For centuries have past and as humans evolve from time to time, humans have been developing non-stop while making incredible breakthrough through every single fields, most noticeably, in the scientific, technical and engineering sphere. Because of the above, people’s daily life have become more and more convenient as new inventions are made and used. However, for our life has become much easier for us, we are making disastrous effects on the environment and the ecosystem. While the Earth is getting more ill everyday as we dump our waste into the atmosphere and contaminate pure resources, one of the most alarming impacts that humans have done to nature is the water resources. First, undoubtedly, water is one the most important necessities as …show more content…
Even though benefits from manufacture, different industries, economic and others might have been more than just numerous still it will never repair the permanent effects that humans have done to the water resources. Namely the unsolved dead fishes case in Vung Ang, Vietnam, which has caught a lot of interest of foreign press. It is said on the national news that over 30 millions tons of dead fishes were collected by citizens who live near the coast of central Vietnam. In fact, according to some source of news, it is said that fishermen have reported to Vietnam government that there is a pipe illegally pumping sewage out of the ocean and describing to be a yellowish stinky chemical waste that is suffocating when inhale, even so this new government seems to have again failed its people for have not been able to succeed in the investigation of finding out the cause of this incident as further information about the case is still a mystery to us all. As well as another devastating impacts, the Citarum river in Indonesia, for hundreds years, has become attached to the daily life of about 30 millions residents who live in areas surrounding the river. Yet it is depressing to know that because of the overgrowth of factories and overpopulation in Indonesia have made this river come to be the most polluted river in …show more content…
More worryingly, we don’t only pollute water resources directly but also indirectly, for example exploiting groundwater, making countries like Singapore becomes extremely lacking of fresh water making it hard for government to buy water for an unreasonable high price from neighboring countries or overuse of pesticide in agriculture affecting our health and to the ecosystem. Therefore, to me, I think that it is still very saddening that to this day, many leaders who have big influences and a global voice are still denying the fact that climate change is happening as they fooled themselves with their own width of knowledge when only looking at our life today not tomorrow. As I quoted a line in “Mermaid”, a movie directed by Stephen Chow, "If there's no clean water to drink and no clean air to breathe, what can you do with all this useless money?", this sentence, in my opinion, means if we don’t preserve our pure resources now, and letting it runs out by time, then what is the target of chasing your purpose and pursuitting your dream. As a result, I think this problem should be taken more serious by leaders to be a good model for their citizens later then, also I think it is also crucial to not only carefully educating
We are like boiling frogs, Failing to act against climate change. As the severity of the situation continues to increase the world is reaching catastrophic levels. The recent article, “It's not too late to stave off the climate crisis, U.N. report finds” by Lauren Sommer, uses persuasive language to alert the public that the time to act on climate change is now. The world has enough technology and solutions to fix this problem as stated in the article whilst the author uses pathos to help support the quote.
From: Mr.Jazayeripour the manager of Mojave Desert community to: The California Environmental Protection Agency Water is one of the necessary sources for organisms to survive in many ways. and did you know that (The United States uses about 346,000 million gallons of fresh water every day. allaboutwater.org-water.facts ) Mojave river, colorado river and underground water are the main sources of water for animals, plants, residential, industrial and agricultural uses. ground-water depletion is primarily causes by sustained groundwater pumping.
The United States, as a leading example for the word, must start taking action to cut its use of fossil fuels. I believe that the effects of global warming are very similar to the effects that tobacco has on a person, you can’t see it but it slowly builds up to destroy you. In other words, if we don’t take action right now to cut carbon dioxide and prevent the increasing greenhouse effect, the ocean levels will slowly rise as glaciers melt and retreat, imperiling the habitat of many endangered species. Since global warming is a proven phenomena, caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, it’s important for the government to regulate the carbon dioxide emissions of factories and the car manufacturers by enforcing laws and regulations.
