Measures for healthy environment


The earth resources are excessively exploited in comparison to their regenerative capacity. at present, the forests are diminishing very much exerted because of improper utilization. water and air have been polluted from smoke, chemicals and pesticides. wild animals are in danger because of diminishing of species in biodiversity. the loss in the quality of soil from agriculture land has given series threat of food supply in many developing countries. the depletion in quality and condition of the natural resources is termed as environmental degradation. the growing human population and their greedy nature are responsible for such a situation. hence we should adopt proper measure for healthy environment management.
following measures should be followed:-
1 afforestation programme is to be undertaken in urban areas.
2 to develop proper drainage system in urban areas.
3 the plantation of new saplings in highways on both sides.
4 to check deforestation.
5 to locate industries and factories away from the city.
6 to make conservation of wild life.
7 to establish training institutes for environmental management.
8 to extract minerals in a scientific way.
9 to conduct meeting, symposium, seminar and debate regarding environmental through local bodies, NGOs and INGOs.


Importance of healthy environment
the human population has been dependent on environment since its appearance on the earths surface. the environment provides all the basic needs for a population to survive and to stay health. every individual needs food, clothing, shelter, water, air, light, soil, etc. for the survival and development.
we get food from plants and animals. plant grow on the soil by utilizing sunlight, carbon dioxide, water and nutrients of the soil. plants also provide materials for clothing and shelter. animals which we eat get food from plant. non-living environment also supplies water and oxygen to plants and animals including human beings. therefore, it is clear that the human population entirely depends on the environment.
everything that comes from the environments has some utility for man but its utilization is possible only on the understanding of the environment. the available natural gift of environment can be used but without damaging the environment. for example, we need oxygen for the respiration to survive. if we pollute the atmosphere, we will not get enough oxygen to respire.
growing population has been creating problems of forest destruction, soil erosion, flood, landslides,etc. due to these problems, the pressure on forest, soil, minerals etc has been increasing. over-exploitation of these resources may result in becomes difficult for the living organism to survive. therefore, including human beings. hence, it is very important for us to maintain a healthy environment.
