Plastic pollution is one of our biggest problems.

Where does it come from?

leylakudari — 2018-11-29 12:03:46 UTC

Factories, Cars

Factories release large amount chemicals such as carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon,organic compounds and other chemicals and gases. Those chemicals increase man made greenhouse effect which leads to global warming.

mining operations

In the process of mining a lot of dust and chemicals are released into the air, the health of the workers deteriorates.

indoor air pollution

Household cleaning products, paint and other toxic indoor items. Create air that is very harm full to the lungs.

water pollution

Water pollution is caused when harmful substances make the water toxic for both humans and the environment. Water is able to mix substances easily that's why water is easily polluted

It is bad for our lungs especially people with lung diseases, such as, asthma. The pollution also causes holes in the atmosphere that emit more ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet radiation causes sunburn and skin cancer.
Air pollution leads to water pollution because the dust and dirt in the air passes into the water. Then our drinking water will be dirty and the water that the fishes we eat, live in will be dirty. It would be very likely that we would not be able to eat fish any more because they would either extinct, the taste would be disgusting and they would be very unhealthy for us, because they would be so polluted.

By walking, using public transport and bicycles instead of private cars.
By using an electric devices instead of burning coal and oil, where electricity can be generated with water or in another nature-friendly way

Greenhouse gases

leylakudari — 2018-12-09 22:48:37 UTC

The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2), water vapour (H2O) or H2Og),methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).
Because of them the heat that we get from the sun doesn´t completely go back to space but stays in the atmosphere. Those gases hold the heat inside the atmosphere but some of it still goes back to space, otherwise we would overheat That is exactly what is happening in the modern world. We produce many of those greenhouse gases and release them into the atmosphere so the greenhouse effect increases. The heat from the sun comes into the atmosphere but most of it stays inside instead of going back to space. Which means that the more gases we release the stronger gets the greenhouse effect. That means that the average temperature on Earth is rising.
Greenhouse effect is natural and without it the Earth would not support life.

Carbon dioxide (CO2

leylakudari — 2018-12-09 23:12:50 UTC

Is the largest supporter to climate change because it´s common. Carbon dioxide is released when burning fossil fuels, coal, oil and other carbon rich fuels.

Methane

leylakudari — 2018-12-09 23:16:56 UTC

Is major greenhouse gas because each methane molecule has 25 times GWP (Global Warming Potential) of a carbon dioxide molecule.

Nitrous oxide

leylakudari — 2018-12-09 23:27:22 UTC

Nitrous oxide is for example released from bacteria in soil. Single nitrous oxide molecule has 298 times GWP of Carbon dioxide.

Global Warming Potential

leylakudari — 2018-12-09 23:31:09 UTC

Each greenhouse gas has been measured or calculated for how long it stays in the atmosphere and how strongly it consumes energy. Gases with higher GWP absorb more energy than gases with low GWP which means that the gases with high GWP promote more to heat Earth.

Fast Fashion Is Creating an Environmental Crisis. In Iceland and other western countries there is a high consumption of clothing and a lot of durable clothing. Each Icelander purchases more than 17 kg of textile products annually. Which is approximately three times the average population on earth.. Every year, about 150 billion garments are manufactured, which corresponds to 20 garments per human in the world annually.
