A possible solution

What is pollution and with what is related to?. First we need to define what beneficial uses are;
for example with water the beneficial uses are: water consumption by humans and animals,
commercial fishing or recreational, navigation, recreation associate with contact or without it,
water life conservation, industrial uses. If one or more of these beneficial uses are restricted, the
water body is polluted. The same logic thinking can be applied to the atmosphere and the
damage to the environment and in the last years we have seen the effects of pollution, most of
all associate with Carbon emissions, water pollution, etc. and fortunately scientist from all the
world have remarked the danger that people are incurring if they do not stop and change their
lifestyle.
I would like to state that the solution to environmental contamination has to be done by all
inhabitants on the earth owing to the activities that caused more damage are developed by most
of the people on the planet. Therefore, supporting political tendencies related to new kinds of
renewable energies is one thing that persons could do as individuals to make a real change,
other actions can lead by example but do not make a big difference in the actual situation.
Travelling and commuting are good examples of actions that inhabitants do, and they are related
with transport which is one of the most polluting conducts since most of them are operated by
fossil fuels. Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect that is also related to
greenhouses gases (between them are Carbon Dioxide, methane and nitrous dioxide), most of
these gases are produced by burning fossil fuels in transport modes. Also the combustion of
these liquid fuels as gasoline, jet fuel, etc. used overall in transport, have reached 36% of the per
cent distribution of greenhouse emissions. Consequently, all inhabitants on the earth need to
take action on this issue.
In addition, contamination in rivers and seas, in most of the cases, is produced by cities or
factories. In the world only less than 15% of the waste water is treated in primary or secondary
treatment waste water plants1. As result, with the past of the time more and more water bodies
are polluted and cannot be use for drinking water. Consequently, governments need to give
enough resources in order to construct infrastructure that protects the water from pollution and
has to create strict environmental policies.
Furthermore, the deforestation is another reason of the increasing levels in air pollution, as it is
the action of the plants and trees which makes it possible to reduce the concentration of
greenhouse gases. Moreover, part of the wood that is created by deforestation is burned for
1 Primary treatment is a physical and secondary consist in a biological process to reduce organic
matter.

cooking or other purposes, then more greenhouses gases are produced and there are not trees
that can catch these Carbon particles as aliment.
Finally, is good to enhance that the youth of the world have in their hands the right to ask for a
better future and fortunately the technology for correct past mistakes is available for everyone.
