~ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION~

 

Environment means the natural world around us. Trees, animals , water , air etc. are parts of the environment. Any harm done to environment is called pollution. This is a major threat to all the living beings. Human activity is the major cause of environmental pollution.

There are four forms of environment pollution. They are water pollution, air pollution , sound pollution and land pollution. Environment pollution occurs in all these four forms. 

The rapid growth of population poses a big threat to environment. With the increasing population basic human needs also increase. The basic human needs are food, housing , clothes etc. When man tries to satisfy his needs damage to environment cannot be prevented. 

  Expansion of agricultural lands, industrialization , clearing of forest lands for development purposes etc. are some other causes of environmental pollution. Smoke from vehicles and factories , industrial waste and war also cause serious damage to environment. 

 Environmental pollution is a major problem in the modern world. As a result of pollution both man and animal fall ill. Already some animal and plant species have totally disappeared from the planet earth as a result of pollution. The world is facing a drinking water problem, too. Climatic changes also occur due to pollution.

 So man needs to find urgent solutions for environmental pollution. Recycling of waste is just one such solution. Beside all these our younger generation must be properly educated. Strict rules and regulations must also be introduced. 

 Every living being needs a healthy environment for living. Destruction of environment is equal to killing ourselves.
