  • Environment
    Environment is drived from french word "Environia" which means to surround.
    Things around us are our environment; food, oxygen, water, earth, lakes, farms, and other biological life such as humans, animals, and plants are included in the environment.

Environmental pollution
The harmful material such as wastes, industrial smoke, ash, and vehicle smoke are polluting our environment. The material which is unfit for our life is called environmental pollution.

There are three kinds of pollution
Air pollution  •water pollution •land pollution

Today I will discuss a bad habit of humans which is polluting land and water, it also has some effects on air.


Its Garbage
Garbage pollution.
Humans are creating too much trash. In a survey of 2017 the total generation of municipal solid waste in the United States just that year was 267.8 million tons.


But a big problem in underdeveloped countries is that we throw our domestic trash in our streets. While traveling we throw tin cans, plastic bags, and other food items on roads. These habits are polluting our land and have bad effects on the environment.


Climate change
Garbage waste has the largest climate change .garbage waste is creating pollution and due to pollution heat production and the earth globe is getting warming. This is called global warming. In many countries climates are changing.


Wildlife
Toxic chemicals and bacteria from the rubbish and other solid wastes when washed into rivers and oceans pollute water and harm life in the water.
Public health
Humans are directly harmed by garbage pollution. Toxic substances in the air cause diseases of the skin eyes and throat, also create allergy. Humans are inhaling the toxic substances present in the environment which cause breathing difficulties.

Protect the environment from garbage pollution
If we want to save our environment from pollution we have to control garbage pollution.
Burning waste causes air pollution so what we do to save the environment??
We have to follow the "3R" strategy.
"3R"
There are 3 R, 1 Reduce. 2 Reuse 3 recycle
It's an easy way to control pollution
1. Reduce
We have to reduce waste. Its means less waste to manage. When you go shopping use a cotton bag or paper bag instead of plastic bags. keep pets at home and give them extra food items instead of throwing them.

2. Reuse
It's said that "one man's trash is another man's treasure".
Give your extra food, clothes, and books to others.
You can also use your things again and again for different purposes. From the newspaper, you can make different crafts. You can reuse your old clothes by giving them a new fashion look.

3. Recycling
Recycling is a good activity, we can recycle different things and make our home more beautiful. From plastic bottles, we make flower pots, jewelry box and wall hanging crafts. From papers, we make cards and different decoration pieces.

these are the simple steps that we can do to protect our environment. Let's together save our environment.
Don't throw our house trash in the streets, our streets are also our home, keep them clean.
Buried trash of kitchen, leaves, woods, cotton and dead organisms, etc.
Stop using plastic bags and tell your community to reduce the use of plastic bags and bottles.
Create awareness in your community about environmental pollution.
If someone throws garbage on-road and streets, request them to don't do that and also help them to throw garbage in the right place.
Use 3R strategies to avoid pollution and to keep our environment clean for our lives and other human beings' lives.
