HELP STOP POLLUTION!
Millions of marine animals die each year from plastic pollution and other human threats like oil spills, chemicals, and fishing gear. Pollution enters oceans from sources on land, with plastic debris making up 60-95% of marine pollution. Simple actions like recycling, cleaning beaches, and not releasing balloons can help reduce waste that harms sea life. Most ocean trash comes from land-based activities, threatening marine animals and coating beaches with indestructible plastic.
Plastic bags created by anchi
Plastic bags have several disadvantages: they are made from non-renewable petrochemicals, are flimsy and not durable, and can harm wildlife if improperly disposed of. Less than 1% of plastic bags are recycled and they do not biodegrade easily in landfills. When littered, plastic bags can be mistaken as food by animals and contaminate waterways. Several countries have implemented policies like bans, taxes, and prohibitions on plastic bags which has significantly reduced their use and helped protect the environment.
Marine Debris
Marine debris poses threats to both wildlife and humans. Plastic waste is often mistaken as food by animals, which can lead to choking, entanglement, or infections. Large debris can damage coral reefs and disrupt marine habitats. Common sources of marine debris include illegal dumping, abandoned fishing gear, and litter carried into waterways by storms or wind. To help address this issue, people should reduce single-use plastics, reuse items whenever possible, recycle properly, and participate in beach and coastal cleanup events to remove debris from oceans and waterways.
Ocean debris - Amber
Ocean debris, also known as marine debris or marine litter, is human-made waste that ends up in bodies of water. While some natural debris like driftwood has occurred for thousands of years, plastic pollution has severely increased as plastic does not biodegrade. Animals often mistake debris for food which can cause injury or death when it blocks their digestive systems. Toxic chemicals from plastic can also leak into waters. Various methods are used to remove debris from beaches and coastlines, but much remains floating in oceans. Common debris items include plastic bags, bottles, balloons, fishing nets, and other materials from ships. Studies show 80% of debris is plastic, which is especially harmful as it never decomposes and can kill over one
Silvana
Water pollution is a major global issue. Only 1% of the world's water is accessible freshwater, yet water usage is exceeding natural replenishment rates. Nearly half of the world's population lacks access to clean drinking water. Common causes of water pollution include agricultural runoff containing fertilizers and pesticides, oil spills, trash dumping, and untreated sewage. To help address this problem, organizations work on conservation efforts and treating contaminated water sources. Individual actions like reducing water usage and properly disposing of waste can also make a difference.
Ocean Pollution Research
The document contains summaries from several student groups on how trash affects marine life and oceans. Group 1 discusses how plastic can be mistaken as food by sea creatures, leading to starvation, and how trash affects ocean plants. Group 2 examines the pollution caused by fishing boats and drains. Group 3 outlines ways to prevent trash from reaching the oceans like reducing waste and organizing beach cleanups. Group 4 defines the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and how plastic gets into the ocean through drains, boats, land, and factories. Group 5 organized a beach cleanup event and provided steps for holding one.
Marine Debris
Marine debris is any man-made item that does not belong in the ocean. It can directly harm ocean life through ingestion or entanglement, and indirectly by damaging coral reefs and beaches. It also poses economic costs through impacts on tourism, fishing, and navigation, and human health risks from injuries. Sources of marine debris include improper individual and industrial waste disposal, poor waste management by municipalities, and natural disasters. Reducing, reusing, and recycling can help address this problem by decreasing the amount of trash that enters waterways and oceans.
Great Pacific Garbage Patch
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a large area of floating plastic debris and trash located between Hawaii and California. It consists of items like plastic bottles, bags, fishing nets, and other garbage that has accumulated in the ocean. This waste threatens wildlife like birds, sea turtles, and seals that often mistake plastic for food or get entangled in it, causing injury or death. Cleanup efforts are underway but difficult given the size and remote nature of the garbage patch.

