Introduction

Before thinking “how does it matter if we follow unsustainable practices” you should think what if everyone is doing this?what would happen? This book will talk about,

Problems the world is facing today.

Uh guys, what problems, tell me too!?

There are many problems that the world is facing today. The main problems are air pollution,water pollution and global warming. These problems trigger more problems such as...
Erratic weather, excess garbage, health issues, marine life endangered, food chain suffering and water level rising. To stop this the United Nations have thought of some sustainable development goals to reduce this one of those goals is the SDG10 which was created for sustainable purposes. Single used plastic also triggers global warming.
At this point I would like to discuss that plastic is not bad , plastic was created to save the planet as it took very less energy to make, while cotton took way more and for paper you need to cut trees. However, humans got lazy instead of using one bag again and again, they threw the bag that they used once, which is unsustainable. This led to many landfill and oceans garbage. Animal life on land and water suffered due to this.That’s why single used plastic is bad.

Causes and effects of these problems

Causes

Loading...

Global warming: A main cause of air pollution is burning the plants left over after harvesting , this is common in many countries , the farmers do this! Some people ask why don’t they bury it??? Due to ease, they burn it. Excessive use of plastic is also a cause, however banning plastic is not a good idea for companies because they use tonnes. marine life will die as they will eat plastic.

Air pollution : It is caused by solid and liquid particles and certain gases that are suspended in the air. These particles and gases can come from car and truck exhaust, factories, dust, pollen, mold spores, volcanoes and wildfires. One more cause is farmers burning crop waste too. The Australian bushfire is the latest example of horrors of air pollution and killing of many animals

Water pollution: Sewage And Waste Water: Sewage, garbage and liquid waste of households, agricultural lands and factories are discharged into lakes and rivers. These wastes contain harmful chemicals and toxins which make the water poisonous for aquatic animals and plants. Shipping containers carrying oils which at times lead to oil spill is another reason for water pollutions in the oceans.

Did you know in America, China, indonesia and Russia many cities are being turned into sponge cities, Architects have found a way to reduce water wastage, when floods are happening then the cities will absorb the water rather than getting ruined.

Effects

I am not causing these problems, but should I be worried?

Global warming - The effects of global warming can be floods, diseases, less protection from ultra violet rays and it can cause wars and violence. Water level will rise and floods will be frequent because of glaciers melting.

Water pollution - An average of 70% of the earth is covered with water, out of that only 2% of the water is drinkable , If drinkable water runs out then there is no possibility of life.

Air pollution - If the air pollution goes on like this there will be no clean air or Oxygen which can help our body to survive so again no possibility of life. The main cities of the earth will be Ruined and abandoned.

( In simple worlds life will not exist)��☠️☠️

Air pollution and water pollution

Air pollution is caused due to Industrial pollution due to manufacturing of goods, water pollution is caused due to wastage of water in various water sources. A real life example of air pollution is the austrailian bushfire. architects have made sponge cities to prevent water wastage.

1. Reduce or eliminate fireplace and wood stove use.
2. burning leaves, trash, and other materials.
3.Avoid using gas-powered lawn and garden equipment.

Washing machines :washing machines create some noise,air and water pollution

Cars: Excessive use of cars can cause lots and lots of Air pollution about 4 Billion people use cars in the world.

Facts

-29 percent of the world begs for water and food that is our weak point.

-Smog takes over in the greatest cities of the world

-Bushfire in new south Wales has killed many.It is a huge mess over there many animals were killed during this incident.

-Do not want to buy a electric car, ok but at least do this for the environment buy a hybrid car, it has an electric car range till 40 kms and you can power the motor by pressing the brakes.

New sources of energy

The world cannot just run on already identified and utilised sources of energy such as
solar energy, wind energy, hydropower energy, geothermal energy and biomass energy.

See the video on the left about a creative idea on how different sources can be used as energy sources

First of all it’s our fault we are not sharing resources

What can We do?

Getting the hang of it but what can i do??

Below is a video that may guide you in developing better sustainable practices. If each household work towards these practices, the Earth will be a stronger place than ever.
