The environment is the foundation of our lives and indispensable for life. However, various pollutants constantly imposes harmful effects on it. Excessive population growth, unplanned urbanization, and deforestation are the main factors damaging the environment. Global environmental degradation is now a serious problem. Every year, World Environment Day is celebrated under the initiative of the United Nations, where the need for environmental conservation is highlighted.
Unplanned urbanization and industrialization have adverse effects on the environment. Toxic emissions from vehicles and chemical waste cause the atmosphere to deteriorate day by day. Ozone depletion and acid rain are making the environment more critical.
Experts believe that sustainable practices and eco-friendly technologies must be adopted for sustainable development. Global collaboration and proper implementation of plans are extremely necessary to overcome this crisis.