Curse of plastic
- Plastic pollution has severe impacts on the environment and economy as marine life consumes plastic and dies from choking, blockages or starvation. Scientists are also investigating effects on human health.
- Nearly 80% of marine litter originates on land, mostly plastic, and plastic pollution affects waterways and oceans globally. Cleaning up plastic costs taxpayers and threatens tourism.
- Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose and is often mistaken as food by marine animals, becoming entangled in their stomachs or breathing passages. The only effective solution is to reduce single-use plastics at the source by promoting recycling and reusable alternatives.
Plastic bottles (sofia nedkova e1 a)
Plastic water bottles are a major source of pollution in oceans, with over 90% of bottles not being recycled and ending up in oceans. This presents dangers to marine life, as animals can become entangled or ingest plastic debris. The presentation urges people to help address this issue by choosing reusable water bottles or cups instead of single-use plastic bottles, which would reduce plastic pollution in oceans and its harmful impacts on ecosystems and species. Reducing plastic bottle usage would also help mitigate the effects of global warming by decreasing pollution.
Big Island Dairy: Going Green
The document discusses dairy farm pollution and how Big Island Dairy in Hawaii is pursuing more sustainable practices. It notes that manure from dairy farms can contaminate water sources and increase greenhouse gases like methane. Big Island Dairy has 1300 cows and grows corn as feed on 2500 acres. To be more sustainable, the dairy plans to expand with new barns and install a methane digester to capture methane from manure for energy production. This would reduce energy and fertilizer costs while minimizing environmental impacts.
Wetlands: The Kidneys of our Waterways
Wetlands are highly biodiverse ecosystems that provide many important functions. They act as filters for pollutants in waterways before reaching rivers and oceans, making them like the "kidneys" of water systems. Wetlands support a wide variety of plants and animals, including as habitat and refuges. However, wetlands are often overlooked and considered "wastelands" despite their significance. Activities during World Wetlands Week aim to increase awareness of wetlands and encourage their protection.
Unit 03 part 02 water
This document discusses different types of water based on salinity levels, including fresh water, marine water, and brackish water. It provides examples of where each type can be found and emphasizes the importance of water for life on Earth. The document notes that while water covers most of the planet, only a small percentage is available for human consumption. It discusses issues like water pollution and the need to conserve our limited fresh water resources.
Ocean Pollution
Ocean pollution, especially from plastic, is a serious problem that harms ocean life. Tens of thousands of animals like fish, seabirds, turtles, seals, and other sea mammals die every year from eating plastic or getting tangled in it. As plastic breaks down in the ocean, it releases toxic chemicals that enter the food chain and can harm humans. Individuals can help reduce plastic pollution by using reusable bags, water bottles, and recycling disposable plastics to help protect ocean animals and the environment.

This is my presentation for the World Wetlands Day celebration. Testified wetland's significance, awareness, and ways to conserve. Finally, conducted a quiz for more interactions.
Marine debris discussion
Marine debris comes from both land-based and ocean-based sources, with 80% originating on land. It has a variety of negative impacts on coastal ecosystems, such as entanglement, ingestion, and serving as a vector for toxic pollutants. Efforts to clean up marine debris include removing debris already in the oceans, installing filters on storm drains to intercept debris before it reaches waterways, and enacting laws and regulations to reduce future debris entering the environment.
Martha’s Vineyard Ocean Sustainability
This document discusses ocean sustainability efforts on Martha's Vineyard. It outlines the importance of oceans, the island's dependence on water historically and currently, challenges like nitrogen pollution and overfishing, and various organizations working on conservation and education including the Martha's Vineyard Commission, Wampanoag Tribe, Vineyard Conservation Society, and MVYLI's ocean sustainability program.
Ocean ecosystem summative
The document discusses the ocean ecosystem located off the coast of Surabaya, Indonesia near Kenjeran Beach. It notes that 80% of life is found in the ocean and describes some of the biotic and abiotic components as well as the interdependencies between living and non-living things. However, the ocean is facing problems of pollution from rubbish, oil spills, and overfishing which are negatively impacting populations. Potential actions are suggested such as reducing plastic use, waste, and consumption of seafood to help protect ocean life and coral reefs.

