Taking too many resources from the Earth through activities like deforestation and overfishing can lead to environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity. Similarly, putting too much waste and pollutants back into the Earth through activities like landfills and improper disposal can harm ecosystems and human health. Balancing resource extraction and waste management is crucial for the sustainability of the planet.

Do water purifiers really work?

Yes, water purifiers are designed to remove contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and other impurities from water, making it safe to drink. However, the effectiveness of a water purifier depends on its technology and how well it's maintained. It's important to choose a reputable water purifier and follow the manufacturer's instructions for optimal performance.


How do you remove chlorine from city water?

Use the pool. Throw the kids and the dog into the pool, that'll use up plenty of chlorine. If the chlorine level is too high (over 10ppm or so) there is a chemical you can buy at yoiur local pool store to reduce it (I forget the name of it) but if you can, just wait, use the pool as much as you can, let the sun and natural process work and the level will come down. Here are couple practical solutions: 1. Wait for a couple of days and let the chlorine level return to normal on its own. Be sure to take your solar blanket off as sunlight will help break down the chlorine (especially if you used non-stabilized shock). 2. Use a chlorine reducing agent. They are usually called "After Shock" or something similar. These chemicals are available at your local pool supply store and are usually based on some formulation of sodium thiosulfate. The use of Sodium Thiosulphate can turn your pool water a pale green for a long time after adding it. A very small amount goes a long way. Better not to use and do the wait game. The green tint is not algae.


What soil filters polluted water the best?

The most complete method of treating petrochemically polluted waste water is through a series of three stages involving physicochemical and biological processes. It is the third and final stage of the treatment that renders the water clean enough to be discharged into the sea. The process is complex, requiring a combination of bioreactor, chemical coagulation, granulated activated carbon or sorption technologies.
