Environmental problems c
serious detriments to the
world
as a whole. While some individuals opine that the major
menace
affecting the ecology is the
extinction
of plants and animals, other people believe that there is a highly important environmental problem
such
as the
pollution
of the
ecosystem
. In my opinion, I strongly support the latter notion which states that there is a more imperative environmental
menace
that needs to be curbed with immediate effect.
Several people opine that the loss of specific types or species of plants and animals is the main issue facing the environment because life itself is based mainly on plants and animals. Unarguably, without plants, there would be no life on earth no matter the circumstance. Plants play a very crucial role in the
ecosystem
due to the fact that they absorb carbon dioxide that animals release into the air and give out oxygen to be reused by animals.
Also
, an extremely interesting fact is that various plants have the strong possibility to absorb t
oxicants
from the environment, and
as a result
, protecting the
ecosystem
.
In addition
, both plants and animals help stabilize the food chain in other to attain optimum environmental development.
Therefore
, without these highly essential plants and animals, there is an environmental challenge
such
as death, drought, and starvation.
On the other hand
, I, among other people is of the opinion that there is a more cogent serious
menace
affecting the
world
which is
pollution
.
Pollution
is mainly divided into t
air, water and land
pollution
. Air
pollution
is caused mainly by d
such
as carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide, and hydro fluorocarbons being released into the atmosphere by vehicles, production companies and refineries. Land
pollution
is caused by deforestation, testing of nuclear weapons, and o
ver grazing graze to an unsustainable extent, so the grassland cannot naturally recover
to mention a few.
Lastly
, water
pollution
can be caused by dumping of refuse into water bodies and oil exploration. All three forms of
pollution
lead to depletion of the ozone layer, respiration diseases in humans, global warming, radiation, earthquakes, landslides, erosion, drought, famine, health related conditions, and
also
the
extinction
of both plants and animals. Currently, global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer which
further
leads to radiation is an impending issue in the
world
causing several other problems. As
such
,
pollution
is the most imperative
menace
affecting the entire
ecosystem
.
To sum up, in
this
twenty-
first
century,
extinction
of plants and animals should be put into prompt consideration, but there is a more grievous issue affecting g the environment in all countries of the
world
.
This
menace
tends to be
p
and keen interest must be placed upon
this
problem before it leads to
extinction
of all forms of life on earth.
