Pollution is one of the major environmental problems we are battling in today’s society at large.

However, pollution is the illegal disposal of waste products ranging from degradable and biodegradable waste materials that could be harmful or useful to the environment but on the adverse harm. This has become one of our major problems in today’s world where human activities violate the ethics of society as well as endangering the lives of humans and that of animals as well.

To start with, pollution comes in different forms and ways so of which are known and some are unknown to us. Alongside, the types of pollution today are plastic pollution, air pollution, water pollution, land pollution

First of all plastic pollution is the most common of all listed above .plastic pollution is mainly caused by our day to day activities which most of which cannot be carried out without plastics. This has caused harm to our society at large and even went to the extent of endangering the life and health of the ocean and sea habitat as well. This is one of the sources of food and income which most countries rely on. When these plastics materials are not properly disposed of, they get washed down by the rain or carried away by the wind and they end up in our oceans and the sea habitat mistake these things for food which when eaten it endangers their life and that of ours as well because we end up eating them.

Another is air pollution which is caused by everyday human activities ranging from the burning of waste materials, smoke from faulty vehicles, emission from industries, and much more. One of the most harmful and deadly effects of air pollution is the depletion of the ozone layer and emission of harmful carbon monoxide which is harmful when breathing into our body. Meanwhile, the ozone layer is a layer between the sun and the earth that helps in the prevention of harmful radiation from reaching the earth’s surface.

However, pollution could be prevented by taking safety precautions and measures which even though will not eradicate it all but at least will be reduced. As well as making our environment a friendly place for humans, plants, and animals as well.

Moreover, some safety precautions could be taken in the disposal of plastic materials properly in waste bins and incinerators. Some of these waste materials could be recycled or reused.

In conclusion, enlightening others about the dangers of pollution will help a lot in eradicating pollution likewise awareness of dangers of pollutions could be publicized to the media and people at large on how to maintain a friendly environment because an adage says ‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness.’ Let us make a difference in my world, your world, and our world and we would notice the difference. I would like to end by saying ‘Change begins with me.’