In the article ‘Why Bother?’ Michael Pollan, a Professor of Journalism at the University of California, examines the dangers of climate change and how ordinary citizens can reduce its effects on the environment. Although most scientists are concerned and have warned nations of its disastrous effects some still deny the existence of climate change. As if melting ice caps and the ever-increasing blue waters were not enough proof, some citizens believe that climate change is an “unproven theory or a negligible contribution to natural climate variability” (Hall 3). Nevertheless, citizens who believe in global warning can change how they live for the better.
All of this pollution is making it hard to keep people safe considering the water is unsafe to drink or even swim in. Factories using the water do not know that the water is
Due to the river being connected to many other rivers and lakes, the contaminated water travels downstream and contaminates the water in the other water sources. This is ongoing and makes it harder for the treatment of the water. Propose one possible rehabilitation technique. A rehabilitation technique that could be put in place at this water source would be to enforce harsher penalties for polluting the water and educating the public on the consequences of the pollution.
In the early 2000 Al Gore once said, “The planet is in distress and all the attention is on Paris Hilton.” In the same theme, Michael Pollan writes, “Why Bother?”, an article from The New York Times Magazine published in 2008 telling Americans they are too consumed with themselves and maintain a “cheap-energy mind”. And here, in 2016 climate change is seriously happening and the nation is still not addressing the gravity of the issue and why we should indeed bother to make changes. It is time that this nation discerns that climate change is real and it is happening as we speak. Climate change is a threat to each and every one of us and imperative to the survival of life on this planet.
“The only thing that we can do is control what we do next. How we live our lives. What we consume. How we get involved. And how we use our vote to to tell our leaders that we know the truth about climate change”, says Leonardo Dicaprio.
Climate change has been a problem in the world since the industrial revolution and has been denied by major corporations and the government for centuries. This is because most non-renewable resources are major industries (i.e. oil, electricity, water, etc.) and the world 's economy profits from these resources. The bulk of corporations prioritize their wealth over the condition of the Earth beneath them. Economic growth is important for the people, yes; it is how we develop as a society, but at what cost? The Earth takes the brunt of society 's success, and denying the inevitable will not stop it from occurring.
The Indutrial Revolution began in Britain in the 1700’s and spread throughout different parts of world. During this peiriod, vast amounts of people started moving from rural areas to urban areas looking for better job opportunities. Prior to the Industrail Revoliution, manuafcturing was often done in people’s homes. Slowly indutrialization established new machinery including the devlopment of the steam engine along with iron and textile industries. This was a great advancemt for the United States.
In recent years, the topic of saving the Earth from Humans has shown itself in many conversations amongst the people of the public. Saving the World will be an issue we must solve in the near future because we are causing a mass extinction for animals, and we are harming and killing humans, but we can resolve it by using technology to reduce global warming and setting aside reserves. The most important thing humans must do in regards to this topic is begin to educate themselves and others on how drastic we must be in regards to it. The first major issue that must be made clear is the great peril animals are in, and what this means for the planet and humans.
Climate Change is one of the most unsettling problems mankind faces today. It leaves an impact on every single living thing, on every continent, no matter the privilege. Long term investment must be used to change the world. People must do more than just change out their light bulbs for eco-friendly ones, or drive fuel efficient cars. A choice as simple as changing our diets could reduce a human’s carbon footprint by fifty percent.
Perhaps less obvious but no less ominous a threat to the environment are the general increase in temperatures worldwide and the resulting climate changes. This phenomenon, known as global warming, could have serious negative effects on humans and all other living things on Earth. Global warming is a complex problem, and governments have had great difficulty deciding how to address it. Some people think that it is the work of the world where nothing we do can ether change it or anything we do will prevent it. While others say that the
Water pollution is happening everywhere but this investigation is focused on water pollution in Ga-kgapane and how the increase in population has led to an increase in this pollution. One of the main causes for water pollution in this town is: • The disposal of waste products in the streams • The washing of clothes and other things in these streams • Human activities such as swimming and playing in these streams Water pollution has become a growing problem in this town and has led to a lot of other issues that should be
Water is one of the most important and vital substance on earth. All life forms on earth require water to survive. If there will be no water there would be no life on earth. Aside from drinking water to survive, people have many other uses for water.
