Beyond the Tipping Point: The Urgent need to address Environmental Degradation

Environmental degradation: 

Any alteration to the surroundings' herbal functions introduced via physical, chemical, or organic elements that affects the extinction of living things is known as environmental degradation.

Environmental decline factors include:

1. Deforestation: Deforestation is the process of clearing a forest of its necessary plants. The use of wood and other plant materials to assemble new houses, make furnishings, equipment, and other product initiatives for the sector's step-by-step growing populace is one of the factors contributing to deforestation. Excess builds up in the atmosphere as a consequence of deforestation. The greenhouse effect's impacts are consequently getting worse. As a consequence, there are frequent natural disasters like sudden shifts in the weather,

2. Vehicles: The pollution of the ecosystem as a whole is caused by the smoke, liquid, residue, sediment, etc. released by moving vehicles. They damage the ecosystem quickly.

3. Factories: As by-products from the factories, various compounds, acids, sewage water, dyes, Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, Chlorine, Florin, Sulfur dioxide, etc. are produced. These chemicals harm the ecosystem by polluting the water, soil, and air.

4. Fuels: Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, diesel, and other sorts creates a surplus of CO2 to build up inside the environment, developing the greenhouse effect. Gases like sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide, among others, are created when sulfur is burned. As these toxic gases blend together in the air, the ecosystem begins to deteriorate.

5. Wildfires: When wildfires erupt, the ash left over from burning forests is combined with the breeze and transported great distances. Later, these remains to pollute the air, soil, and water. Degradation of the ecosystem is the outcome. In addition, volcano explosions reduce land fertility, and various toxic nitrogenous chemicals that harm the ecosystem are created when oxygen reacts with atmospheric nitrogen.

Apart from these, the ecosystem is harmed in the following ways, both directly and tangentially.

1. Overcrowding.

2. Unplanned municipal and industrial growth.

3. The use of polyethylene and plastic containers.

4. The indiscriminate use of herbicides and artificial fertilizers.

5. Lack of general awareness of the need to safeguard the environment.

6. Lack of general awareness of the need to preserve the ecosystem.

7. Research on atoms and radioactivity.

8. Be arbitrary.
