Everywhere where you go, you can hear about pollution. It is a phenomenon of our age. Noone know how many polution can survive our earth. Overlimited content of CO2 and other gasses which fill out our atmosfhere and create greenhouse effect are spreading around every day. Do you think that mankind will be so smart to realize that we can not sirvive without sources like clean water, air, rivers, soil...What is your opinion about polution and greenhouse effect? What we should do to protect and prevent our earth?

Hello Ernnesto, Pollution is really a concern for the world at present.As the population is growing up with the fast pace so we need more shelter to live in and due to which we have started destroying forests to make homes causing imbalance of ecosystem.As we all know plants reduce pollution by taking in carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen but still we are destroying trees.The only way to reduce pollution is to plant more trees.Try to minimise use of plastics as we know plastic can't decompose it effects our environment and many more small things which can contribute in reducing pollution.

We are cutting the trees not only for having a material for builing a houses, but also for land. They want to plant a crops. We should think about importance of land for planting. It is not wise to cut rain forests and have a land for planting somewhere else.

Everyone is worried about pollution and there are many world conferences which discuss its consequences on the ecosystem,but very few things are done to diminish its devastating effects.Unfortunately,mankind relies a lot on industry and automobiles which contribute to the increase of the greenhouse effects and make life in big cities a nightmare,and of course it causes a lot of disease and may people die because of pollution.I guess that one day there will be many cars that will use solar energy and things will start to improve,but until then our planet will continue to suffer because many of those involved in business don't really care about the environment,all they really want is to make money regardless of the consequences of their actions.I think one of the most things that could be done to reduce pollution and especially the greenhouse effect is to prevent such people from cutting and destroying forests,because they are the lungs of the Earth.If laws were very strict about this issue,maybe that worrying phenomenon would be diminished and our planet would be in a better condition.

I eat a vegan diet and buy products that are friendly to the environment. My local council gave each household a green box for recycling materials like glass, tin, plastic, paper and card. They gave a brown box for food scraps. They come with the recycling lorry down our road once every two weeks. I like to use paint that is fine for the environment. I used one for my kitchen and it looks lovely. I never litter the ground. I use a bin or take the rubbish home with me to recycle as much of it as possible. It is a shame there is so much pollution in the world. I only fly to long haul places that it wouldn't be possible to take a train to. I use trains and buses. My car takes green minded unleaded petrol and I use my car a limited amount. When I go on a trip I stay at locally owned guest houses and not big international style hotels. I support someone that is doing their bit for the environment like went on a trip to see how they protect the manatees at Swallow Cay in Belize. Once there they use oars and turn the motor off to avoid injuring the manatees.

God created us and create our clean world of earth and sky. This pollution on our land is the reasons of our intervention and use of things by the wrong way. People cut down trees in the woods without finding a replacement, and these forests is that the balance of nature. People throwing waste in the seas and rivers without treatment. We must control our bad habits and behaviors, in order to enjoy clean nature.

Pollutions that we have in our environment that cause too many bad effect in our nature and to ourselves too was the product of our own irresponsible used of our Mother Nature.We better act responsibly to lessen and avoid polluting our nature before its too late.Simple ways could help and cooperation is must for us to achieve our goals of saving our planet.Collective simple help and ways could mean a lot in saving our nature.

This is a nice topic you have started.Spreading awareness is the first step in saving environment.Ecosystem is in havoc these days,trying to use natural resources like wind,sunlight can be helpful.Many species of birds and animals are getting extinct.Hope we get to the solution to stop all the activities that is harming our planet.
