Pollution

Hey there, today in this blog, I wanted to talk about pollution, pollution that is spreading at a very high rate and it is destroying people's lives. Let us get started!

                There is a phrase, which says, “If there is profit to one then there will be a loss to others." In the case of our lives, if we need development, then there will be heights of pollution. We can say 'Tit for tat.' Now there will be questions arising in your mind that 'how can we develop?' the answer to this question is easy if you want to develop and it leads to pollution then you should grow more and more tress day by day. Let us get into the definition and types of pollution. Keep following!

                Pollution refers to the addition of contaminating substances to the natural environment resulting in an adverse impact on the environment. Pollution can be of different types depending on which part of the environment it is affecting.

There are mainly three types of pollution:

Air pollution: The type of pollution in which, there are harmful or poisonous effects of a substance, which is introduced in the air. An example of air pollution can be ‘burning crackers.’

Water pollution: The type of pollution in which, harmful substances or contaminants enter water bodies. An example of water pollution can be 'throwing factory wastes into rivers.'

Noise pollution: The type of pollution in which, there is an excessive sound that can have deleterious effects on human health and environmental quality. Example of noise pollution can be ‘listening to loud music in sound systems.’

There are more types of pollution like light pollution, plastic pollution, thermal pollution, visual pollution, radioactive contamination, soil pollution.

After the types of pollution, I want you all to think of the amount of pollution you see in your daily life, share your answers in the comment section.

                As we, all know Delhi is the capital of India, and it is one of the most populated states in India and not just a populated but polluted city too. People say that we are developing thus there is a lot of pollution, this can be one of the reasons for pollution in Delhi, let us think of more reasons and again share answers in the comment section. Some of the reasons can be “the pollution coming out of the factories, the pollution because of vehicles running all day on the busy roads.” These reasons can be applied in any month of the year but there is a month in the year when Delhi becomes a gas chamber and this is the month of Diwali. This festival is hugely celebrated in India and in the celebration of this festival people light up their house and some people spend a lot of their money on buying crackers. The people who celebrate Diwali by burning cracker shows a lot of happiness and craze but have you thought of the environment? Have you thought of the causes and effects of pollution?

 The pollution is causing one big problem of global warming; making the earth warmer and the changing of climate every year. The glaciers are melting day by day, which is causing the long-term freshwater to melt into rivers. I think our future is in danger, isn't it? What are we doing to save it?

                Let us get into some geography of the planet! We live on planet Earth, where water covers 71%, and the land covers 29% of total Earth’s surface. It means that we have 29% of land and the total population of Earth is 7.7 billion; now imagine how many trees would be needed to produce much oxygen for all the people of the world, and then imagine the deforestation, which is ending all the forests and wildlife. Being human, what are we doing to our planet Earth? Are we healing it or are we giving it more injuries? There is one line written in my English book that says "We have not inherited this earth from our forefathers; we have borrowed it from our children." This simply means that we borrowed Earth from our children and we should return it safe and with no harm.

 If I specifically talk about Delhi then people are not living every day but they are dying every day by living in a gas chamber. The people have changed the weather conditions in the capital of India, now the winters come late, the rainy season comes for a short period and the summers are for a longer period. The only reason for pollution is the people, now the people are becoming the most dangerous animals for Earth! Some people are working every day to make a better world, but at the same time, some people are making a harder future. 

I wanted to share some news that “by the end of 2019, Earth’s temperature will increase by 4-6 degrees centigrade, which will lead in doubling the amount of co2 in the atmosphere.” We can say that global warming is rising at a very high rate, it is destroying biodiversity, and I think if this continues then life will be impossible on Earth, but we have the time to improve and to take decisions. 

Let’s not blame each other because it will only lead to conflicts between people, and we don’t have to fight but we have to save our planet, so lets come together and take initiative steps to neglect the pollution from our Earth!

                In the end, I just want to discuss some solutions of this pollution, let us share our answers to this question “what am I doing to save the planet Earth?” in the comment section. Is planting trees a good idea? Yes! Planting trees every day and taking care of your plants will give oxygen, greenery and a solution to pollution. Now, will you plant trees? The ban on plastic polythene had stopped soil pollution to some extent. These steps show that there are people who are working for a better future.  Let us show some humanity, save this planet from all types of pollution, and make it safe for future generations to live on the planet Earth. Do not look for mars to live, just make our Earth better and make it the best planet to live in!
