Deforestation
With an exponential expansion in human beings, more food, materials, and shelter are being manufactured at stupendous rates, mostly stemming from forestry. Forests are cleared to make way for new humans, which in turn, negatively affects the environment.
Solution
Afforestation and reaforestation.That is the process of establishing a forest on land where there is no forest, and planting trees after cutting them down and caring continually until the trees grow collectively as a whole into a forest as planned. It helps in addressing the environmental issues of the world, especially in preventing further global warming and reversing the effects of global warming.
Industrial activities:
The production of chemical-laden plastics, poor quality of products, unethical practices, such as illegal dumping, and extreme emissions affect both surrounding and far-reaching areas.
Solution
Recycle: This is the most common and, in most cities, the easiest, most accessible thing we can do for the environment. We can recycle many household items, including computers, printer cartridges, aluminum cans, paper, plastic bottles, milk jugs, batteries, steel containers, glass and much more.
Ocean Acidification
Ocean acidification is caused when carbon iv oxide dissolves into the ocean bonding with sea water creating carbonic acid. The acid reduces the pH levels in the water, essentially changing the Ocean acidity by.The acidity depletes the calcium concentrations, making it difficult for crustaceans to build their shell, leaving them vulnerable without their armor.
Solution
Sinse carbon iv oxide is majorly produced by heavy machines such as industries,vehicles and other energy sources,research should be done to come up and effect alternative source of energy-renewable,for instance,solar,wind and geothermal energy which is environment friendly.Furthermore,industries should also alternatively come up with a way of treating CO2 that is released by the heavy machines.
Poor agricultural practices:
Animal manure runoff from confined animal feeding operations, the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, the practice of growing monocultures (only one crop season after season) and the deforestation required to expand farm land all contribute to degradation and pollution.
Solution
Use environment-friendly systems of agriculture for example,mixed farming.
