Save the Environment from Consequences like Global Warming

Maria Masood
This weekend, I visited this little village which is around 100Km away from Hyderabad. At night, I looked up at the sky and it completely dazzled me. I could see about 10 times more stars than we usually see in the city. I just cannot describe how beautiful the sky looked.

When I got home, I tried to google it out to find out why. I searched for about 5 minutes,and there, I got the answer-a whole new bunch of Facts to explore(Okay, maybe not 'new', but definitely not known to many).

So,Here's why:

The main reason is the 'depletion of natural resources'.

Then there's too much of Co2 emission, water pollution, wastage of resources(as in, when we brush our teeth in the morning), etc.

Moreover, there's overpopulation too. Here's a fact about it:

'With the expected world's population to explode to around 9 billion by 2050, it has become a great concern that people will only have 25% of the resources that were available in 1950.'

Here's some more:

Increase in sea level as a result of melting of ice caps hence making coastal plains uninhabitable.

Agricultural productivity could be majorly affected due to global warming.

Depletion of ozone layer.

Change in weather systems could occur due to warmer climate resulting in more droughts and floods and

Stronger storms and extremes of weather.

Spread of diseases on a bigger scale due to increasing temperatures which would have otherwise been contained due to cold weather conditions.

A major change to ecosystem could occur with most organisms moving towards the North and South pole.

All this can be prevented/postponed(to an extent) by 'recycling' stuff which could be recycled:

It is believed that a ton of paper that is recycled saves 7000 gallons of water, 380 gallons of oil and as much electricity to electrify an average household for 6 months.

One aluminium can recycling can save electricity needed to run a TV for 6 hours.

Recycling one glass bottle saves as much electricity as to power a 100-watts bulb for 4 hours, so calculate the amount of energy one would save by using an energy saving bulb.

So, now everybody who have read this knows why the stars refuse to show up in the city. Let's Get the sky back to looking as beautiful as it's meant to be:)
