we do about it? We all know that pollution can be caused by natural reasons – which we cannot take control over, but we can take control of the pollutants that are human-made, made by our kind. So, what else can we do? We humans must do something. Since humans can be the cause of pollution, humans can also be the solution to pollution. 

Here are some of the most common steps or ways to avoid pollution:

1.         Stop littering.

-        Try to avoid littering, especially plastic wastes and chemicals, because this can harm soil which can cause land pollution. Also, avoid littering in bodies of water because it can contaminate drinking waters and it can make swimming water dangerous for humans.

2.         Stop burning gases.

-     Gases from vehicles, burning wastes that may have chemicals can harm us because air pollution can be visible or invisible that may cause us several lung diseases.

3.         Stop using fertilizers and pesticides.

  • The use of natural products is way better that using fertilizers and pesticides that may contain harmful chemicals that may erupt soil and make crops harmful to humans.

4.         Reduce sound in your space.

-     Noise pollution can be everywhere. Make sure to have a peaceful place for you. You can make this by avoiding having loud vehicles, adding fences, wearing headphones to avoid noises. Noises in our surroundings can also affect us humans.

  Deforestation is the destruction of forests. Every person on the earth is affected by this global issue. The good news is that we can all do something to stop it from happening. How to End Deforestation By: Red Solidum 1.   Plant Trees!                     I say let it grow! When it comes to combating deforestation and its consequences, replanting is a must. Reforestation, if done appropriately, can help to restore ecosystems that have been harmed, stabilize soil, sustain the water cycle, and slowly restore the ecosystem services that we rely on. So plant a tree today!

What is Deforestation

  What is Deforestation? By: Red Solidum Deforestation is a worldwide issue, it is the  cutting down of trees—particularly ancient forests with delicate ecosystems—from the Earth’s surface  to make room for something else. Deforestation, which accounts for about 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions, is currently the leading cause of global warming.  Billions of trees are cut down each year to make way for development, agriculture, and logging. Thousands of trees continue to fall every day. Photo by:  Justus Menke Deforestation Has Drastic Effects On Biodiversity. Millions of plants and animals are threatened with extinction every year as rainforests are destroyed. More famines, storms, and floods, which kill tens of thousands of people and put our most endangered species at jeopardy. Photo by:   Luoman Deforestation is a huge contributor tp Climate Change.
