We need to take care of Mother Nature,Our responsibility is to save our environment

Mother Earth or Mother Nature, whatever you want to call it, is our home and the place where we live today. All the things you see such as the trees, water, and grounds where you are walking is part of our earth.

Our dear Mother Nature the Creator through whom we get food to eat, water to drink and wash our body, clothes to wear and keep our body warm, and a place to rest our weary soul.

What have you done in return for all the good things Mother Nature has blessed us with? Well, for most of us, we have done absolutely nothing.

Water pollution is becoming a huge problem which is faced by all of the human existence and as well as by every wild life species. According to present scales for pollution of water, 10 to 15 billion pounds full of waste materials like garbage is threw in different seas and rivers of the entire world. Not only this, now, as per the latest records for water pollution in India; 20 billion gallons of drinking water pollution also dumped in running rivers and seas.

This serious problem of water pollution is not only serious for the present day but, it is also getting worst on a regular day by day basis. As the seas and rivers have a running current of movement; thus, pollution of water does get transported in to various cities and towns on an immense scale.

With 1.2 billion people lacking clean water, waterborne infections account for 80 percent of all infectious diseases. Increased water pollution creates breeding grounds for malaria-carrying mosquitoes, killing 1.2 million to 2.7 million people a year. Unsanitary living conditions account for more than 5 million deaths each year, of which more than half are children.

Types of Water Pollution

Toxic Substance -- A toxic substance is a chemical pollutant that is not a naturally occurring substance in aquatic ecosystems. The greatest contributors to toxic pollution are herbicides, pesticides and industrial compounds.

Organic Substance -- Organic pollution occurs when an excess of organic matter, such as manure or sewage, enters the water. When organic matter increases in a pond, the number of decomposers will increase. These decomposers grow rapidly and use a great deal of oxygen during their growth. This leads to a depletion of oxygen as the decomposition process occurs. A lack of oxygen can kill aquatic organisms. As the aquatic organisms die, they are broken down by decomposers which leads to further depletion of the oxygen levels.
A type of organic pollution can occur when inorganic pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphates accumulate in aquatic ecosystems. High levels of these nutrients cause an overgrowth of plants and algae. As the plants and algae die, they become organic material in the water. The enormous decay of this plant matter, in turn, lowers the oxygen level. The process of rapid plant growth followed by increased activity by decomposers and a depletion of the oxygen level is called eutrophication.

Thermal Pollution -- Thermal pollution can occur when water is used as a coolant near a power or industrial plant and then is returned to the aquatic environment at a higher temperature than it was originally. Thermal pollution can lead to a decrease in the dissolved oxygen level in the water while also increasing the biological demand of aquatic organisms for oxygen.

Ecological Pollution -- Ecological pollution takes place when chemical pollution, organic pollution or thermal pollution are caused by nature rather than by human activity. An example of ecological pollution would be an increased rate of siltation of a waterway after a landslide which would increase the amount of sediments in runoff water. Another example would be when a large animal, such as a deer, drowns in a flood and a large amount of organic material is added to the water as a result. Major geological events such as a volcano eruption might also be sources of ecological pollution.

Recycling Etiquette

Recycling can sometimes be confusing and it can be difficult to know whether you are following all the right rules. Improve your recycling efforts by learning some recycling etiquette rules and check out which type of collection is best and why different areas recycle and collect in different ways.

What’s in your Rubbish Bin?

A large percentage of UK household’s still do not recycle enough and throw everything that they consider ‘rubbish’ into their ordinary bin.
Much of this waste can be recycled and should be disposed of separately to general household waste. Look inside this rubbish bin to see how much of the contents should actually have been recycled. Check our list on the right to see how to recycle different materials.

Mother Earth or Mother Nature

Mother Earth or Mother Nature, whatever you want to call it, is our home and the place where we live today. All the things you see such as the trees, water, and grounds where you are walking is part of our earth. What does a mother actually mean or what does a mother actually do? What did your mum do for you? Isn’t your mum the one who cared and nurtured you as you were grew, fed and kept you safe? For all the good things that your mother did for you, what have you done in return? Of course, I am sure you have most likely done all you can to reciprocate her love and care that she gave you all those years.

Now, how about our dear Mother Nature the Creator used to bless us and make the world inhabitable for us? Through whom we get food to eat, water to drink and wash our body, clothes to wear and keep our body warm, and a place to rest our weary soul. What have you done in return for all the good things Mother Nature has blessed us with? Well, for most of us, we have done absolutely nothing. We keep taking and that is why sometimes one part of the world feels some kind of pain, like the one Haiti is currently passing through.

Save Your Mother Nature

Have you not felt it or seen the wrath of Mother Nature through the number of freak storms occurring, the weather changes, how the heat of the sun can burn your skin, and why the air we breathe is no longer acceptable to human health. All these are signs of what our future and the future of our kids will be, if we continue to ignore the pleas of Mother Earth as she cries for help.

We can all do something, no matter how small your act can be. In fact, all good things start small and your small action may not be appreciated now, but be rest assured that it will certainly make a difference and just like the fact that it will make a difference to our environment, if you only use things or products that will not harm them. The choice is yours but it is expedient that we care for the earth we live in.

Nature in to focus...
