The Importance of the environment and conservation.

Why is our environment important? Why we should protect it? As humans, the environment, The Earth, is our home. It is where we live, breathe, eat, etc. What is ecosystem? Ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. Environmental conservation is important for many reasons, including protecting the ozone layer, maintaining animal and human food chains, preserving potable water and making efficient use of non-renewable resources. Within the overall biosphere, or ecosystem, there are smaller ecosystems like the rainforests, marine ecosystems, rainforest, global warming and pollution. All of the environmental problem that exist affect for our health.

One of the greatest problems that the world is facing today is that of environmental pollution, increasing with every passing year and causing grave and irreparable damage to the earth. Environmental pollution consists of five basic types of pollution, namely, air, water, soil, noise and light.

1. Air pollution is the most harmful form of pollution in our environment. Air pollution is cause by the injurious smoke emitted by cars, buses, trucks, trains, and factories, carbon dioxide. Even smoke from burning leaves and cigarettes are harmful to the environment causing a lot of damage to the atmosphere. Evidence of increasing air pollution is seen in lung cancer, asthma, allergies, and various breathing problems.

2.Water pollution caused industrial waste products released into lakes, rivers, and other water bodies, has made marine life no longer hospitable. Humans pollute water with large-scale disposal of garbage, flowers, and other household waste. Acid rain further adds to water pollution in the water. In addition to these, thermal pollution and the depletion of dissolved oxygen aggravate the already worsened condition of the water bodies.

3. Noise pollution, soil pollution and light pollution are damaging the environment at a shocking rate. Noise pollution include aircraft noise, noise of cars, buses, and trucks, vehicle horns, loudspeakers, and industry noise, as well as high-intensity sonar effects which are extremely harmful for the environment.

4. Soil pollution is a result of acid rain, polluted water, fertilizers etc., which leads to bad crops. Soil contamination occurs when chemicals are released by spill or underground storage tank leakage, which releases heavy contaminants into the soil

5. Light Pollution includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference.

The conservation is do not throw rubbish into the rivers, lakes. Turn off the lights when you don’t needed. Car pool with someone else if you are going to the same area from a same area. Use public transportation like buses, train, and subway.