Water pollution
Water pollution is a serious global problem. It has various causes like industrial waste, marine dumping, oil spills, and agricultural runoff. This contamination affects ecosystems, spreads disease, and impacts food safety and access to clean water. Innovative solutions are being developed like the Great Bubble Barrier which uses air bubbles to divert waste in rivers, ferrofluid that binds microplastics magnetically, and devices like the Seabin and Wasteshark that collect floating trash from ports and harbors.
SIFE Project - Dangers of Plastic Bags
Plastic bags take hundreds of years to degrade, breaking down into toxic particles that pollute soil and waterways. They are one of the most common forms of debris found along coastlines. The production of plastic bags uses over 12 million barrels of oil per year worldwide. In the US alone, over 1,000,000 plastic bags are discarded every minute, totaling over 16,000 bags thrown away every second. Plastic pollution not only affects humans but other animals as well.
Plastic Bottles & Ocean Pollution
Plastic is poisoning our oceans and a lot of that plastic comes from plastic beverage bottles. Stop using disposable plastic water bottles and switch to using filtered tap water in reusable water bottles. It's easy to do. It will help save the ocean. It will save you money.
Curse of plastic
- Plastic pollution has severe impacts on the environment and economy as marine life consumes plastic and dies from choking, blockages or starvation. Scientists are also investigating effects on human health.
- Most marine litter originates on land as plastic, which does not biodegrade and remains in oceans for hundreds of years, harming marine animals that ingest it by accident.
- Solutions include reducing single-use plastics, improving recycling programs, encouraging producers to use less plastic packaging and helping to cover costs of preventing plastic from reaching oceans. Individual action like bringing reusable bags to stores can help address the global problem of plastic pollution in waterways.
Ocean waste
The document discusses different types of waste found in oceans, with a focus on plastic pollution. The most problematic waste is plastic, which does not biodegrade and can be harmful if ingested by marine life. Common plastic waste items in oceans include bags, bottles, and lost fishing gear. China and other Asian countries are the largest contributors to ocean plastic pollution. Ingested plastic can cause starvation and death in ocean animals like seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals. The document also provides tips for reducing plastic waste to help address this problem.
Plastic Pollution is the very common pollution need to look after
Pollution is the main cause to degrade soil and water and make many disturbances in under water and soil formation due to long period of degradation
Ojasvita Chauhan-problem facing today's world
Plastic is a type of polymer produced from petrochemicals that has become widely used due to its low cost and abundance. However, plastic pollution has become a major threat to marine life and the environment. Huge areas of the ocean surface, known as garbage patches, contain large amounts of plastic waste which can be ingested or entangle marine animals. Many everyday plastic items like bags, bottles, and packaging are used only once before being discarded and eventually making their way into oceans, where they do not biodegrade. Reducing single-use plastics and increasing recycling can help address this growing environmental problem.

Harmful effects of plastics in our marine environment
Plastic pollution is a major problem affecting the world's oceans. Plastics do not degrade quickly, with some items taking hundreds of years to break down. As a result, large amounts of plastic waste enter the oceans each year, harming wildlife through entanglement, ingestion, and chemical exposure. Over 100 million marine animals die annually due to plastic. Solutions include reducing single-use plastic consumption, reusing products more than once, recycling plastics and other materials, and participating in beach and ocean cleanup efforts.
Oceanic trash
The document discusses garbage patches in oceans, specifically the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It is the largest accumulation of ocean plastic in the world, located between Hawaii and California. The patch contains debris ranging in size from large abandoned fishing nets to microplastics. It is estimated to cover 1.6 million square kilometers and contain over 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic, weighing around 80,000 tons. The plastic harms marine life and enters the human food chain. Solutions proposed include cleaning up existing patches using interceptor systems and preventing further plastic from rivers by intercepting waste before it reaches the oceans.

They provide key facts and figures on marine litter and pollution to support their campaigns and awareness efforts.
Pollution in the Oceans
The document summarizes several types of pollution that are negatively impacting the world's oceans. Over 80% of ocean pollution comes from land runoff, with plastic pollution being a significant problem. Marine debris, especially plastic, kills over one million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles each year. Other issues include oil spills, fertilizer and sewage runoff causing dead zones, and accumulation of toxic chemicals in marine life and seafood.
Environment Fun Facts.pptx
Around 27,000 trees are cut down daily to produce toilet paper, equivalent to 9.8 million trees annually. Recycling a single edition of the New York Times could save 75,000 trees. Humans use only 1% of available water, with oceans holding 96.5% including plastic waste that kills over 1 million sea animals yearly. Greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide contribute to climate change, while waste production is highest in the US and plastic takes centuries to degrade, polluting oceans and landscapes. Reducing plastic use through reusable containers and bags can help curb pollution.
Recycling Project
This document discusses the importance of recycling and its benefits. It states that recycling is the process of separating, collecting and remanufacturing used or waste products into new materials. It explains that recycling helps nature, ourselves and our future by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from landfills, conserving energy in production processes, and reducing plastic pollution in oceans that kills many marine animals. The document encourages recycling to help address these environmental issues.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
