How can we do to get rid of pollution in the world?
Answer:
There are many sources of pollution.
One of the worst sources of pollution is the burning of coal to generate electricity.
Coal is contaminated with radioactive Uranium and Thorium. Particles of Uranium attach themselves to flyash that goes up the smokestack.
The coal ash also contains large amountos of Uranium and Thorium. The ash is often left in large piles on the ground. The contaminated ash blows and contaminates the surrounding area.
Also the radioactive Uranium breaks down and forms Radon gas which diffuses out into the atmosphere polluting it.
I recommend that you contact your senators and congresspersons and ask that they support a bon on the burning of coal because of the pollution problems.
The fact that there are so many people on this Earth creating pollution every day has led to a big problem, polluting our air, soil, and water. Getting rid of pollution worldwide is everyone's responsibility, so everyone must get involved to make a difference. Environmentalists and environmental engineers can lead the way by developing new technologies for controlling pollution and cleaning up our environment. Research on how to make our environment self-sustaining is one example...like using natural bacteria present in soil and water to "eat" toxic spills. It is important that everyone play a role though, even down to simple everyday things like recycling. Best wishes!
Use biodegradable products.
Not burning fossils fuels.
Invest in renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
Vehicles that run on electric battery power should be promoted.
Eliminated unnecessary packaging.
Recycle reuse.
Stop people from smoking.
Education and understanding.
YOU NEED TO STOP POLLUTING! YOU NEED TO QUIT DRIVING! YOU NEED TO SWELTER IN NO AIR CONDITIONING! YOU NEED TO SEND ALL YOUR BELONGINGS TO THE UNITED NATIONS TASK FORCE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE!STOP USING TOILET PAPER!! STOP BATHING! STOP EATING MEAT! get back to me when you have begun this new regiment.
Think globally but act locally. Why not start in your own backyard? Conserve water and energy. Keep your home and surroundings clean yet practice waste segregation. Keep those volumes low because noise pollution is the least given attention of all. Thanks!
we cant. its impossible. if there were no people, methane poisioning. if there were no animals, all the trees would die and there would be nothing at all.
we should find a good site like the south pole and barge it all there and nuke it. then it would all be gone. that is how i woould take out the trash once and for all, dude.
Well, I am a nature girl, so that's easy for ME 2 answer
I'm not so sure if we can actually get RID of the pollution that we've already made, but i am 100% sure that we can reduce or even STOP it, and here's how:
don't litter
pick up other's litter
carpool
don't drive if it's not too long to walk or bike such as 5 min. that's not too long to walk or bike and you get exersize
turn off appliances when not being used such as lights, tvs, computers ect.
PERMACULTURE ANSWER
Water ,Air and Soil
WATER POLUTION
FIRSTHAND CONTAMINATION
Rivers and Lagoons
millions of batteries are thrown in the rivers and Lagoons by night fishermen
1 small penlight battery contaminate 10.000 litres of water
raw sewage added to water flows like cannals and rivers ,
trash dumped on rivers edges ,
Industry contaminates practically unchecked
farmers using agro chemicals (fertilizers ,herbicides & pesticides)then deforrest and the rains washing the topsoils impregnated with contaminants into the rivers
thousands of women that do the washing in rivers using harmfull detergents.
farmers dump acidic coffee husk into the waters which kills millions of fish ,
on the coasts
oil spills that contaminate coastal waters,
Oceans
industrial wastes that are dumped into deep oceanic trenches
SECONDARY POLUTION
changes in water temperature enhances harmfull algae,(remember the red tide)
and kills many fish who are critical to temperature ,when sea water enters lagoons here in Mexico many fish die ,due to sudden temperature changes
also warm water releases carbon gasses
cold water absorbs them
SOLUTIONS
wetlands like swamps have always been Natures natural filters for natural water flows,aquatic plants clean the water ,the anchored plants as well as the floating ones
we should redesign wetland flora with in natural water systems to help contra contamination.
stop sewage systems that connect to natural water flows ,forbid and police the dumping of rubbish on waters edges ,
the best way is through the educational systems ,starting at kiddy schools and rising in intensity with progression.
but in Mexico this is not accepted because this kind of education is not in the ciriculum.
