The impact of humanity on earth

                                         


Nowadays, pollution tortures human life because it is everywhere, and especially in big cities or in cities where industry is developing. How can human behavior play a negative role and increase pollution?
In 2018, humans consumed in 8 months all the natural resources that the earth produces in a year; that is to say, they ask more of the land than what it can offer. But in fact, not all countries use the same amount of resources; rich countries have a 5x larger ecological footprint than countries that are developing but not as developed as the rich ones. And studies show that if all countries lived like the Americans, humanity will need 5 planets. To continue eating, drinking and getting warm, humans overuse resources and play a negative role, since they do those following actions: Deforestation: tear up trees instead of planting (because of the intensive construction of new buildings).Intense fishing: there are far fewer fish than we catch. Excessive use of meat and the disappearance of animals. Daily use of transport which emits dangerous gases into the air. The dumping of waste in water: the toxic elements which are discharged can infiltrate the water table.The disappearance of vegetation due to air and water pollution The development of factories.
So to avoid having this lack of resources or to avoid killing the earth and ourselves, we must take measures and take actions to limit pollution such as: Using different types of energy instead of using electricity, (for example wind, solar, , hydraulic, friction, etc.)Not wasting water, reusable bags, papers ...Carpooling (joint and organized use of a motor car).Encourage public transport or cycling and walking. Limit unnecessary travel. Pay attention to the waste of light. Eat less meat. Reduce the use of paper. Sort and recycle waste. Buy energy efficient appliances. Plant more. Do not use chemicals.
In conclusion, we must be aware of our environmental impact and act every day to preserve the earth
