Definitely, human action/activity. We use the car or motorcycles very often, which gives off fumes and emissions that are harmful to the planet and the atmosphere. We consume meat in a non-sustainable way because the livestock tales a Lot of free land (which is not unlimited) and contributes to seven percent of the total greenhouse emissions.

In fact meat consumption is expected you double by 2050.

By the same token, factories and (multinational companies) don't make things easier, since industrial production also contributes to global warming.

Furthermore, the Urban sprawl, which means the continuous expansion of urban areas, also explains why pollutions is reaching alarming rates.

So, now that we have already talked about the causes and consequences, Let Is talk about Solutions. We definitely should start by minimizing our carbon footprint (stop doing things that send fumes and emissions you the atmosphere).

Another viable Solution could be: installing solar panels and other ways of renewable energies.

On the other hand, recycling is a must and we should encourage everyone it do so.

Finally cutting down on meat consumption and switching to a plant-based diet would also be a step in the right direction.
