How does litter affect people's health?

Answer 1

We do not need to be a scientist to know that something is disastrously wrong with our planet. Our fresh water, our oceans, our forests, and even our air are gravely damaged. The question is: Can our planet survive?

Life on earth would be impossible without water. In fact, the largest component of all living things is water. Lakes, rivers, wetland, and underground aquifers provide drinking water for humans and animals and allow us to irrigate our crops.

Most of our planet is covered in water. However, according to the World Meteorological Organisation, " only 0,5% of water on Earth is usable and available freshwater." Although this relatively small amount of fresh water should be enough for life on earth, much of it is either becoming polluted or becoming inaccessible as a result of increased demand that within 30 years, five billion people could have inadequate access to fresh water.

The good news is: Our planet is designed to survive. The earth has natural processess that prevent our water supply from disappearing. Also, soil, aquatic life, and even sunlight cooperate to purify our water..

Consider some of the evidence that points to our planet as one that is desighed to survive.

• It has been shown that soil can efficiently rid water of many contaminants. In wetlands, certain plants have been known to remove nitrogen, phosphorus, and pesticides..

• Scientists have identified physical and biologigal precesses that purify water contaminated with naturally occurring organic waste. The contaminants are deluted in flowing water and broken down by microorganisms.

• Freshwater clams and mussels can extract some potentially harmful chemicals from water in a matter of days-- and perhaps do so even more effectively than water treatment plants can.

• Our planet keeps water trapped in a constant cycle known as the hydrologic system. This cycle, alone with other natural processess, prevent water from escaping our atmosphere or otherwise disappearing.

The soil has shown its potential to remove metals. toxic chemicals, organic waste, and other contaminants from water that flows down through the ground. By the time the water settles in bedrock aquifers, it can even be safe to drink.

There are a few simple things that we humans can do.

By repairing oil leaks and properly disposing of toxins, we help keep our freshwater sources clean.

According to The Bible in the Book of Ecclesiastes 1: 7 , God created natural cycles to protect earth's waters.

" The Earth is more resilient that we though."

That was the conclusion reached regarding climate change by an international team of researchers. According to the first Book of the Bible, Genesis 1: 1 Our planet was created by God .

Psalm 24: 1 reminds us that planet Earth belongs to Jehovah God .

Psalm 104: 5 reads that " God has established the earth on its foundations; it will not be moved from its place forever and ever".

Isaiah 45: 18 reads. " God, the One who formed the earth,...did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited."

Psalm 37: 29 reads. " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it."

God has desighed the earth with built-in systems that can withstand the impact of sensible human activity. The Bible foretells that Jehovah God will, at his appointed time, put an end to the abuse and exploitation that has damaged our beautiful planet. Read Revelation 11: 18 in the last Book of the Bible.

The Book of Matthew 6: 9,10 speaks about God's kingdom, which is His government, where His will, will take place as in heaven also on earth, that Jesus told us to pray for.

His government or kingdom will undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done.

It will provide: A perfect health for all those who choose to live up to His requirements, peace and security, and a clean environment.

Here are a few scriptures of God's promises: Isaiah 33: 24; 48: 18; 54: 13; Micah 4:4 John 17: 3

Answer 2

Litter pollution affects the Natural Resources because the litter humans throw on the ground or in the water might have toxic chemicals which will make soil, water, and plants intoxicated. Animals and humans are affected by litter pollution because they use soil,water,and

plants to survive and if those resources are toxicated

then animals and humans might not be able to survive without them.

Answer 3

Litter can attract rats which carry diseases that can spread to us.
