Not A BIG DEAL! Only few steps can control the pollution

Remember that every human being needs breathable pure air and not everyone can afford an air purifier.  That's why it is important to keep the air clean! Every human being needs to drink pure drinking water and not everyone can afford a water purifier.  That's why it is important to keep the water clean! So, it is important that we change our habits against pollution and adopt cleanliness in daily life.

Our climate is our life. Unfortunately our climate is changing because of our irregularities. "Climate change" sounds like a heavy word and it seems to concern scientists and not ordinary citizens.  But just think that pollution is increasing in the air we are breathing, and then it is certain that we have a direct relationship with climate change.  If we are to be healthy and live long, we have to pay attention to this change and take measures to stop it.  Now we rarely see colorful delicate butterflies around us, because we have not left the gardens around us.

Few weeks ago at Glasgow, 31 October to 12 November 2021, Scientist, social activist, futurist, politician,  older, younger lot of people were gathered to think about the future of the earth and human beings. At the meeting, countries were also expected to raise their climate ambitions, building on their current climate pledges, or Nationally Determined Contributions. China, Japan, South Korea, France and the UK have already set deadlines for their economies to become carbon neutral, meaning they will emit less than they are able to absorb. Well, Germany reduced his carbon footprint last black coal mines closed. It is a good example for other countries. But, in the third world countries have their own issues with the problem of pollution. By the way, 'Carbon Footprint' means the total carbon emissions made by an entity, individual or product.  It's hard isn't it!  So in simple words it can be said that large populations and factories emit large amounts of carbon.  The easiest and most effective way to reduce it is to plant more and more trees.

In the developing countries Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan the number of people residing in these countries constitute about one-quarter of the global population. Pollution is 44% higher in these countries today compared to 20 years ago. Bangladesh leads the way of these countries, with the worst pollution output in the world. In developing nations, 98% of those in cities live in areas where pollution exceeds the WHO guidelines, while in developed nations, this number drops to 56%. These levels of pollution cause over three million deaths per year, which developing countries clearly have a much larger problem.

Solar, wind, water, geothermal, biomass and nuclear energy are called clean energy. Solar energy is simply the light and heat that come from the sun. People can harness the sun's energy in a few different ways: Photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. Wind energy describes the process by which wind is used to generate electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. A generator can convert mechanical power into electricity. Thermal energy, internal energy present in a system in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium by virtue of its temperature. Thermal energy cannot be converted to useful work as easily as the energy of systems that are not in states of thermodynamic equilibrium. Water energy is energy derived from the power of water, most often its motion. Energy sources using water have been around for thousands of years in the form of water clocks and waterwheels. A more recent innovation has been hydroelectricity, or the electricity produced by the flow of water over dams. Biomass is a renewable energy source because we can always grow more trees and crops, and waste will always exist. Some examples of biomass fuels are wood, crops, manure, and some garbage. Most developing countries have abundant renewable energy resources, including solar energy, wind power, geothermal energy, and biomass. But, they have faced a crisis of pollution due to their own habits.

So, we should take steps to reduce pollution in our daily life. How is it possible? No big deal, only a few steps can reduce the pollution. Best ways to reduce pollution are using public transports, turn off the lights when not in use, recycle and reuse, say 'no' to plastic bags, reduction of forest fires and smoking, use of fans instead of air conditioner, prefer the renewable energy as air, water, solar, thermal, biomass energy. Remember that every human being needs breathable pure air and not everyone can afford an air purifier.  That's why it is important to keep the air clean! Every human being needs to drink pure drinking water and not everyone can afford a water purifier.  That's why it is important to keep the water clean! So, it is important that we change our habits against pollution and adopt cleanliness in daily life.
