4. THE EFFECT GLOBAL
WARMING Summary
This project will cultivate a forest of 1 million trees that has been destroyed in
some areas in Indonesia to lessen the impact generated by global warming.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Climate change that have swept our planet has an impact on many natural
disasters that happened on our earth. And one way to tackle climate change it is
with a lot of planting trees to maintain the balance of nature.The project will
require mango tree seeds, nephelium tree (lychee) seeds, teak tree seeds,
maintenance costs, and manure.This project will also aim to save the earth from
erosion and excessive sun damage.
How will this project solve this problem?
And one way to tackle climate change it is with a lot of planting trees to maintain
the balance of nature.
Project Message
If executed, this program will be very useful for all society either they stay in city
or in countryside, to lessen impact that generated by global warming. - Dedi,

6. AIR POLLUTION
Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals,
particulate matter, or biological materials that cause
harm or discomfort to humans or other living
organisms, or cause damage to the natural
environment or built environment, into the
atmosphere.
The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous
system that is essential to support life on planet Earth.
Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has
long been recognized as a threat to human health as
well as to the Earth's ecosystems.
Indoor air pollution and urban air quality are listed as
two of the world's worst pollution problems in the
2008 Blacksmith InstituteWorld's Worst Polluted
Places report.[1]
7. HEALTH EFFECTS
Air pollution is a significant risk factor for multiple health
conditions including respiratory infections, heart disease, and
lung cancer, according to theWHO.The health effects caused
by air pollution may include difficulty in breathing, wheezing,
coughing and aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiac
conditions.These effects can result in increased medication
use, increased doctor or emergency room visits, more hospital
admissions and premature death.The human health effects of
poor air quality are far reaching, but principally affect the
body's respiratory system and the cardiovascular system.
Individual reactions to air pollutants depend on the type of
pollutant a person is exposed to, the degree of exposure, the
individual's health status and genetics.
The most common sources of air pollution include particulate
matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. Both
indoor and outdoor air pollution have caused approximately
3.3 million deaths worldwide. Children aged less than five
years that live in developing countries are the most vulnerable
population in terms of total deaths attributable to indoor and
outdoor air pollu
8. CONTINUATION;-
TheWorld Health Organization states that 2.4 million
people die each year from causes directly attributable to air
pollution, with 1.5 million of these deaths attributable to
indoor air pollution.[16] "Epidemiological studies suggest
that more than 500,000 Americans die each year from
cardiopulmonary disease linked to breathing fine particle
air pollution. . ."[17] A study by the University of Birmingham
has shown a strong correlation between pneumonia related
deaths and air pollution from motor vehicles.[18] Worldwide
more deaths per year are linked to air pollution than to
automobile accidents.[citation needed] Published in 2005
suggests that 310,000 Europeans die from air pollution
annually.[citation needed] Causes of deaths include aggravated
asthma, emphysema, lung and heart diseases, and
respiratory allergies.[citation needed] The US EPA estimates that
a proposed set of changes in diesel engine technology (Tier
2) could result in 12,000 fewer premature mortalities, 15,000
fewer heart attacks, 6,000 fewer emergency room visits by
children with asthma, and 8,900 fewer respiratory-related
hospital admissions each year in the United States.[citation

10. WATER POLLUTION
Water pollution is the contamination of water
bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and
groundwater).Water pollution occurs when
pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly
into water bodies without adequate treatment to
remove harmful compounds.
Water pollution affects plants and organisms
living in these bodies of water. In almost all cases
the effect is damaging not only to individual
species and populations, but also to the natural
biological communities
11. INTRODUCTION
Water pollution is a major global problem which requires ongoing
evaluation and revision of water resource policy at all levels
(international down to individual aquifers and wells). It has been
suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and
diseases,[1][2] and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000
people daily.[2] An estimated 700 million Indians have no access to a
proper toilet, and 1,000 Indian children die of diarrheal sickness every
day.[3] Some 90% of China's cities suffer from some degree of water
pollution,[4] and nearly 500 million people lack access to safe drinking
water.[5] In addition to the acute problems of water pollution in
developing countries, developed countries continue to struggle with
pollution problems as well. In the most recent national report on water
quality in the United States, 45 percent of assessed stream miles, 47
percent of assessed lake acres, and 32 percent of assessed bay and
estuarine square miles were classified as polluted.[6]
Water is typically referred to as polluted when it is impaired by
anthropogenic contaminants and either does not support a human
use, such as drinking water, and/or undergoes a marked shift in its
ability to support its constituent biotic communities, such as fish.
Natural phenomena such as volcanoes, algae blooms, storms, and
earthquakes also cause major changes in water quality and the
ecological status of water.

13. GREAT MESSAGE OF WORLD
ENVIRONMENT
World Environment Day Message Written by INGE NATHOO (Ms) Secretary General
Guyana National Commission for UNESCO Friday, 04 June 2010 22:21 On the occasion
ofWorld Environment Day 2010, we celebrate the theme ‘Many Species, One Planet,
One Future’.Today, and through this year – the InternationalYear of Biodiversity - we
celebrate diversity on Earth. In essence, biodiversity is the diversity of all living forms.
Diversity also expresses itself through cultural diversity, and the two are inextricably
linked.
Biodiversity sustains and inspires our cultures and belief systems. We, in turn, shape
biodiversity. For example, through agro-biodiversity, we have obtained the immense
variety of crops and livestock on which people depend. We have had a central role in
shaping another level of biodiversity – landscapes and seascapes – some of which are
nowadays recognized as the common heritage of mankind because of their unique
beauty, native life forms and contribution to both nature and culture.
Why must we protect this diversity? First and foremost, it is a matter of sustainability.
Biodiversity guarantees resilient ecosystems that contribute to the resources on which
our well-being depends. Similarly, cultural diversity is a key ingredient of social
organization and stability and is the basis of the diversity of practices for accessing and
utilizing living resources.
Science has demonstrated that we, as a species, are an integral part of biodiversity. We
are not above the laws of nature and have a moral imperative to maintain the
biodiversity of which we are part.
On World Environment Day, we need to think about what we can concretely achieve to
protect our environment and planet
