Protecting the Environment: Everyone’s Responsibility

The Current State of Environmental Pollution

The environment is facing numerous serious challenges, including air, water, and soil pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change. Air pollution causes respiratory and cardiovascular diseases; water pollution directly impacts human health and ecosystems; plastic waste is clogging rivers and oceans, threatening the lives of many creatures. Climate change, with its extreme weather events, is increasingly threatening the stability of the global ecosystem.

Causes of Environmental Pollution

Rapid and uncontrolled industrial development, inadequate waste management, excessive use of fossil fuels, indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources, and limited environmental awareness among people are the main causes of increasingly severe environmental pollution.
