How to protect the environment

How should humans protect the environment? In daily life, everyone has the obligation to consciously cherish and protect the environment that human beings rely on for survival. Control factory exhaust gases; strictly prohibit the use of items that damage the ozone layer; plant a large number of trees; prohibit burning plastics; recycle batteries; pick up garbage, etc. When interacting with others, the reason why we should particularly discuss the issue of "protecting the environment" is because it is a basic social morality that human beings should possess. In life, there are two issues that require special attention: First, we must understand that it is not enough to have the awareness of "protecting the environment". More importantly, we must take practical actions. Second, we must be strict with ourselves on the specific issue of "protecting the environment" and set an example. As young people, we should be more aware of the "environment" after receiving education, and we should write slogans to promote it. In addition, to protect the environment, we should start from now, start from around us, and start from small things. For example, 10 small things that can be done easily: 1. Water for multiple uses; 2. Repair and reuse; 3. Turn off the lights; 4. Plant trees; 5. Use less pesticides; 6. Recycle batteries; 7. Save energy; 8. Do not litter; 9. Use paper on both sides; 10. Refuse to use disposable items.

The originally beautiful earth has become a dirty planet due to the pollution of our humans. The four types of pollution are as follows:

The first type is waste pollution. Hong Kong people alone have produced more than one million garbage every day, and most of the garbage comes from residential and industrial and commercial activities, such as: construction, Materials left after demolition and road construction, sludge left after sewage filtration, people's disposable utensils, glass, etc. Almost all garbage will be sent to landfills, but landfills are almost full. Why not burn the garbage like the United States, Japan, and Europe? That saves space and is fast. However, if you burn something containing chlorine, such as plastic, it will release a harmful gas called dioxins, which will not only affect our health, but also the whole process is very expensive. It is inevitable that the government will not adopt this method. method.

The second type of pollution is water pollution. Water pollution comes from livestock manure, industrial waste, household sewage, citizens littering, and crude oil leaked from electroplating factories, dyeing factories, and ships. In addition, when a gas called sulfur dioxide increases, the rain that falls is no longer ordinary rain, but "acid rain", which also causes pollution. But if people drink these contaminated water or seafood, they will contract diseases, such as hepatitis. Some seabirds starved to death because they could not fly after their wings were stained by crude oil leaked from ships, and many animals lost their lives. However, the government has also tried its best to remedy the situation, such as setting up sewage treatment plants to filter the sewage before discharging it into the sea, thereby reducing the degree of water pollution and thus reducing the harm caused by illness or death of people or animals.

The third type of pollution is air pollution, which means high levels of suspended particles and nitrogen oxides in the air. The main "culprits" causing this pollution include vehicles, power plants, industrial and commercial operations, construction sites, etc. If people inhale waste gas for a long time, they may contract pneumonia, silicosis, cotton lung and other diseases. And if the ozone layer is destroyed due to air pollution, people may also contract skin cancer. The government is currently actively strengthening controls, enacting legislation, and vigorously promoting how to protect the environment.

The last type of pollution is noise pollution, which comes from transportation, construction, and road construction. Noise can make it difficult for people to concentrate on work and study, make them irritable, and cause hearing loss... and even more serious, they can cause deafness. Therefore, the government has also implemented measures such as enacting legislation and installing soundproof screens.

Many people say that with economic development, it is inevitable that the earth will be polluted. But in fact, if everyone puts in more effort, such as using paper on both sides, taking more collective transportation, etc., I believe that pollution can be reduced and the earth will become more beautiful!
