Many factors contribute to the current state of environmental pollution, including:

• Industrial activities: Smoke emissions from factories, untreated industrial waste discharged into the environment.
• Transportation: Exhaust fumes from personal and public transportation.
• Agriculture: The use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, causing soil and water pollution.
• Littering: Littering causes serious environmental pollution.
• Unsustainable resource exploitation: The rampant and uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources.

Consequences of Environmental Pollution

Environmental pollution has serious consequences, including:

• Impact on human health: Respiratory diseases, cancer, infectious diseases…
• Loss of biodiversity: Many animal and plant species are becoming extinct.
• Economic damage: Reduced agricultural productivity, damage to infrastructure.
• Climate change: Greenhouse effect, global warming.

Solutions for Environmental Protection

To protect the environment, we need comprehensive solutions, including:

• Reduce emissions: Use renewable energy, public transportation.
• Waste management: Waste sorting, recycling, industrial waste treatment.
• Forest conservation: Planting trees, protecting protective forests.
• Raising public awareness: Propaganda, education on environmental protection.
• Implementing strict environmental policies: The government needs specific policies to control environmental pollution.

Everyone’s Responsibility

Protecting the environment is not only the responsibility of the government or organizations but also the responsibility of each individual. Everyone needs to change their lifestyle and actions to contribute to protecting the living environment.
