          Plastic caused pollution is no new topic to us as it is still one of the leading causes of sea pollution and soil pollution. Idols are another cause for water pollution as are immersed with other pollution causing agents like metal, jewelry and flowers. Talking about idols immersed in water, plastic is just as harmful substance as idols that are being disposed of into the water. What makes plastic so dangerous? Is it because it is a poison? The answer is YES! It’s simple — plastic isn’t natural. Although it is derived from petroleum, which is processed from naturally occurring crude oil, plastic does not occur in nature. There’s lots of science behind it, but it mostly involves the chemical bonds of plastic vs. the molecular bonds of organic matter like an apple. Plastic’s carbon bonds aren’t the same as the chemical bonds found in nature, making it harder and more energy-intensive to break them down. Plastic is dangerous because of its indestructability nature. Which means t

          Water pollution is a major factor after air pollution which is causing lot deaths of people and adversely affecting the growth of sustainability. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human activities, in such a manner that negatively affects its legitimate uses.  Water pollution reduces the ability of the body of water to provide the ecosystem services that it would otherwise provide. Water bodies include for example lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers, reservoirs and groundwater. Water pollution results when contaminants are introduced into these water bodies. Water pollution can usually be attributed to one of four sources: sewage, industry, agriculture, and urban runoff including stormwater. For example, releasing inadequately treated wastewater into natural waters can lead to degradation of these aquatic ecosystems. Water pollution can also lead to water-borne diseases for people using polluted water for drinking, bathing, washing or ir

How has Google helped tackle against air pollution.

          Air pollution refers to the release of pollutants into the air—pollutants which are detrimental to human health and the planet as a whole. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), each year air pollution is responsible for nearly seven million deaths around the globe. Nine out of ten human beings currently breathe air that exceeds the WHO’s guideline limits for pollutants, with those living in low- and middle-income countries suffering the most. In the United States, the Clean Air Act, established in 1970, authorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to safeguard public health by regulating the emissions of these harmful air pollutants. Moreover, companies like Google (also known as Alphabet) have already started to reach the aim of clean and green environment. Reduction of air pollutants like O3, CFC’s and CO2 have become their primary goal towards their goal. Google (also known as Alphabet) is one of the top tier software companies which has a net wort

          We know that any kind of pollution is taken seriously for a fact, we know that there has been a major debate on the topic a few years ago and people are coming up with ways to counter/tackle such as electric cars, solar plants, wind energy, hydro power and many more. In 2020, pollution (all kinds of pollution including air pollution) was responsible for about 1/8 th   of deaths in Europe and was a major risk factor for pollution related diseases such as heart problems, stroke and lung cancer. According to statistics, the published estimates of the death toll from air pollution span a wide range, as the chart above made clear. The number of deaths attributed to outdoor air pollution ranges from 3 million to almost 9 million per year. In addition, a large number of deaths are attributed to indoor air pollution.                                                              (post from  YouTube  https://youtu.be/GVBeY1jSG9Y )  Vehicles being one of the largest contributors of pollu

          Sustainability means to meet our needs without compromising the needs for the future generations. Global warming is another cause of climate change which is caused by long-term heating of earth’s atmosphere which causes acid rain, skin cancer and many more. These are some of the hot topics in the current society which wants to go eco-friendly. Yet there are many industries that mass produce/dig up fossil fuels to run cars, rockets, machines and many more. These are some of the primary reasons why climate change is increasing. But People have invented renewable sources of energy which can have a huge impact on carbon dioxide emission. But how can we help in developing our environment sustainably and how are other companies helping in the progress? I read many articles about global warming and renewable sources of energies which had a huge impact on my perspective to the topic. For many people, sustainability is closely associated with environmental issues, in which case it is

Basically, Globalization is a term used to describe how trade and technology have made the world into a more connected and interdependent place. Globalization also captures in its scope the economic and social changes that have come about as a result. It may be pictured as the threads of an immense spider web formed over millennia, with the number and reach of these threads increasing over time. People, money, material goods, ideas, and even disease and devastation have traveled these silken strands, and have done so in greater numbers and with greater speed than ever in the present age. People travel many places in their life and explore new things in life. Traveling has become common in the current era and globalization has made many things possible for everyone. Globalization is a very
