Earth warming up
You know 130 years, Earth's temperature has increased 0.4 degrees C and 2050 forecast temperatures will increase by 1.5 to 4.5 degrees C if the man has no remedy.
Do you know our country has 2 cities on the list of six cities with air pollution is most severe in Hanoi and HCMC. Moreover, Vietnam was ranked the lowest in eight Southeast Asian countries on indicators of environmental stability.
These are terrible figures that startle you or do you just call it normal and do not care. Whatever you are, whether you think it should now take a more practical perspective on environmental issues, especially on air pollution.
Many students like me, college exam to a prestigious institution in Ho Chi Minh City to later have the opportunity to find a stable job, high income. But when starting to get used to faster pace of life in this land, I was scared by the "dirty" the air of this place.
Do you think, with 5 million people currently have and 3 million immigrants, people of the city community daily release of hundreds of thousands of tons of garbage of all kinds. Excessive amount of trash plus people are less aware that garbage thrown sprawling, causing unsanitary conditions and foul odors.
More than 1.8 million motorcycles and 500,000 cars in HCMC and types of motorcycles from other provinces flocked to increase average 10-15% a year making the air increasingly toxic dust, carbon dioxide , sulfur dioxide, ozone ... Especially with the increase in the number of factories, industrial zones, the status of the neighborhood people live in dust, drinking water from contaminated sources of waste industry is inevitable. Emissions from industrial activities will further lift the level of air pollution. About 2 billion people worldwide have died of air pollution every year. In the long run, we would be a victim.Air pollution is one of the leading causes of death. Artwork
In particular, the elderly, pregnant women children under 14 years old, who has lung disease and cardiovascular work outdoors or have high sensitivity to air pollution. These objects require special care on health. Exposure to polluted air for a long time will cause adverse effects such as affecting the health of the fetus and pregnant women, reduce lung function or cause cancer ...
Air pollution levels high also for cardiovascular disease exacerbated, respiratory damage and in particular also affect the human brain.
It is time we should not be indifferent to environmental issues because it can affect quality of life and health of each of us. It is time we should be contributing to the society for the protection of the atmosphere and get to make it fresh again.
If you are a student like me or who go to work, although no plans, great ideas but just you give up some routine is also very helpful in protecting the environment . Such as when you can not come close to climbing right motorcycle that you can walk or ride a bicycle. You should also use the bus at school, work, if not actually necessary to use motorcycles, cars.
You can eat lunch near the workplace, where learning to limit the use of motorcycles, cars or to carpool with you when going to work, school, recreation and entertainment. All the work that was partly to reduce the number of cars circulating in the city to reduce congestion, partly to reduce emissions produced from motorcycles, cars. You can also save a decent portion of money from such activities.
At home, when you waste collection before sorting the garbage dump and should be prescribed places, do not throw haphazard. You can also denounce to the competent authorities of industrial plants discharge behavior of air pollution around where you live.
Or you can participate in club activities as contribute to environmental initiatives, ideas, participate together in activities such as propaganda. This aims to raise awareness of the people, the planting of trees, and picking up litter in public places ... Many other activities that you can join together with people to create a green-clean-beautiful
Let's get together to protect our environment, protection of fresh air. That is not to own one, but of the whole society.
