Taking care of the nature of environmental pollution
The present investigation refers to the care of nature, being the environment in which we live we must take care of it is the habitat for both people and animals, when talking about nature care we refer to the protection and conservation of natural resources, vegetation andFauna, concern for nature has today become one of the most relevant issues today, in recent years it has presented excessive pollution by human actions that have become one of the main ecological problemsDue to the accumulation of this waste, those that cause the modification of the environmental conditions of the ecosystems.
Due to environmental pollution, it has generated serious consequences in the environment and living beings, this makes people more and more exposed to respiratory diseases, with the damage that causes our health and life, in addition to the weakening of theOzone layer has caused that we are increasing.
Currently, garbage waste indices are very high, caused by excessive plastic use and other products that are not biodegradable. Faced with this situation, the present study is carried out whose importance is to contribute to the care of nature, to reduce pollution starting from our home
Background
Over time the environment is increasingly damaged due to the misuse of natural resources, since the individual in order to meet their basic needs began to relate to their environment, causing a process of transformations that made possibleThe ascending development of humanity, but at the same time its activities have constituted a powerful influence factor on the planet causing wear in these essential resources, such as pollution or degradation, unconsciously exploiting nature, which voluntarily has not always beenjustified.
The planet’s time, in 2019, seeks to combat in Ecuador the plastic contamination that reaches critical levels throughout the planet. According to WWF (World Nature Fund), plastic pollution has reached critical levels and has caused great consequences in the environment, people and species that fight for survival. It is estimated that due to the mismanagement of these waste a third of the waste, around 100 million tons of polluting waste, a year enters nature in a terrestrial and marine way, at the same time the reuse of plastic waste remains aLittle productive option, due to the low recycling capacity and the high costs of collection and classification. In all areas of the community, the reuse of plastics should be taken as a priority and responsibility as a fundamental ecological value at the environmental, social and economic level. (ARNAL, 2019)
Definition of the problem
As we have mentioned before the destruction of nature and environmental pollution has caused growing concern and interest in society and worldwide, due to the effects that harm living beings and the environment they inhabit, also causing health damage andHighlighting in the loss of biological diversity, wealth of species and ecosystems, its debate reaches all sectors of the community and with it to become aware about the dangers that the degradation of the environment affects the present and the future of humanity,since at the same time, what is at risk is the survival of the human species itself. So for the development of this research, the following question is raised. What can we do to reduce pollution from our home in the San Francisco de Tahuachi neighborhood?
The care of nature and air quality is an obligation among the representatives of the governments of the countries, institutions and companies, industry and citizen, which with responsible habits can help control CO2 emissions that are generatedDiario, citizens on our part, we can contribute to a sustainable lifestyle that does not help harm the nature of the air, as used by the bicycle or public transport means instead of cars, recycling to extend the cycleof life of the products used and reducing the use of aerosols
JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
The foundations that led to the present investigation focuses on contributing to the care of nature and encouraging the population to take an initiative to change this situation and who better than the new generations, since it is of vital importance, due to its effectscaused by environmental pollution by human beings, such as the exhaustion of the natural resources that nature, respiratory diseases, high temperatures on the planet, extinctions of some species and ecosystems, and therefore the need to protect theenvironment where we live in being able to counteract this problem
For the development of this research, the following are considered fundamental concepts:
Environmental care
According to (Geoinnova Association, 2017), it indicates that the care of the environment is the biology of ecosystems, it refers to those actions and habits that human beings must implement for the benefit and well -being of nature, which allow to reduce pollutionand do a cleaner. When talking about the care of the environment, we are talking about the protection of the planet and conservation of those natural resources offered by nature.
Environmental pollution
It is known as environmental pollution due to the appearance of those harmful elements, such as chemical, physical and biological in the environment and natural environment, which cause damage to all living beings that inhabit it. In addition, this originates mainly due to the actions of human activities together with industry, trade and mining, such as the issuance of CO2 to the atmosphere that causes the greenhouse effect, the exploitation of natural resources, and the excessive use ofplastic and other materials that at the same time alter environmental conditions, causing harmful effects on health, well -being and habitat of animal and plant life in general. Environmental pollution today is a global problem that affects all beings residing on planet Earth and therefore, it must be taken with responsibility. (Let’s take care of the planet, 2018)
Causes and consequences of environmental pollution
Causes
In general, the technological development of our society, the production of plastic waste linked to the industry and the demographic increase of the human species as well as the daily life of the human being are the main causes of environmental pollution. At the same time this results in problems that inconvenience the biological balance of the earth, more obvious causes of the increase in pollution in recent years. As well as the indiscriminate exploitation of the elements such as carbon, oil, metals and some minerals that are essentially used in all areas from home, kitchen and even in buildings of buildings where all kinds of activities are carried out, althoughIt is true that the human being is considered to be the main responsible for environmental pollution and the effects it generates.
The main sources that generate greater environmental pollution in the environment are the following:
- Immoderate felling of trees and forests.
- Gas emissions to the atmosphere and hydrosphere due to industrial production
- Burning fossil fuels, generating climate change
- Non -renewable energy production with fossil fuels that cannot be replaced and other sources
- Impoderate use of vehicles and other means of transport that are driven by gasoline or diesel.
- The indiscriminate use of plastics and other materials derived from oil in everyday life.
- Degradation of plastics and non -biodegradable objects in natural spaces.
Impact
It is important to consider that over time environmental pollution has left catastrophic consequences on the environment and all living beings, in the same way producing alterations in ecosystems that coincide directly in the living conditions of animals and plants, it can alsoGiving rise to the extinction of some species, and contributes to the accentuation of global warming also known as climate change, whereby the planet’s temperature is constantly increasing progressively causing the greenhouse effect.
However, the effects of pollution are reflected in the following:
- Health problems: usually the high degrees of pollution has serious effects on health on living beings, depending on the level of exposure, at the same time it can cause simple to the most serious symptoms, such as cough and irritation of the tractrespiratory to acute conditions such as asthma and chronic lung diseases.
- Weakening of the ozone layer: without a doubt the consequence of this weakening has caused the planet to continually have a high temperature, harming the regulation of the climate and in the health of humanity since it is increasingly protecting us. Indeed, this not only makes more and more deserted areas in which it is impossible. It is not necessary to mention that at the same time the sea levels evidently ascend and that if they continue like this, many coastal cities will be razed, running without beaches and without a coastal area.
- Pollution affects soil and water: it is worth emphasizing that of this consequence what affects the most are the ecosystems that inhabit the thousands of species, causing damage in their place of habitat and therefore more endangered species. Water pollution due to waste that is produced daily, causes it not to be consumed and used in its entirety since it can cause serious diseases, also testing the disappearance of biodiversity and aquatic ecosystems, on the other hand it makes itEach time you can grow less and that the number of harvests for sustenance is increasingly lower.
