What is environment degradation
2
CAUSES OF ENVIRONMENT
DEGRADATION
Depletion of ozone layer(O3): when Chlorofluorocarbons comes in the
contact of ozone in the stratosphere which destroys the ozone layer
molecules and make it O2 after the reaction.
Population: Because of the increasing rate of population there are
some recourses which are getting extinct that has resulted
environmental crisis.
Industrialisation: There are increasing number of industries which are
releasing harmful gases in the air that is causing air pollution

DIFFERENT TYPES OF
ENVIRONMENT DEGRADATION
Deforestation: Removal of large number of forests for industrial
development and agricultural purposes.
Air Pollution: The release of harmful particles into the air such as methane
(CH4), Carbon monoxide(co) which are emitted by cars and big industries.
Water Pollution: The industrial waste such as harmful chemicals are mixed
with pure water by humans which is dangerous for humans and aquatic
animals' survival.
Soil Degradation: The quality of soil is decreasing day by day that all because
of deforestation and agriculture done by humans.

Solutions to Prevent Environment
Degradation
Transport Choices:- Wisely choosing which mode of transport to use while
travelling can help in low traffic and low carbon emissions.
Food Choices:- Transporting food from various parts of world leads to use of a
huge amount of fuel, which can be minimized by consuming local grown or
harvested food products.
Energy Choices:- Ensuring to switch of the lights and other electronic
appliances when not in use.
Conservation of water:- Avoiding unwanted usage of water by fixing leaking
taps and avoid washing dishes with running water.

Our role in preventing environment
from degradation
• Through various actions and initiatives we can prevent environment from
getting deteriorated .
1.Sustainable practices:-By Adopting sustainable lifestyle such as eco-friendly
products and using RRR which is recycle, reuse, reduce.
2.Renewable Energy Adoption:-Use of renewable energy sources such as solar,
wind and hydropower we can reduce environmental degradation. We can also use
fuel-efficient vehicles.
3. Reducing pollution:-Reducing the use of plastic bags , dispose of
waste and hazardous materials, and participating in community cleanup
efforts .
