For my second blog for this environmental science website I decided to do it on water pollution.
What I'm going to do for this blog on water pollution I will give some facts on it, tell you what the causes are, and mention possible solutions that everyone can do to stop it. So I hope you enjoy this factional blog entry.
First off I will start by telling whoever is reads this blog some important facts about water pollution. So first ill explain what water pollution is it is any contaminated bodies of water on this planet. Did you know that 15 million children die each year because of diseases caused by contaminated drinking water and also the WHO says about 2 billion people do not have any access to improved sanitation for themselves. Also I'm sure you would never realize that about 700 million people worldwide drink contaminated water, scary isn't it.
Next I will now tell you what the cause are to our planets polluted water. Well, the one main one reason for all the different ways our waters are contaminated is because, of us or in general humanity. So because of humanity and our habits of producing so much waste we caused about 80% of the water pollution by sewage and throwing garbage all over the place. Although human waste is not the only source of pollution another one is also industrial waste which releases huge amounts of toxic and dangerous chemicals into water as well.
Now the final thing for this blog I'm going to mention possible solutions that everyone can do to stop water pollution. For one possible ways we can stop it is to stop throwing away rubbish and garbage where it doesn't belong, but what we can do is to correctly dispose or reuse any waste we could be done with. Another thing we could do is not to stop dumping liquid chemicals down any source of drain or environment so it doesn't reach our water and contaminate them.
So after explaining what water pollution and some other facts on it such as, what some causes are, and mention possible solutions that everyone can do to stop it I hope you can help to save our planets water. Well, I hope you enjoyed this second blog entry and thanks for reading.
