Our Survival – The Urgent Need for Water Pollution Solutions
Apr 28th, 2009 | By cei123 | Category: Environmental Sustainability 
A growing demand for water pollution solutions as the threat to the survival of not only this generation but future generations as we know it increases; due to increasing toxic waste in water and the pollution levels in our environment.
As a result, a growing awareness to step up and take greater care of our resources now is emerging. The failure to do so will have a devastating effect on our future generations, or worse their ability to survive.
How to Stop Water Pollution
It’s no secret that water is one of our most valuable resources, in the absence of this or the air, we couldn’t survive.
Toxins such as industrial waste and raw sewage and run-off pollution continue to cause enormous damage all waterways.
The Clean Water Act of 1972, helped clean up by improving water that would have been otherwise unfit for human consumption.
Although partly successful in helping solve the problem, unfortunately a great deal damage to the all rivers still result in loss of wildlife impaired functioning of ecosystems, and increasingly perilous human health threats.
Fresh water pollution in the case of river pollution, especially the run-off, which is generated by all of us and the solution to improving this, requires the help of all citizens.
It is not productive to always rely on our federal, state, provincial or local governments to effectively police all of our water resources.
They just can not possibly free enough resources to monitor the multitudes of rivers, lakes, or ponds.
It is each of our civic duties to report activities of others who are polluting our water resources.
Solutions to Water Pollution and Air Quality
Daily air pollution is in our face and surrounds us as we breathe it in everyday.
The main cause of air pollution is by the burning of fossil fuels in our cars, industries and the emissions of toxic chemicals in manufacturing processes, these account for most of the pollution released into our air, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, ash, benzene, smoke, and soot, just to name a few.
Some of the more visible poisons accumulating in our atmosphere may present in the form of Smog or acid rain.
There is hope, with proper monitoring and regulation, that we may limit the pollutants and their effects to our air.
The 1980’s the elimination of the use of leaded gasoline lowered the lead emissions in our air by 90%.
The use of filters in industry to aid in cleaning the air, and as result eliminated dark clouds of smoke and smog.
It can not be stressed enough the importance of each of us becoming the eyes and ears for our government officials.
Uncontrolled and unsustainable development continues to threaten biodiversity.
Natural landscape has been crucially altered by the effects of modern urbanization, agricultural pesticides, timber production and hazardous wastes dumped onto the land being pumped into the ground.
Without the cognitive practice of responsible urban planning and development or the designations of critical habitats or the preservation of endangered species and alleviation of agricultural and industrial actives that poison and erode the soil; the widespread habitat loss and species extinction will continue.
Should you be aware of or find suspicious activity of someone or a plant of polluting the water or air, report this to officials.
Bear in mind, it’s our future generations that count on, and their hope for health depend on our actions today, in order to sustain potable drinking water and clean fresh air to breathe.
