ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS
Environmental crises are characterized by an accelerated loss of
biodiversity as a consequence of the mass extinction of species, a
widespread destruction of habitats, and a negative impact on the conditions
for the regeneration of natural resources. That is why, in order to avoid
environmental crises, the world's governments must encourage sustainable
development policies. We suffer today on a global scale can be recognized
in the extinction of thousands of species each year, the depletion and
degradation of natural resources, global warming, the destruction of the
ozone layer, the increase in rainfall, hurricanes and cyclones in some
regions, as well as the exacerbation of droughts in others. All this without
counting environmental accidents due to direct human negligence, such as
oil spills in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico or the accidents at the
Chernobyl or Fukushima nuclear plants.

In this sense, today human beings have a more thorough understanding of

the effects and consequences of their actions and the way in which these
affect, directly or indirectly, mediately or immediately, the rest of the
species and forms of life. with which it cohabits on Earth, and has the tools
to avoid global environmental crises, but it must deprive the political will of
the rulers of the world and the conscience of its inhabitants to be able to
implement them.

CAUSES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL

CRISIS:
1) HUMAN ACTIVITY:

• The continuous industrial development and its activities generate

a large percentage of polluting waste that affects the quality of air,
soil and water.

• The excessive use of gasoline or diesel vehicles encourages the

use of polluting fossil fuels.

• The continuous emissions of polluting gases derived from

industrial activity for the production of goods or services.

• The production and indiscriminate use of plastic for various

purposes.
• The increase in the production of non-biodegradable waste.

2) DEFORESTATION:

Deforestation or indiscriminate felling of trees is one of the main

causes of environmental pollution. This activity has reduced the
forests and jungles of the Earth by significant percentages, even,
the extinction of several of these natural spaces has already been
counted.

3) USE OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OR PESTICIDE:

It is true that farmers must make use of such products to protect fruit and
vegetable crops. However, they are highly polluting and affect the quality of
soil and water. This situation is also aggravated by population growth and
the need to produce more food. Industrial activities produce a large amount
of toxic waste for the environment such as gases, chemicals, solvents,
among others. Many are expelled directly and illegally into the water or air,
contaminating them and causing great environmental damage.
4) INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

Industrial development has earned humanity, especially industrialized countries to

have continued economic prosperity. It has even made it possible to create or
improve various goods, products or services.

 • Greater exploitation of natural resources.

 Environmental imbalance by extracting so many natural resources
and deforesting large spaces such as forests and jungles to build
factories or larger companies.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS:

1) DAMAGE TO THE HEALTH STATE OF THE HUMAN
BEING
 Respiratory diseases: bronchitis, asthma, rhinitis, among others.
 Skin diseases.
 Cardiovascular diseases.
 Hygiene problems in areas where the water is contaminated and
lacking access to potable water.
 Disorders in the development of children and neurological damage.
 Deafness due to noise pollution.
 Genetic mutations.
 Various types of cancer.

2) DISAPPEARANCE OF THE OZONE LAYER

The ozone layer prevents ultraviolet (UV) rays from reaching the Earth's
surface. However, the emission of chlorofluorocarbon gases has caused the
reduction of ozone levels in this layer.

3) MELTING OF THE POLAR CAPS AND INCREASING

TEMPERATURES.

The increase in temperature on Earth causes the polar caps to melt and the
disappearance of various species typical of these highly vulnerable areas.
Also, as we have been observing lately, our country was having too high a
temperature that the heat was unbearable.

4) DANGER OF EXTINCTION OF FLORA AND FAUNA

Environmental pollution affects the balance of life on Earth and has
increased the loss and extinction of hundreds of animal and plant species.

Animals like polar bears are in danger of extinction due to the high
temperatures that affect the North Pole and contribute to the melting of the
ice, reducing the space where they live.

Forests and tropical areas have been deforested to obtain wood or palm oil,
widely used to make various products for human consumption.
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE CLOTHING WE WEAR?. 
Today textile production is responsible for 20% of drinking water pollution. Many
chemicals used in textile manufacturing are harmful to the environment, factory
workers, and consumers. From the EPRS they indicate that the dyes and other
products used are responsible for, approximately Regarding water, we find water
consumption and water contamination. 40% of the fashion industry is made with
cotton and the rest with polyester. Cotton is a thirsty crop, that is, the consumption of
water is gigantic. Only in the production of a cotton pole about a thousand liters of
water. But between 40% and 60% of the water consumption of a garment occurs in the
user's use phase, not in production. If we wanted to significantly reduce the water
consumption of the fashion industry, what we should do is wash less clothes. On the
other hand, water contamination is a very serious problem, due to the dyes that are
used, and obviously it is very focused on the production part. On the issue of
emissions, a garment can go around the world, just in the production process. We
believe that buying clothes online is more eco-friendly, but what it does is pressure
brands to be faster, so you have to send the clothes by plane, where emissions are
much higher than by boat
What is textile waste and how to reduce it?

Textile waste is the excesses and leftovers of all textile productions. They
may contain paints, chemicals, and other toxins that, if not disposed of
properly, cause damage to the environment. The problem lies in the
constant increase in demand. Although this is an important factor for the
development of the textile sector, it is necessary to know how to balance
the accelerated evolution with environmental responsibility. The first is,
without a doubt, recycling. It is possible to carry out this process with the
help of companies that use waste from the sector for other purposes, or
donations to NGOs. These entities often use it to sell or manufacture new
parts.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF SOCIETY BEFORE THIS?
PROBLEM?

I believe that society must become aware so that it can

see less pollution on the planet and thus be able to enjoy
it, we must recycle, we must stop polluting, we must also
avoid doing things that pollute the environment, that
would be our role. how to make humans to help and you
can save the planet that there is already a lot of pollution
and as we see also the clothes are the ones that
contaminate yes I think that it is something that causes
more pollution to the environment we must be very
careful with the use of water since this is one of the main
tools for the survival of the human being