In short the ways to protect the waters is
laws and punishment ,government vigilence ,education ,
alternative farming methods away from using chemicals ,which eventually end up in the ground water supplies
to merely clean polution or try to clean is never effective because of population growth ,it gets worse by the year ,an impossible task
we must attack at the roots and that is the contaminating mentality
SOIL POLUTION
MONO CULTURE PLANTING EXHAUSTS AND CONTAMINATE THE SOIL
all plants and trees require certain chemicals and secrete others .
if there are too many of one specie ,the requirements are too much of the same and the soil gets exausted.
also if there is too much of the same chemical output the soil gets poluted,
and so bio diverse systems are always the healthiest
So agriculture polutes the soil apart from that this kind of farming uses pesticides ,herbicides and fertilizers,
because to much of one specie also attracts to much of one specie of preditors and disease,and is combatted with chemicals and too much of the same chemicals are demanded by the soil
on top of this heavy machinery is used which compacts the soil raising the salt content to the surface ,
the plough opens the top soil and this dries out .leaving it vulnarable to wind and water erosion (the dust is easily blown or washed away) and all micro organisms needed to build the soil are killed
so the destruction of lands is not only polution
other poluting factors are contaminated rain .and contaminated ground waters because of landfills
and contaminated beaches because of oilspills and sewage outlets,
And in the cities people continue to mix organic wastes with their trash ,this is responsible for 70% of soil contamination
SOLUTIONS
the worst you can do is throw it with the trash
70% of contamination is due to organic waste that is mixed in with the garbage .
and it is just as bad in the sewer where it helps to breed rats and in the landfill it poisons the ground
and it is the easiest to take care of
o first of all we have to clasify trash at least keep the organic to one side ,like in a plasic bin with a lid
if you got a few meters of ground ,you only need 1 or 2 square meters in a shallow hole ,in the shade ,that you can wet now and again ,where you dump everything that is organic ,from toilet paper,bones vegetable cuttings ,eggshells,,dead bodies ,excrement ,and cover regularly with leaves to keep humid and to hide any smell
the worms will come and decompose the wastes truning it into beautifull blck soil for the garden of flower pots .
if you are in a apartment ,if you have a balcony get a big plastic bin drill some holes in the side and lid ,
and add a few buckets of sand now and again to put over the trash ,you should realt stir or move the stuff at times to airate it and ensure that the decomposition is overall ,keep moist
this rubbish does not get big very fast and the thing works for a long time with out getting full
got a compost heap in the garden for 6 years ,have added tons of banana poles ,and palm leaves at times tree trunks ,the mountain goes up and down and never seems to get any bigger ,the stuff rots and becomes a very fine black compost of high density
We need more vigelance and control and laws for municipalities ,industry and agriculture plus education for farmers,on sustainable farming
and educating the public in not mixing organic wastes with their trash
AIR POLUTION
the smoke from industrial chimneys,the smoke from any fire
the escaping gasses from spraycans ,the fumes from all internal combustion engines in the world ,all contribute to air polution
.we live in a closed system,polution that is produced in one place can end up on the other side of the world.
there are aircurrants continuesly moving all around the globe, and 5 miles up in the air is a layer which can hold things as big as frogs ,that have been picked up by super evaporation ,that can come down somewhere else.
On the North pole contamination has been found in the ice ,that could have come from Newyork,
if people burn plastics or tires the contaminated smoke will go up and join aircurrants that take it someplace else.
Don't pollute and add to the pollution in the world. Eating low on the food chain (veganism), eat more foods raw, become a good cook so you don't feel obligated to eat out, and other food related items. Mow your lawn with a manual mower, water only when absolutely necessary and in the early morning, do not fertilize or spray weeds, there are so many other ways that other have mentioned.
