What could happen and what can we do about it?


It seems to be that all we ever talk about now a day is about pollution, global warming and recycling. Even though we can see it everywhere at all times, some people still do not get the message. Pollution is still going on and does not stop even though industries are told that they are contaminating our air and destroying our ozone layer, none of these can be restored and we are suffering the consequences of their ignorance. Because of the contaminants that pollution has a whole in the ozone is created and then this lets more sun radiation into the atmosphere of our planet causing global warming. This at the same time is causing the North and South Pole to melt which will slowly produce more water which will then affect the amount of land that will be remaining on earth. All this because people are not doing what they know they should be doing, using less electronics, saving energy and so on; not only is it the society that is not doing what they should, but also politicians who should be the first to put the example, that is why they have those ranks, to put the example among society and show them what is right.


Recycling is another factor involved, this is barley begging to be put in use, and maybe not even in the correct way. If we want to help the environment and at the same time help ourselves we must recycle and really put it into practice not just say that we will because will not benefit us at all. There are so many things we can recycle, like paper, plastic, glass ; reuse, paper, cardboard, glass, and so on. Lets be conscious of what were are doing and how it all will benefit us.

Global Problem: Ground Pollution


Every time we get rid of our everyday food and it's packaging, plastic bags, boxes, hardware, just our everyday garbage, leads to ground pollution. When we think of how many garbage we get rid of everyday, it's not comparable to the garbage that industries get rid of. But, where do all that garbage go? Also, when we are so unconcious of ground pollution, we throw garbage to streets, water, etc., this is not only contaminating, we are also endangering many species that live in those environments. Some garbage like cans and bottles might be recycled, but what happens to the rest of it? There are certain processes that this non-recycled garbage go through, but it ends up filling the groud. Why should we throw garbage to streets, geenlands, water etc.? Sometimes people don't really realize what happens when they throw garbage where it's not supposed to. Animals, I believe, are most likely to be affected to this issue, since animals are the ones who have to live on a certain environment they are used to, and if we contaminate it, this specie will face a huge change on its surrounding. We are challenging this species in their own environment, why would we want that? The simple action of putting garbage in its place could make a difference. Another action that could make a difference is separating organic and inorganic garbage. Organic garbage such as food and inorganic garbage such as plastic packaging. Separating paper form garbage is also really helpfull, since this is something that can be recycled (cans and plastic might be good to separate too, since this may also be recycled). Help the environment, make an effort in making the world a better place for everyone.
