Save Environment The environment is where all living organisms including humans, resides. Hence, it is important to take care of the environment. Moreover, the environment provides many resources essential to life. For instance, life on earth would not be possible without oxygen. Plants are the main producers of oxygen. Hence, we need to save trees by preventing deforestation. The natural environment consists of two major components: living and nonliving things. The living components include all life forms on the earth, from microscopic microbes to gargantuan blue whales. Nonliving components of the environment include all the spheres of the earth, physical chemical and other natural forces. Water is another essential resource for life. About 71 percentage of earth's surface is covered with water, however, just 1% of that is usable fresh water. Conservation of water is important as it helps us to reduce the energy required to process and deliver water. The interaction between these components is crucial for life. However, anthropological activities have affected the dynamics, resulting in an imbalance. For instance, the greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that has been around for millions of years. It is also a crucial process necessary for sustaining life on Earth. However, since the Industrial Revolution, the level of air pollution skyrocketed, pumping tremendous amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This magnified the greenhouse effect, eventually leading to global warming. And the consequences have been dire, for instance, the rising sea level is expected to submerge most cities near coast by 2050. Torrential flood and storms will increase in their intensity. Droughts will be more severe and induce constant famine. Hence, anthropological activities must be kept under check because environmental pollution can take a toll on the planets and ourselves.
