Today we face several types of environmental issues which surprisingly did not get much attention few decades back. The reason probably was that earth didn’t have too much human population and people managed to stay away from pollution whenever they faced trouble with their habitat. But today, the price of land and home is on the constant increase in almost all parts of the world and for the newer generation, owning a home is almost impossible.
More and more people are getting affected by different types of environmental issues and this is why people started to realize and bring awareness about these problems. Pollution, habitat destruction and overpopulation are some examples for the recent issues our generation faces. The biggest challenge for environmental issues is that humans no longer get places that are ideal for a living and they are forced to compromise on whatever they get.
Japan has one of the highest population densities in the world and the country does not have sufficient land space to utilize. Japanese have been living very close to the ocean for several centuries, but today the population of people who live very close to oceans is steadily on the rise. What is the consequence? When tsunami hit Japan, several thousands of people died even after the Japanese authorities could identify the arrival of the tsunami much earlier.
The problem was that government could not quickly evacuate such a huge population and when the evacuation process was going on, tsunami hit the Japanese soil and took away the lives of several thousands. Most environmental issues are created by humans and for the same reason; it’s possible for us to do something to protect our mother nature. Switching yourself to a green living is the best thing you can do because by using green products, you can bring down pollution drastically.
Make sure that you are not using any products made up of wood because plants are essential for producing sufficient oxygen and keeping our ecosystem cool. You can also spread the word about protecting the land and this will attract the attention of many people. If everybody in our country tries their level best to bring down the damage caused to the earth, it’s very much possible for us to make sure that our coming generations will have a better life. This is why we need to take environmental issues very seriously and do something about it.
