Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about environmental problems

and solutions to prevent them.

Our planet is changing with each passing day. These changes are caused,
unfortunately, by countless human actions such as pollution, the emission
of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that lead to
global warming and climate change among other factors like
deforestation.
Deforestation to the extinction of many species of animals and plants. By
destroying plant species that no one has ever studied who knows how
many medicines we are losing since most of our drugs to treat many
illnesses come from plants. At the same time, we are coming in contact
with new diseases. For instance, COVID19 came from wild animals. Ebola,
another terrible disease, comes from the contact of people with wild
animals. When we destroy the forest, these contacts are becoming more
frequent.
Today our main environmental problems are climate change because of
soil and air pollution, global warming, ozone depletion, the decrease and
extinction of species due to deforestation.
The ozone layer in the Stratosphere is vital for Earth, as it is responsible
for absorbing much of the ultraviolet radiation that is harmful to life and,
specially, to us.
The main cause of the hole in the ozone layer is the chemical reaction of
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) with ozone. These CFCs are present mainly in
aerosols, air conditioning, refrigerator gas, plastic foams and solvents.
CFCs enter a decomposition process in the stratosphere, through the
action of ultraviolet rays, breaking the bonds of ozone and destroying its
molecules. The destruction of the ozone layer also contributes to climate
change, increased smog situations, changes in natural ecosystems,
changes in agricultural systems, disorders of the human immune system,
increased cancer, especially of the skin, eye damage and a lot of more
serious problems.
Solutions?
If we do not change our way of living future generations won’t be able to
have a healthy life. Humanity will suffer and it even may go extinct like the
dinosaurs.
