Environmental problems
There are many major current
environmental problems like: 
 Climate change
 Pollution
 Environmental degradation
 Resource depletion

But first, we’re going to focus

on Climate change and pollution.
Climate Change
 Climate change refers to long-
term shifts in temperatures and
weather patterns. These shifts
may be natural, but since the
1800s, human activities have
beenthe main driver of climate
change, primarily due to the
burning of fossil fuels (like coal,
oil and gas),which produces
heat-trapping gases.
Causes of Climate Change

Change like:
 Burning of fossil fuels
 Deforestation
 Consuming too much
 Using transportation

And more.

Pollutants, the components of
pollution, can be either foreign
substances/energies or naturally
occurring contaminants.
Causes of pollution

The many causes of pollution like:

 The Burning of Fossil Fuels
 Industrial Emission
 Indoor Air Pollution
 Wildfires
 Microbial Decaying Process
 Transportation
 Open Burning of Garbage Waste
 Construction and Demolition
And more.
Effects of pollution

Pollution effects many thing on our

environment like:
 Climate change
 Acid rain
 Diseases
 Death of aquatic animals
 Soil erosion
And more.
How to reduce pollution

These are the best way to reduce pollution:

 Using public transports
 Turn off the lights when not in use
 Recycle and Reuse
 No to plastic bags
 Reduction of forest fires and smoking
 Use of fans instead of Air Conditioner
 Avoid usage of crackers
And more.
