Preservation of the environment and social issues

Introduction
THE PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION OF THE
ENVIRONMENT is one of the most important issues facing
humankind today. The centrality of this issue was demonstrated when
the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 was awarded to AL Gore and the Inter-
Governmental Panel on Climate Change for their efforts to build up and
disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change. There
is an international movement today, cutting across the north-south
divide, to protect and preserve the environment. International law forms
a major part of this development. Within this body of international law,
dealing with protection of the environment, there exists a current of
thought which argues that right to a clean or healthy or satisfactory or
good environment has attained the status of a human right. The logical
corollary follows those human rights mechanism can be used to prevent
the degradation of the environment.

Many people take nature for granted and do not realize that they cannot
just reap from it. The Earth needs to be nourished in return, so it can
catch up with the people’s requirements. Everyone should assist in
preserving nature because someday it may start to vanish.

Eventually the Earth will cease to exist if people do not start caring for
the planet. The movie, The Road provides an excellent image of what
Earth will convert into. The scenery is nothing, but gray ash scattered
around. All plant life is gone. Without plants the animal and human
population dwindles down to almost nothing. The remaining individuals
look depressed or insane and have to scavenge for food. Is this what the
world will come to? Simple changes can save it from the doomed fate
that lies ahead. There is still time to do what is necessary, so enough
with wasting the glorious life in the world, and start doing what is right
now.
Everyone can help save the nature around us by acting out in many
different ways. Recycling, planting, using eco-friendly products, being
more conservative with products and bringing awareness to this horrid
matter are just a few simple acts that can cure the Earth. The greatest
change that could be made would be to get away from the usage of
gasoline. This need pollutes the air which can cause harmful effects on
plants and animals. Jim Clyburn said, “Environmental quality was
drastically improved while economic activity grew by the simple
expedient of removing lead from gasoline.” Smart cars are being made
that help the environment too, so if gasoline was not needed at all the
Earth would create more life. With more helpful changes the nature
around will flourish. There is nothing to lose, and caring for nature will
in return assist the human race.

Applying the necessary changes will allow everyone to witness the

beauty in Mother Nature. Clean air and fresh water will be major effects
that everyone will love. Plants will blossom and grow into beautiful
sights to behold. People will become happier with the spectacular views
surrounding them. Food and other resources will be plentiful as long as
it is replaced. All this sounds better than an ashy gray world. The
changes made will help preserve and expand nature.

Nature has always been important to everyone and everything in the

world. It provides nourishment and beauty for life. Simple changes can
be made to better Mother Earth, so start taking responsibility to make a
difference or else it may descend into nothing.
All the actions have brought a big change in this planet which resulted in
many environmental problems. Increasing demand of technologies and
industries in the modern time impacts the nature. The increasing
invention of new technologies has changed the interaction of people
with environment which permits more population to grow. The modern
technologies have immense power which has altered the whole
environment in an unimagined way. The indiscriminate use of
environment is the root of ecological crisis. Such continuous increase in
the technologies and human behavior are correspondingly very serious.
Such amazing technologies have become the reason of economic growth
in 20th century however it had dramatically affected the natural
resources.

Some of the environmental problems are rapid growth in world

population, deteriorating natural resources, diminishing forests and
wetlands, erosion of soil and coral reefs, depleting underground water,
regular shortage of fresh drinking water, vanishing plants, and
salinization in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Middle East. Some other
issues are loss of biodiversity, rapid extinction of some important animal
species, collapse of fisheries, rising air and water pollution, rise in
atmospheric temperature, thinning of ozone layer, spoiling rivers, seas
and underground resources.

Even though science and technology have radically altered the terms of
adaptation to the nature, we still need to adapt to the environment.
Human society is embedded in an environment. We must not forget that
the human being is first and foremost an animal, sharing living space
with other animal species in an environment on which they are mutually
dependent. It is our responsibility to save our environment and earth and
make the possibility of healthy and happy life here.

Increasing level of industrialization has countless harmful effects on the

atmosphere because of the poisonous chemical emissions and dangerous
wastes drainage in the big water resources such as Yamuna, Ganga, and
other rivers. The ever changing (negatively) environment is not the issue
of only some countries or government; it is the issue of whole human
fraternity because we all are the reason of this negatively declining
environment so we all are responsible to save our natural environment
for the healthy survival of life on the earth. Protecting the atmosphere is
the matter of high importance for all the present and future generations
of mankind. The main purpose of my speech today over the environment
is only to increase the public awareness among common people about
the reasons of declining environment as well as need of healthy and
natural environment for the life on earth. So, it is my humble request to
all of you that please contribute to save your environment.

We should realize our mistakes and concern about the environment in

order to keep it clean, safe and secure for the healthy life. Many of the
human activities like deforestation, industrialization, and technological
improvements and so many are leading our environment towards danger
and keeping lives at risk by influencing the growth, development and
survival of all organisms. Various types of environmental pollution such
as water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution, soil pollution, etc. are
disturbing the ecosystem and causing variety of health hazards to the
human beings and animals. Environmental pollution is damaging the
ecosystem and destroying the delicate balance of the natural ecosystem.
So, now-a-days environmental pollution is the matter of great concern
and consideration for which we all together follow some effective steps
and carry on until problems gets solved completely.
