Any 4 environmental problems faced by us and 4 ways to save the earth from such problems?

Answer 1

PROBLEMS:

1) Increase in air pollution due to the burning of unclean energy sources

2) Running out of Crude oil for fuel and plastic

3) The lack of food, clothing and building materials worldwide

4) The lack of goods for 3rd world countries to export to build economy

SOLUTIONS:

1) If we used hemp to produce the heat required in energy production instead of coal/oil there will be no more toxic gases given off then the plant takes in during its growth.

2) Whereas crude oil is of limited supplies and is (as we know) incredibly unclean to burn and transport, hemp would supply unlimited amounts of fuel and plastic. Did you know that Henry Ford made his first car out of hemp-based plastics and to run on hemp based petrol? These hemp based plastics will not tarnish the Earth and hemp based petrol will not disproportionately pollute the atmosphere.

3) Hemp can easily be made into textiles that can form soft clothing and strong durable materials such as rope. Hemp can also be made into any building material, including fibreboard, roofing, flooring, wallboard, caulking, cement, paint, panelling, particleboard, plaster, plywood, reinforced concrete, insulation, insulation panels, spray-on insulation, concrete pipes, bricks, and biodegradable plastic composites which are tougher than steel. This could therefore provide millions with clothing and shelter. Hemp seeds are also safely edible- and although you cannot survive on hemp seeds alone they can be added to many easily grown dishes to provide excellent nourishment.

4) As hemp can be grown all over the world it will not need to be imported into these 3rd world countries at a cost and it can be exported from them, providing funds to the people.

There is a lot of negative Propaganda surrounding hemp because of its more questionable links with mind-altering substances; however it is important to note that hemp has just about as much use as a narcotic as an oak leaf does.
