With great heights of development from countries around the world, the levels of pollution have also risen to unprecedented levels. Different types of pollution such as land pollution, water pollution, air pollution, etc. are still happening today and it has affected our ecosystems and our environment. This resulted in global warming and climate change. As simple as the concept is, it is hard to combat this phenomenon unless we work hard together.
Climate change occurs as we carelessly emit our industrial wastes into the environment. Throwing garbage into the waters, burning trashes, and emitting smoke that contains greenhouse gases and other harmful chemicals are some of the many causes of this phenomenon. This carelessness has affected different species, leading them to go extinct because their habitat became unlivable. Due to air pollution caused by greenhouse gases, this has warmed our world. The warming and rising of temperatures, resulting from air pollution have led the ice caps of the north and south poles to slowly melt. As the ice caps melt because of global warming, sea levels would rise, and thus, this would greatly affect people living in coastal cities and towns where the land is near sea level.
As these phenomena are happening at an alarming rate, we all need to take action urgently. Starting with ourselves, we need to raise awareness and use our voices to make the government and corporations take significant action immediately. We also need not throw unnecessary waste on bodies of water and stop burning trash. But most importantly, the most significant solution is through urging corporations to find ways to throw their waste in places that will not greatly harm the environment. Further, urging them to go environmental-friendly in manufacturing and producing their products could help combat this issue, and the government should also partake in finding ways to address and avoid worsening the issue.
