Environmental pollution is when the natural cycle of our environment gets disturbed and becomes harmful to us. Pollution is classified into many categories such as air pollution, soil pollution, water pollution and noise pollution. The rate of pollution is increasing due to the selfishness of human beings in earning more money and fulfilling their wishes. In the modern era where technological advancement is given priority by the people, everyone forgets the environment.
Continuous and unnecessary cutting of trees, urbanisation and large scale production through industrialisation are regarded as huge causes of pollution. Harmful and poisonous waste affect soil, air and water which ultimately make mankind suffer.
Our environment and we humans are incomplete without the help of each other. We should try our best to maintain a healthy environment to help the natural process. Let’s protect the environment.
