Environment is what is around something. It can be
living or non-living things.
It includes physical, chemical and other natural
forces. Living things live in their environment. They
constantly interact with it and change in response to
conditions in their environment. In the environment
there are interactions between animals, plants, soil,
water, and other living and non-living things.
Since everything is part of the environment of
something else, the word 'environment' is used to talk
about many things.
1. Littering. Most people do not deliberately trash the environment, but
almost everyone carelessly litters now and then. It takes a conscious effort
to put refuse in its place, from cigarette butts and plastic water bottles to
food packaging seen on the sides of roads and often within several feet of
waste bins.
2. Wasting Food. Most leftovers can be frozen and reheated for
future meals. Most packaged goods can be used long after
their supposed expiration dates. Nevertheless, up to 14% of all
food purchased in the United States ends up in the trash.
10. Ignorance. It is hard to make changes for the better when one’s
own contributions to the problem are unknown. A good place to
start learning is by knowing the size of your own Carbon
Footprint. The result provides an indicator of where meaningful
adjustments can be made.
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the
natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the
form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or
light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign
substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants.
These are the types of environmental problem:
Air Pollution
Water Pollution
Land Pollution
Noise Pollution
Air pollution occurs when harmful substances including particulates and
biological molecules are introduced into Earth`s atmosphere. It may cause
diseases, allergies or death of humans; it may also cause harm to other living
organisms such as animals and food crops, and may damage the natural
or built environment. Human activity and natural processes can both generate
air pollution
Water Pollution is the contamination of water bodies(e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans,
aquifers and groundwater). This form of environmental degradation occurs when
pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without
adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.
Water pollution affects the entire biosphere – plants and organisms living in
these bodies of water. In almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to
individual species and population, but also to the natural biological communities.
Noise pollution or noise disturbance is the disturbing or excessive noise that
may harm the activity or balance of human or animal life. The source of most
outdoor noise worldwide is mainly caused by machines and transportation
systems, motor vehicles engines, aircraft, and trains. Outdoor noise is summarized

planning may give rise to noise pollution, since side-by-side industrial and
residential buildings can result in noise pollution in the residential areas.
Documented problems associated with urban noise go back as far as Ancient
Rome.
Here are 10 simple ways to conserve and protect the environment through small
changes to your daily routine for a better world for you, your family, your
community and all living things now and forever.
1. Create a compost heap in your garden or use a compost bin. This helps recycle
food waste and other biodegradable materials.
2. When going shopping, make it a habit to bring your own eco-bags and say no to
plastic bags as much as possible.
7. Send your drinking bottles, paper, used oil, old batteries and used tires to
a depot for recycling or safe disposal; all these very cause serious pollution.
8. Do not pour chemicals and waste oil on to the ground or into drains
leading to bodies of water.
10. Reduce the amount of meat you eat, or even better become vegetarian.
