Problem/Solution

The issue concentrates on the environment and its problems . Nature is fighting back against the abuses we have inflicted on it ! Due to human carelessness that damaged the environment , many communities are now suffering from environmental crisis . Food , air and water needed for life 's processes which the environment provides unfortunately contain many harmful substances called pollutants . The presence in the environment - air , water and soil - of waste materials or pollutants which the environment cannot handle , degrade , disperse or diffuse so that it becomes unclean and unhealthy is called pollution . Most

pollution is caused by man . Pollutants will increase as population grows , hence , minimizing the production of pollutants and managing its proper disposal must be the goal of every human being

Air pollution that is an undesirable change in the physical and chemical characteristics of air : industrial plants , motor vehicles indiscriminate throwing and burning of refuse everywhere make the air polluted . Prolonged exposure to air pollution may cause respiratory and other diseases as well as irritation of the eyes , nose and throat . Water pollution that contains more harmful substances such harmful bacteria and poisonous chemicals , are likely to cause gastro-intestinal diseases cholera , typhoid fever , dysentery , infectious hepatitis , food poisoning and even death . Land pollution is when harmful substances are introduced into the soil making it unable to sustain plant life toxic residues from the accumulation of chemicals in the land can cause cancer and other diseases . And noise pollution that refers to the presence of too loud , too sudden or very unpleasant sounds that becomes an assault to the body causing mental or physical harm , it affects not only the ears but also directly or indirectly impairs the mind and the whole body

There is a way out of this trap . In a word , it is sacrifice . The fact is that there is no way to both clean up the environment and conserve natural resources without changing the life-style of people in the industrialized nations . The challenge is that of motivating people to make the necessary changes now , before a worldwide disaster forces , much more difficult adjustments upon us . There is no doubt that our existing resources can be used far more efficiently . It is possible for a large-scale , multiple stage recycling program to be introduced in imitation of natural ecosystems . Just as necessities of life are used by one organism after another in various ecological cycles , so human could reuse many of its essential raw materials over and over . To take a simple example , garbage could be used as fuel to run the mills to make recycled , the wastes from which could be burned as fuel Similarly , it is possible that community water districts will some day become closed systems , meaning that the water would be used again and again , never being discharged into an ocean or river . Some factories already have such closed systems . It is possible to envision larger closed systems designed so that no industrial material would ever be discarded as either waste or pollution...
