Hello, I have been writing an essay on pollution for a while now and I've finally finished it, here is what I wrote.
Pollution is a major threat and in this essay, I explain why and how we can solve it. The main cause of pollution is us, humans, because of us wanting to evolve and improve it has led us to trash the earth and ruin our future on this planet. The main impact of pollution is global warming and health issues such as lung cancer come with it as pollution gets worse and eventually, the planet will become uninhabitable, and finally, the biggest solution to pollution is human extinction which is very extreme and unlikely to be our first choice.
The causes of pollution are not just limited to fossil fuels and carbon emissions. There are a lot of other types of pollution including chemical pollution into bodies of water and soil through improper disposal and agricultural activities. The combustion of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, and other factory combustibles is a major cause of air pollution. These are generally used in power plants, manufacturing facilities, and waste incinerators, as well as furnaces and other types of fuel-burning heating devices.
Pollution may cause muddy landscapes, poison soils, and waterways, or kill plants and animals. Humans are also regularly harmed by pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer, and other diseases. Air pollution is considered as the major environmental risk factor in the incidence and progression of some diseases such as asthma, lung cancer, ventricular hypertrophy, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, psychological complications, autism, retinopathy, fetal growth, and low birth weight.
The most basic solution for air pollution is to move away from fossil fuels, replacing them with alternative energies like solar, wind, and geothermal. Producing clean energy is crucial. But equally important is to reduce our consumption of energy by adopting responsible habits and using more efficient devices. We can also try modifying a production process to produce less waste. Implementing water and energy conservation practices, reusing materials such as drums and pallets rather than disposing of them as waste.
Pollution is a very serious problem and is very difficult to solve because of how badly it has gotten and how hard it is to solve it. Writing this essay has helped me understand how pollution can be solved and dire our situation is, so my respect for people who are trying to solve pollution has gone up.
