The document discusses several environmental concerns facing the planet like global warming, pollution, and climate change. It notes these problems affect all humans, animals, and nations. Additionally, over the last few decades exploitation and degradation of the environment have increased, resulting in more frequent natural disasters. The document then presents three ways to prevent further damage: conserving water resources, improving air quality by reducing emissions, and minimizing waste production through reducing and recycling.
2. • Environmental Concerns. Our Mother Earth is
currently facing lot
of environmental concerns.
Theenvironmental problems like global
warming, acid rain, air pollution, urban
sprawl, waste disposal, ozone layer depletion,
water pollution, climate change and many
more affect every human, animal and nation
on this planet.
3. • Environmental Concerns
• Our Mother Earth is currently facing lot of environmental concerns.
The environmental problems like global warming, acid rain, air pollution, urban
sprawl, waste disposal, ozone layer depletion, water pollution, climate change and
many more affect every human, animal and nation on this planet. Over the last
few decades, the exploitation of our planet and degradation of our environment
have gone up at an alarming rate. As our actions have been not in favor of
protecting this planet, we have seen natural disasters striking us more often in the
form of flash floods, tsunamis and cyclones.

5. Preventing damage to the environment has
become a way of life for many people, with zero
waste, sustainable living and carbon footprint
reduction becoming common goals in
households and businesses across the nation.
Selecting even a few actions from the vast array
of options for greening the planet to incorporate
into daily activities can protect water resources,
improve air quality, reduce waste and raise
awareness of environmental issues.
7. • Conserve Water
• Conserving water not only extends our water
resources for use by future generations, it
protects the animals and plants that live in areas
with limited water availability. Easy ways to
conserve water include installing low-flow
fixtures in bathrooms and kitchens, planting a
native garden instead of a lawn in your yard,
taking short showers and fixing leaks immediately
8. • Clear the Air
• Taking action to improve air quality runs the
gamut from planting trees to filter the air to
purchasing green energy for residential use
and using ride-sharing, public, pedal or
pedestrian transport to reduce trips and
vehicle emissions
9. Reduce Waste
Reducing waste in combination with
recycling can reduce methane emissions,
save energy and increase forest carbon
sequestration. Waste reduction actions
include reusing and buying used or
recycled items, choosing items in less
packaging and purchasing fewer items
that could end up in a landfill
10. Reflection
We should learn how to protect our
environment for us to be safe and far
from calamity.
Save earth for our future!
