We all know very well that the life of a living being on planet earth is possible due to the favorable environment around it. Since the ages human beings are consuming this natural source of money in all possible ways. We are causing harm to our fragile environment due to which many problems are arising every day. Climate change, global warming, environmental degradation, ozone depletion, air pollution, water pollution, and land degradation.  This is not it; if we will continue harming our environment than the environment we know now will get destroyed completely.  So, it is a duty of every human to protect our environment in all possible ways and realize the mistakes which we or our ancestors did many of the times.

Following is the things which every individual should do to save the environment.

Stop using poly bags: Plastic bags or poly bags are non biodegradable. They clog in the drainage and water ways, spoils the landscape. Polythene takes 1000 years to break down. These poly bags are not only a threat to human beings but also to the marine and other animals too. Many birds and animals die after eating this plastic, which chokes in their throats. Also, poly bags require a millions of gallons of petroleum for the preparation.

One should replace the poly bags with the paper bags and the renewable poly bags. One can also take their own carry bag when going for the shopping. Also one can buy in bulk; bulk buying will reduce the use of package material.

Ensure the proper maintenance of your vehicle: Tune up engine of your vehicle will reduce the emission of harmful gases that results in global warming and air pollutions. These gases also are the reasons for the acid rain that harms the many crops. Global warming and ozone layer depletion is caused due to these gases, because of this entire world is in danger, various diseases such as skin diseases arise because of these. These problems can become serious if we will not stop destroying our environment.

Encourage the greenery- grow plants: Humans are the wisest and superior among all the living beings. It is our duty that we all should spread the awareness to our friends, neighbors and children’s. We should encourage the awareness around the globe and also make sure that each of us does the needful things. Together we all can make the difference.

The environment refers to the surroundings which occur naturally on earth or any other region thereof. These surroundings comprise of natural resources, living and non-living things. Lately, the environment has been under tremendous strain due to astronomical population growth which has in turn led to industrialization. As a result, there has been rapid depletion of resources and considerable damage has been done to the environment.

Problem appears before us in different forms such as air-pollution, water pollution, food pollution, noise pollution, moral pollution and paper pollution. Air pollution results from the greed of man because he in under way to cut down the trees and forest for setting up of industries and settlements. This has created a complex problem for all of us. The industries vitiate the atmosphere by emitting out fumes of smoke. Side by side combustion, manufacturing processes, agricultural activities, use of chemicals and fertilizers spread pollution in the air. All these releases harmful gases and thereby the air is polluted.

The noise pollution also leads to neurosis and other psychic disorders.

Trees and plants turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. When they are cut, the air becomes impure. Deforestation causes soil erosion. This widespread pollution is great health-hazard and puts a great danger to our life.

Humans consume natural resources for purposes such as manufacturing, power generation, utility etc. The challenge that lies ahead is that the resources are limited. With global population swelling each year, enormous strain is being put on the finite reserve of resources. For our future generations to experience better standards of living we must put efforts to save clean air, water and fuel for them.

One can participate in many ways to save the environment and provide a better future to the coming generations. It can be done by taking environment friendly decisions such as: planting a tree, using energy efficient equipments, buying green products and by employing right methods to recycle plastic, e-waste etc. Recycling is an important instrument as it helps in protecting resources in two ways. Firstly, recycling of material would prevent contamination of water, soil, air etc. as a result of dumping. Secondly, recycling of material like paper, glass, aluminum etc. can help save electricity which can be used constructively.

Thus, each one of us should employ various means to protect our environment and reward our future generations with a greener planet.
