Reducing Pollution Of Every Kind

We can all work together to discover solutions to the massive problems in reducing pollution of all kinds. It can be done.

What is Pollution Prevention?
Pollution prevention is any practice that reduces, eliminates, or prevents pollution at its source. P2, also known as "source reduction," is the ounce-of-prevention approach to waste management. Reducing the amount of pollution product means less waste to control, treat, or dispose of. Less pollution means less hazards posed to public health and the environment.

Specific Pollution Prevention Approaches
Pollution prevention approaches can be applied to all potential and actual pollution-generating activities, including those found in the energy, agriculture, federal, consumer and industrial sectors. Prevention Prevention practices are essential for preserving wetlands, groundwater sources and other critical ecosystems-areas in which we especially want to stop pollution before it begins.

In the energy sector, pollution prevention can reduce environmental damages from extraction, processing, transport and combustion of fuels. Pollution prevention approaches include:

Increasing efficiency in energy use;
Use of environmentally benign fuel sources.

In the agricultural sector, pollution prevention approaches include:

Reducing the use of water and chemical inputs
Adoption of less environmentally harmful pesticides or cultivation of crop strains with natural resistance to pests; and
Protection of sensitive areas.

+In the industrial sector, Examples of reducing pollution practices include:

Modifying a production process to produce less waste
Using non-toxic or less toxic chemicals as cleaners, degreasers and other maintenance chemicals
Implementing water and energy conservation practices
Reusing materials such as drums and pallets rather than disposing of them as waste

+In homes and school examples of reducing pollution practices include:

Using reusable water bottles instead of throw-away
Automatically turning off light when not in use
Repairing leaky faucets and hoses
Switching to "Green" cleaners

WHY IS POLLUTION PREVENTION IMPORTANT?
Pollution prevention reduces both financial costs(waste management and cleanup) and environmental costs (health problems and environmental damage). Pollution prevention protects the environment by conserving and protecting natural resources while strengthening economic growth through more efficient production in industry and less need for households, businesses and communities to handle waste.

What is The Global Warming?-

What does the Oxford Dictionary say about it? Global Warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased by levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other Pollutions. How about that in simple language... Global Warming is an effect to unusually rapid increases in Earth's average surface temperatures over the past 100 years mostly because of greenhouse gases release by humans and nature burning fossil and natural fuels. 1.What are the effects of Global Warming? Global Warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by mostly the activities of people, primarily because of the purposeful burning of fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide, vehicle exhausts, methane's and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Also, natural causes occurring by releases of smoke through forest fires and volcanic explosions. The effects ar...

Solutions to Deforestation

1.Government Regulations The best solution to deforestation is to curb the felling of trees by enforcing a series of rules and laws to govern it. Deforestation in the current scenario may have reduced; however, it would be too early to assume. The money-Churner nature of forest resources can be tempting enough for deforestation to continue. 2.Banning Clear-Cutting of Forests This will curb the total depletion of the forest cover. It is a practical Solution and is very Feasible. 3.Reforestation and Afforestation Land skinned of its tree cover for urban settlements should be urged to plant trees in the vicinity and replace the cut trees. Also, the cutting must be replaced by planting Young Trees to replace the older ones that were cut. Trees are being planted under several initiatives every year, but they still don't match the numbers of the ones we've already lost. 4.Reduce Consumption of Paper Your daily consumption of paper includes printing paper, notebooks, napkins, toilet p...
