Pollution

They provide water sources to animals. Creatures such as fish and birds need these areas to survive. Humans also use these areas for activities such as camping, wildlife observation, fishing and hunting. They also prevent flooding by holding water. Wetlands are also filter lands that collect and filter water contaminants. Natures own water filtration areas.

Being harmful to the environment means not treating it as nature intended. Such as landfills, factories and even so simple such as not throwing garbage in trash cans. Any action that is contrary to how nature intended is being harmful to the environment.

Good question. One of the quickest ways you can cut back on air pollution is
to drive your car less, or ask your parents to drive less and use less
polluting alternatives like busing, walking, or bicycling whenever possible.
The less we pollute, the easier it is for Earth's natural systems to clear the
air and water. Of course there are as many solutions to pollution problems as
there are sources of pollution. One very common solution is to put some kind
of filter at the source - like "smoke-stack scrubbers" at electric power
plants, or catalytic converters on your car. One of the greatest air-
pollution success stories is the ban on lead in gasoline. By taking lead out
of gasoline, less lead is spewed into the air, and average levels of lead in
children's blood have been steadily falling since the ban went into effect.

You can learn more about pollution by writing for a booklet called "What You
Can do to Reduce Air Pollution" (order number 144A) send $1.25 to R. Woods,
Consumer information Center - 4A, PO Box 100, Pueblo, CO 81002. Another good
book to look for in your bookstore or library is "50 Simple Things You Can do
to Save The Earth", by the Earth Works Group and published in 1989.

I think it will take maybe 2-3 months

For centuries, ocean waters have been treated as sewage dumps. For example, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, which is in one of the most urbanized, as well as, one of the most wealthiest nations in the world, sixteen million litres of raw sewage is dumped into the Halifax Harbour. In places such as Calcutta, India, as much as 400 million tonnes of raw sewage and other municipal wastes are being dumped into coastal waters annually. Polluting the ocean is a horrible act and the results can be devastating to all living things. Over 80% of Ocean pollution comes from land-based activities. Ocean pollution is not easy to control, but there are several measures that can be taken to alleviate the problem. The causes of ocean pollution are devastating, for ourselves and for all marine life, and one should learn and understand how it can be stopped.

Every day, people dump tonnes of garbage, human waste and household chemicals into the ocean. People pour oil and other types of chemicals down our drain daily, not thinking of the damage it may cause. The following are the most common and most harmful ways to pollute the ocean: toxic wastes, garbage dumping, vehicle pollution, boating pollution, oils, beachside pollution, wastewater and farming and agriculture. Toxic waste and chemicals are the number one cause of death among underwater sea creatures. In some countries, people dump garbage and human waste into the ocean, thinking it is a solution for conserving land, however, matters are only made worse as the ocean is now polluted. Vehicles are also a significant source of ocean pollution. Vehicle pollution (gas) gets mixed with regular rain, which causes acid rain. Once the acid rain reaches the ocean, it is classified as ocean pollution. When you ride in a boat, the pollution that comes from the engine pollutes the water with chemicals. Chemicals from farming and agriculture are also a big concern. Chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers, which are used to kill insects and animals, are also polluting the ocean. When it rains, these substances also get washed away into our ocean, killing ocean plants and animals

It is not possible for one person to solve all the world's water pollution problems. However, one person working in his or her hometown can accomplish a lot.

Industries use a scrubber,is a device that is used to remove some pollutants. Industries also use clean-coal,is when the plant turns coal into a gas before it is burned,so fewer pollutants are released.

The clean air act, and stop small factories

Before 1989 Eastern European had few laws to control pollution. Factories contributed to air and water pollution, as a result of the gases and smoke they give off and their unregulated dumping. Both of these contribute to acid rain.

E2020 HomeWork. Answer.

some state in the us. maybe, Washington or California. The us produces 12 times more paper waste than Canada or any other countries.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It traps heat from the sun and prevents it escaping from the atmosphere. It makes the Earth a warmer place

not too bad

as in the fish and stuff you know

one of the reasons are because of the fishes gill because when they dirty water touches the fish it harms it because the fish need clean water or they could die because they clean water and oxygen go into the gill so if dirty water and ozygen go in its going threw the whole body so that wouldn't be good

We will die from the pollution in our lungs.

If you throw plastics away in animals environments then a animal is likely to eat it and if it does the plastic won't digest because plastic never digest so the animal will die.

A.you can be charged with a first-degree misdemeanor and fined up to $1,000 if dumping more than 15 pounds of trash.

A.people who throw trash on public streets and highways can be fined up to$500 or jailed up to 60 days.

Recycle, use bio-degradable things, no aerosol stuff, and THROW AWAY YOU'R GARBAGE.

It all started 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana. (the middle of the Gulf of Mexico) and is now has already getting close to hitting the coasts of Florida. and if nothing gets accomplished then it can spread throughout the world.

They help scientist what extremes life can live in. For example they've found microorganisims in a crystal cave where the average tempature is 60' Celcius. They've also found microorganisims on Mars frozen in the ice.

Well,

it is effecting sea creatures becasue once tiny creature can eat something toxic, and another animal eats it, it will carry the toxin on. This is called biomagnification. This is when a toxin of anysort, is carried on throught the food chain.

Anyways, it is kepping animals from eating, and they are dying. it is effecting land animals too, because some land animals eat sea creatures. So they die.

It is also harming us, because it is limiting our clean drinking water, causeing us to use more electricity to clean it.

If we all just stop polluting in the water, and treat it properly, we can all take a HUGE benifit from it. :)

because of chlorofluorocarbons
