As many have heard Antarctica has had its floral awakening. Now this does not sound as a problem to some as there are some indigenous flowers, but these flowers have not been there for a long time. These flowers had gone dormant and have only now arisen from the rise of climate change, in a bad manner. Here are some of the effects and preventative measures for this environmental problem.
Water is consumed by the masses daily. However, the condition of the water is important as the contaminated water that is consumed can lead to disastrous problems. There are millions dead and many more illnesses contracted every year due to water pollution. Water pollution is the contamination of water with chemicals or other hazardous substances that are detrimental to human, animal, or plant health.
Many around the world have had suffered food poisoning from eating some bad food, either in the sense of it being prepared improperly or of it being expired. This is a very unpleasant experience as it leaves you feeling very ill for days on end and it leaves you very hungry and thirsty; however, when ingesting these products it goes straight back up. There are many ways to prevent this as it will be explained.
With the upcoming holidays it is very evident how many products we as humans consume. We are lead to believe that we all need the new and upcoming item when in reality it is not needed in our lives. With the yearly anticipated event of Black Friday consumerism becomes extremely evident.
Today there are many things that go to waste such as food, resources, and many other things that seem to be unimportant. Waste, or wastes, are considered to be unwanted or unusable materials.
With the current state of consumption there is not enough time for every resource to restore itself. With this there are many issues. Firstly, resource depletion is the consumption of a resource faster than it can be replenished.
Energy conservation is the decision and practice of using less energy. This is an important part of reducing global warming/climate change. A way to do this is to be more mindful of the energy users.
Nuclear energy has been looked toward with its benefits of being a cleaner and more renewable source of energy. However there are also downsides to it considering the other side of nuclear war and weapons.
As the years continue to pass it is both seen and, more importantly, felt how the weather is changing. Not in the same manner as the seasons changing but the gradual rise of heat and the cold getting colder. I see this especially where I live, Arizona. This has been the hottest summer we have had in many years, and it predicted to get higher than this. The cause of this all is climate change.
The direct causes of tropical forests being lost are the expansions of commercial agriculture, augmented in different regions to different degrees by clearing for small-scale agriculture, extractive activities and roads and other infrastructure, with complex linkages among them.
