Unfortunately, man's activities have degraded his own environment.
His interference with the ecological balance has opened the eyes of the world.
Man must face environmental issues and bring his activities back in balance with the natural world.
Humans disrupt the ecological balance through a lot of ways.
One of which is through pollution.
Pollution is contamination or addition of impurities to the environment.
Generally it is defined as any process by which humans destroy the quality of their surroundings.
The term could be relative.
For example your teacher might not be accused of polluting his environment when he smokes cigarette in front of his house, but it would be different if he started smoking inside a crowded bus.
Earlier in human history, people leave their wastes wherever they dropped them.
Also they leave their food scraps and bones where they had eaten.
Bacterial action returned the minerals to the soil.
When people began to increase in number and live in communities, waste disposal became a greater problem.
People solved their sewage problems by using the pits.
These are the areas in the critical limits of pollution because of their past history as free dumping grounds.
The place mentioned includes grassland, stream, river, lake and ocean.
This has become the guiding rule since people thought that these dumping grounds including the atmosphere would never be overburdened and would always function as they had done before.
Little did people realize that there are critical limits to pits whether it's grassland, stream, river, pond, lake and gigantic atmosphere.
And also, little did people know that if these limits were exceeded, the natural functions of the pits would be destroyed.
That is why it is very advisable to do cautious steps to keep away from this pollution.
Through our own little ways, we could eradicate the harmful effects of pollution.
There is no other day but today.
Now is the perfect time to start a new way of living.
