ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

From ages, humans have a deep bond with the environment they live in and belong to. Through all these years though, neither man nor nature ever harmed each other in anyway possible. But now-a-days, human beings are so engrossed in a world of their own, they have forgotten the environment they are currently living in and instead they have started damaging that same environment. In order to further describe this situation, I have selected the topic "Environmental Awareness" which will wholly or at least partially revolve around the causes, effects and need of the hour to save the environment. 

Environmental Awareness refers to understanding the fragility and the survival of the environment and to act responsibly to all that is taking place. The environment needs to be protected and kept safe from all dangers and harms. Only then can the aura and surroundings be pleasant to live in. Everyone must take responsibility for their future generations. There are many environmental issues that are affecting the environment. Oil drilling, deforestation, production of plastic goods and much more. 

Oil Drilling- This issue is one that causes a great deal of environmental destruction. Our dependence on fossil fuel is a global addiction that affects every aspect of the world. Oil spills and offshore drilling poison marine life, oil drilling (on land) suffocates the Earth, and the combustion of fossil fuels add to the increased atmospheric CO₂, which in turns causes the progression of global warming and ocean acidification. This is a multifaceted issue and is a good cause to get involved with because it covers such a broad spectrum of issues.

Deforestation- Millions of acres of forest are cut down for industrial benefit, such as large scale farming, oil mining, and the production of paper goods. Deforestation causes wildlife and biodiversity extinction because the loss of habitat threatens many species’ existence. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has a Red List of environmentally threatened species with up-to-date information.

Production of Plastic Goods- Currently our society creates a great deal of waste and much of that waste consists of plastic. This waste ends up all over the globe in both land and water. Not only is plastic waste an issue, but the production of plastic is also dependent on fossil fuel combustion. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2010, 191 million barrels of liquid petroleum gases (LPG) and natural gas liquids (NGL) were used in the U.S. alone to produce plastic goods.

CLIMATE CHANGE

INTRODUCTION Climate change is the long-term alteration of a location's temperature and typical weather patterns. Climate change can refer to a specific place or the entire world. Weather patterns may become less predictable as a result of climate change. Because expected temperature and rainfall levels can no longer be relied on, these unexpected weather patterns can make it difficult to maintain and grow crops in farming regions. Climate change has also been linked to an increase in the frequency and intensity of hurricanes, floods, downpours, and winter storms. In the polar regions, rising global temperatures caused by climate change have hastened the melting of ice sheets and glaciers from season to season. This leads to rising sea levels in many parts of the world. Along with the expansion of ocean waters caused by rising temperatures, the resulting rise in sea level has begun to harm coastlines through increased flooding and erosion. Human action, such as the usage of fossil
