Environments by facts

The Main Ingredient of the environment is air, water, and soil. Imbalances in nature could be disastrous. Although every ingredient gives symptoms differently but the summation of all these imbalances could finish the whole world.

Earth has limited resources. Only 3% of planet earth’s water is drinkable. 97 % of it is saltwater. More than half of the Earth’s freshwater can be found frozen in the glaciers. The rest is underground. On pollution in water, 6 to 8 million people die annually from water-borne diseases and disasters.

Whereas air pollution is increasing the temperature of the earth by adding gases carbon to pure air. Now The ozone layer “Hole” which is 29 million square kilometers, is expected to be fully healed in the next 55 years by banning chlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbon is heating up the earth's atmosphere. In the last 170 years, we added 2.4 trillion tons of CO2 into our atmosphere, Half of this was added in the last 35 to 50 years.

When we talk about soils. It touches the critical conditions. People have already even destroyed 27% of our coral reefs which is home to 25% of earth’s marine life. 160,000 plastic bags every second used by people went into the soil.

Global Oxygen Levels: A Worrisome Record Low

Global oxygen levels, a critical component of Earth’s life-support system, have reached their lowest point in recorded history, as demonstrated by recent data. The chart reveals a concerning trend in the decline of atmospheric oxygen (O₂) levels, now standing at their lowest as of February 15, 2023, with an O₂ concentration of -861.01 per meg. This measurement represents a 0.01332% decline compared to present-day atmospheric levels. While this number may appear small, its implications are anything but. Understanding the Trend Atmospheric oxygen has been on a steady decline for decades. This trend, visible in the chart, highlights a clear and consistent reduction in oxygen over the years. Seasonal fluctuations are evident, but the overarching pattern is downward. The data reflects the long-term impact of human activities, primarily fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, which consume oxygen and emit carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere. What’s Driving the Decline? Fossil Fu...

Environmental science of climate change

Environmental science is the study of the environment and the effects of human activities on it. Climate change is one of the most significant environmental issues that we face today, and environmental science plays a critical role in understanding its causes, impacts, and potential solutions. Climate change refers to the long-term changes in Earth's climate system, including temperature, precipitation, and sea level, resulting from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities release large amounts of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, into the atmosphere, which trap heat and cause global temperatures to rise. Environmental scientists study climate change through a variety of methods, including data collection, computer modelling, and laboratory experiments. They also investigate the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, human health, and the economy, and develop strategies to mitigate its effects...

Important days dedicated to the environment

The environment is a precious possession and keeping it for mankind is our moral responsibility. UN has dedicated some days to the environment as of 2019. Social care helps a lot to curb an environmental problem that becomes a base to move ahead of cause and effects. So It's important to keep social stamina for what you do for social welfare like social forestry. A list of important environmental is given below: Important Environmental Days (Source: Ministry of GOI) Month Date Day Division February 2 World Wetlands Day NRCD March 28 3 20 21 22 National Science Day World Wildlife Day World Sparrow Day International Day of Forests World Water Day ...
