Role of human being to maintain pollution free world !

The role of human beings in maintaining a pollution-free world is paramount. Pollution has adverse effects on human health, biodiversity, and the environment in general. Pollution of air, water, and soil can lead to the emergence of new diseases, respiratory problems, cancer, and other health issues.

To ensure that we have a pollution-free world, human beings should play a critical role in maintaining the equilibrium of the natural environment 1. This can be achieved by reducing the amount of pollution that we produce through various activities such as transportation, industrial processes, and energy production. The adoption of sustainable practices in agriculture, forestry, and fishing can also reduce the level of pollution in the environment.

Human beings should take control of their lifestyle choices that impact the environment. The adoption of eco-friendly diets that include plant-based foods can reduce pollution associated with animal agriculture. Also, how human beings manage their waste disposal systems within their ecosystem plays an essential role in controlling pollution. Proper waste management helps in controlling the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere, which contribute to air pollution.

Improving energy efficiency in industries, buildings, and transportation can also be an effective way of reducing pollution. The introduction of renewable energy such as solar, wind, and hydro can aid in reducing pollution by reducing reliance on nonrenewable energy sources.

Human beings should also take a leadership role in promoting policies that reduce pollution. Governments and institutions can enact laws and regulations that limit pollution from industries, factories, and transport systems. Additionally, collective action from governments and civil society organizations can help in addressing pollution at the global level.

There are various organizations and initiatives globally that are working towards the reduction of pollution. For instance, the Nature Conservatory aims to conserve lands and waters on which all life depends, and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which aims to provide leadership and encourage partnerships in caring for the environment.

10 Best Ways to Reduce Air Pollution

1. Using public transports :

Using public transport is a sure short way of contributing to less air pollution as it provides with less gas and energy, even carpools contribute to it. In addition to less release of fuels and gas, using a public transport can also help in saving money. Lesser vehicles on roads will contribute to lesser emissions. Using public transport will help in:

Reducing the overall emissions

Number of vehicles reduced on the roads

Lesser traffic congestion episodes

It is pocket friendly alternative

2. Turn off the lights when not in use

The energy that the lights take also contribute to air pollution, thus less consumption of electricity can save energy. Use energy saving fluorescent lights to help the environment.

3. Recycle and Reuse

The concept of recycle and reuse is not just conserve resources and use them judicially but also is helpful for air pollution as it helps in reducing pollution emissions. The recycled products also take less power to make other products.

4. No to plastic bags

The use of plastic products could be very harmful to the environment as they take a very long time to decompose, due to their material made up of oil. The use of paper bags instead is a better alternative as they decompose easily and are recyclable.

5. Reduction of forest fires and smoking

The collecting of garbage and getting it on fire in dry seasons or dry leaves catching fires is a huge factor for causing air pollution, moreover smoking also causes air pollution and causes the air quality to worsen along with obviously damaging one’s health.

6. Use of fans instead of Air Conditioner

The usage of AC’s takes a lot of energy and emits a lot of heat which is bad for the environment. AC’s also take a lot of power and energy to work as compared to fans.

7. Use filters for chimneys

The gas that is emitted from fireplaces in homes and factories are extremely dangerous for air pollution and harms the air quality severely. The use of filters should be used at least if the consumption couldn’t be lessened, this will help to reduce the effect of harmful gases absorbing in the air.

8. Avoid usage of crackers

The use of crackers during festivals and weddings is sadly one of the biggest contributors to air pollution, leading to a layer of smog which is extremely harmful for health. So, practice of no crackers should be implemented.

9. Avoid using of products with chemicals

Products that use the chemicals in their usage or smell strongly, like paints or perfumes should be used less or outside the house. There can also be an alternative to use products with low chemical content and organic properties.

10. Implement Afforestation

Last but not the least, plant and grow as many trees as possible. The practice of planting trees provides a lot of benefits to the environment and helps with the release of oxygen.

In conclusion,

Human beings play an essential role in maintaining a pollution-free world. We have the responsibility to adopt sustainable practices, take control of our lifestyles, and promote policies that reduce pollution. Pollution reduction initiatives can be taken at an individual, community, national, and global level to ensure that the world remains a healthy and habitable environment for both humans and other living creatures.
