5. Air pollution is the most dangerous form of
pollution.
Air pollution is the mixture of solid particles
and gases in the air.
Car emissions , chemical from factories , dust
etc . are the main particles that are
suspended in the air and cause pollution.
These suspended particles are called
pollutants.
Even smoke from burning leaves and
cigarettes are harmful to the environment.

7. Global warming is the increase in earth’s
average temperature due to increased
trapping of infrared radiations by green
house gases.
It is a result of increased pollutions and other
phenomenon that increases the amount of
green house gases in the atmosphere.
As a result the glaciers are melting and the
sea level is accelerating , large wildfires are
growing and severe droughts are occurring.

9. Water pollution is caused due to industrial
waste released into lakes , ponds and other
water bodies.
Humans pollute water with large scale
disposal of garbage , flowers , ashes and
other household waste.
Acid rain further adds to the water pollution.
Water pollution can result in depletion of
dissolved oxygen in water bodies.
Water pollution can also occur as a result of
soil pollution.

11. Acid rain is a rain that is unusually acidic
that can have harmful effects on plants ,
animals and infrastructure.
Acid rain is a result of air pollution.
When any type of fuel is burnt, lots of
different chemicals are produced. Some of
these gases (especially nitrogen oxides and
sulphur dioxide) react with the tiny droplets
of water in clouds to form sulphuric and
nitric acids. The rain from these clouds then
falls as very weak acid - which is why it is
known as "acid rain".

13. Soil pollution is a result of acid rain , polluted
water , fertilizers , disposal of waste , mining
activities etc..
Soil contamination occurs when chemicals are
released to the soil in the form of fertilizers ,
pesticides ,etc..
Soil pollution can effect the growth of crops
and plants in the soil.
The toxic chemicals present in the soil can
decrease the soil fertility.

15. Its time to join hands across the globe to
protect preserve and save the mother earth
environment and we grow more and more
trees our surrounding area.
Carbon footprint is the total amount of green
house gases produced by an organization or
a person , in other words reduce pollution ,
usage of vehicles , factories ,etc..

16. PLANT TREES !!! AND STOP DEFORESTATION!!!
, it is the biggest solution for all the
environmental issues.
Try combining driving with alternative modes
of transportation.
Understand the concept of ‘Reduce , Reuse
and Recycle’.
Use energy efficient devices.

17. Reduce the use of chemicals like fertilizers ,
pesticides in agricultural activities.
Avoid using non biodegradable products for
example plastic.
Finally CONSERVE ENERGY !!! CONSERVE
WATER !! RECYCLE THE WASTE AND USE
RENEWABLE RESOURCES
17Made by Meet
18. Reduce:- Use less resource means to
use less water, use less plastic or paper etc..
Ways to Reduce:-
Use the front and back of your paper
Choose products that are returnable,
reusable, or refillable over single-use items.
Bring reusable bags and containers when
shopping, traveling, or packing lunches

can find new ways to reuse it.
When you reuse it saves Energy, time and
fuel.
Build a Compost Bin You
can reuse many waste items, such as
eggshells and old tea bags, using a compost
bin.

20. Recycle:- collecting resource, processing it
into new products.
Ways to Recycle :-

Purchase rewritable CDs and DVDs so that
you can reuse them from project to project.
Buy rechargeable batteries.
