What is theme of 2019 world environment Day?

World Environment Day is an annual event celebrated worldwide on 5^th June.

 

The main objective of this day is to spread the mindfulness across the globe for the protection of the environment. We as a whole know the present situation of our planet and even can feel the degrading condition of our planet. To understand the current circumstances, just do the evaluation of the present quality of Air, Water & Food.  You will find the pollution everywhere. Everything is polluted now and there is no other solution except to take step and battle with these ecological issues. 

On this year, the theme of world environment day is Air Pollution. China is going to host this year theme and share the awareness programs about the causes, effects, & solutions to Air Pollution. Breathing air is the necessity of every creature so we can’t stop breathing. The only thing left with us to make the air polluted free.

There are various causes of air pollution primarily divided into two categories i.e. natural causes & man-made causes. We can’t do much for natural causes but precautions are available for man-made causes.  Various man-made causes of air pollution are burning of fossil fuels, emission from industries, burning of crop residue, & so forth.

Air Pollution impacts both people and the earth. It is very dangerous for the planet and responsible for global warming, climate change, greenhouse effect, etc. It also affects human wellbeing and issues like irritation in the eyes, nose, and throat, coughing, sneezing and shortness of breath, asthma, heart disease, allergies, respiratory, cardiovascular diseases, lung damage, etc. occur due to continuous breathing of polluted air.

We have seen the causes & effects of air pollution and one question striking in our mind:

Do we have any solution to the problem of Air Pollution?

So, here is the answer. There are several solutions available to combat air pollution and simplest options are as follows:

• Do the plantation of trees and encourage others as well to do the plantation of trees.
• The government should impose strict government rules & regulations.
• Use renewable sources of energy.
• Promote the use of public transport & energy efficient fuels. Opt for environment-friendly vehicles like a cycle, electric bike & cars.
• Avoid the use of single-use plastics.
• Use energy efficient devices at your home and buy high ratings of electronics devices.

So, let us come together on this environment day and take a step ahead to solve the ecological problems. Our smaller steps will make a huge difference one day.
