Awareness and Its Effect

Environmental pollution is one of the most serious challenge us humans and organisms face today. Pollution affects humans wildlife, and the lengths of the ecosystem making the planet a less safe environment for the present, and the future wild pollution comes in many forms. Most of them are caused by factories companies. With the rise of technology companies use more natural resources to keep up with the system while they take in water and other clean resources for their systems to work, they also create a lot of harmful waste that spread out into the environment. While we know that these industries and one of the major reasons why environmental pollution is such a big concern nowadays, us teens snd young people can also have a positive effect on this issue to fix it. Awareness is one of the most important things. Watching our future get ruined by big corporations would not be a very good view to watch. So what can we do? While most individuals think that their small changes wont make a big difference to the world, they should think again. There was a particular trend in 2019 where young girls would spread awareness about the endangerment of turtles and how we could save them. They didn’t ask for much. Only a few changes like; using a reusable non-plastic cup and straw, not buying unnecessary stuff such as clothes, recycling and more. Doesn’t seem like a lot however, scientists have proven that this trend has actually increased the turtle population. Currently, turtles are less endangered than they were back then a few years ago. While no one believed in those girls years ago, they actually helped save lots of animals. Even a few unnoticeable changes in our daily lives can reduce the rate of pollution. Anyone can be hopeless anytime however, hopelessness doesn’t take you anywhere. Instead, you can participate in certain environmental trends or even spread awareness to others. As they say, well begun is half done. While we cant fully stop the air, land, water and other types of environmental pollution big industries do, we can take alternative routes. Changing our way of transportation from time to time (not always) when we have spare time can be an interesting experience and a way to get to get out of our comfort zones because nowadays, almost everyone depends on cars and small vehicles that produce too much air pollution just for a single car. Less is more. The influential people on the internet influencing us to buy unnecessary and cheap stuff such as clothes and other items. They most usually end up in the landfill after just a few months where the only way to get completely rid of them is to burn them all. While im not saying that we should all turn to underconsumption, i just mean that we should think twice about what we buy. We can adopt to eco friendly habits step by step. Using reusable bottles and bags, saving water, using biodegradable materials and clothes that have less plastic in them can have a big impact in our future in a very good way. If we educate our young people by using the internet or doing projects, people will be more aware of the whole situation. It’s not hard, we just have to be mindful of ourselves and our future.
